IV.

True to their charge, the warriors bring
The Herald to Castillia's King.
“Monarch”—he said—“the changing breeze
“Shall fill with Bayonne's fleet the seas.

“Shall spread its terror o'er the main;
“Our chiefs the rights of kings maintain.
“If valour may uphold thy cause,
“Edward the sword of victory draws.”
