Chapter XXXIX

And Martin Antolínez a heavy stroke let drive At Gálve. On his helmet the rubies did he rive; The stroke went through the helmet for it reached unto the flesh. Be it known, he dared not tarry for the man to strike afresh. King Fáriz and King Gálve, but beaten men are they. What a great day for Christendom! On every side away Fled the Moors. My lord Cid's henchmen still striking gave them chase. Into Terrér came Fáriz, but the people of the place Would not receive King Gálve. As swiftly as he might Onward unto Calatayúd he hastened in his flight. And after him in full pursuit came on the Campeador. Till they came unto Calatayúd that chase they gave not o'er.
