MONTORO'S SONG
MONTORO'S SONG AGAINST COUNT ALVARO DE
LUNA, HIGH CONSTABLE OF CASTILE
(From the Spanish of E. Marquina)
"King, a flock is feeding
down the cliff unheeding
and upon the hill,
with your crook to shepherd it. . . ."
—It is yours, O Favourite.
Ask for what you will.
"In your crown a jewel
blazes fierce and cruel—
kingship to fulfil.
Such a royal stone is it. . . ."
—It is yours, O Favourite.
Ask for what you will.
