236 The fiercest, strongest on the wing, That will admit no rest; Thus all that multitude confused Of passions wild and strange, Of which Don Pedro for a while Was tangled in the range, At length from breast and head alike Fled finding a retreat, And living left distinct alone, With horror great replete, The image of Fadrique, His eldest brother famed, The pride of knights and Master those Of Santiago named. Now from Humillia's conquered walls, With matchless courage won, In triumph had Fadrique come O'er vanquished Aragón. Where erst the bars, the castles now He floating left abroad, And to present the keys he brings His brother, king and lord. Well knows the king no rebel lie, But friend and ally true, And more than Tello madly hates. And more than Henry too.
