And the kindly countess called from far: "Zara, what aileth thee? Where art thou? For I called, and yet thou didst not answer me." 'Twas eight stout warriors matched with eight, and ten with valiant ten, As Aliatare formed a band allied with Moslem men, To joust, with loaded canes, that day in proud Toledo's ring, Against proud Adelifa's host before their lord the King.
