166 Your fair reward. The example that you gave

Of valour, Spain in constancy sustain'd

Her warriors shows, inciting to prepare

For other conflicts they undaunted greet.

Look to the city of Alcides! there

Gravina, Alava and Escanio meet!

Cisneros and a hundred more combine

There in firm column, with proud hopes to bless

Our native land. Come, fly ye here, and shine

In heaven their stars of glory, and success."
