He offers Rodomont, if to his side

  He will return, but offers him in vain,

  Renowned Almontes' daughter, as a bride;

  His cousin she, her portion Oran's reign.

  He lures not from his bridge that knight of pride,

  Who has so many sells, such plate and chain

  Collected there, from cavaliers o'erthrown,

  As serve to hide the monumental stone.
