XLI.
The Caliph, springing to the fair,Rais'd her in love's most fond embrace:
His helm was off, his head was bare;
And valiant knights his name declare;
Almanzor, first of Moorish race!
252
With graceful courtesy he bent,
And hail'd the champion of his dame.
No time was this for idle speech:
“The Princess dies! Have you no leech
For her whose aid a worm might claim?”
They bore her to the royal tent,
They laid her on a couch;
For skilful leeches, hurrying, sent;
And maidens o'er the pillow bent,
Made holy by her touch.
