I know of all your tricks and can tell them to your face.
Do you remember in Valencia the skirmish and the chase?
You asked leave of the Cid to make the first attack.
You went to meet a moor, but you soon came running back.
I met the Moor and killed him, or he would have killed you.
I gave you up his arms and all that was my due.
Up to this very hour I never said a word you praised yourself before the Cid, and I stood by and heard how you had killed the Moor and done a valiant act, and they believed you all, but they never knew the fact.
You are tall enough and handsome, but cowardly and weak.
Thou tongue without a hand, how can you dare to speak?
There's the story of the lions should never be forgot.
Now let us hear, Fernando, what answer you have got?
The Cid was sleeping in his chair with all his knights around.
The cry went forth along the hall that the lion was unbound.
What did you do, Fernando?
Like a coward as you were, you shrunk behind the Cid and crouched beneath his chair.
We pressed around the throne to shield our loved from harm till the good sid awoke, he rose without alarm.
He went to meet the lion with his mantle on his arm.
The lion was abashed, the noble Cid to meet.
He bowed his mane to the earth, his muzzle at his feet.
The Cid, by the neck and the mane drew him to his den, he thrust him in at the hatch and came to the hall again.
