" [ 132 ] ZARA'S EAR-RINGS. [I have taken the liberty to omit, in translating this ballad, certain lines, in which men- tion is made of " the Mass" and " the Marquisses. " Depping considers these as the in- terpolations of a Spaniard unskilfully rendering a Moorish song. ] I. " MY ear-rings ! my ear-rings ! they've dropt into the well, And what to say to Mu$a, I cannot, cannot tell. " 'Twas thus Granada's fountain by, spoke Albuharez' daughter, " The well is deep, far down they lie, beneath the... cold blue water- To me did Mu9a give them, when he spake his sad farewell, And what to say when he comes back, alas ! I cannot tell. ii. " My ear-rings ! my ear-rings ! they were pearls in silver set, That when my Moor was far away, I ne'er should him forget, That I ne'er to other tongue should list, nor smile on other's tale, But remember he my lips had kiss'd, pure as those ear-rings pale- When he comes back, and hears that I have dropp'd them in the well, Oh what will Mu9a think of me, I cannot, cannot tell.
