With horse and foot, of good or evil sort,

  Marsilius throughout Spain their loss repairs;

  And each armed back in Barcellona's port,

  Furnished through love or fear, for sea prepares.

  The Moor to council daily calls his court;

  Nor care nor cost the watchful monarch spares:

  Meanwhile sore taxes and repeated cess,

  All Africa's o'erburdened towns oppress.
