XXVI.
At noon, high-rais'd above the crowd,In a pavilion glitt'ring proud,
The lovely Queen with all her train
Sate gazing on the listed plain:
And, foremost of the courtly ring,
Was Murcia's young and gallant King;
A warrior brave in camps was he,
Though now, from 'cumbering armor free,
He view'd the splendid panoply;
Content, by Isabella's side,
Each champion's prowess to decide.
