Chapter XLIII

"Dost thou then go, Minaya, to the great land of Castile And unto our well-wishers with a clear heart canst thou say: 'God granted us his favor, and we conquered in the fray?' If returning thou shalt find us here in this place, 'tis well; If not, where thou shalt hear of us, go seek us where we dwell. For we must gain our daily bread with the lance and with the brand, Since otherwise we perish here in a barren land. And therefore as methinketh, we must get hence away."
