Though she was very fortunate in having fallen into the hands of Don Alonso, yet the thoughts of becoming a captive to the Christians sadly afflicted her. In spite of her courage she could not refrain from tears ; she was not able to make any other reply to the obliging offers of her generous enemy than by giving him her hand, to show the confi- dence she reposed in him. The young warrior, moved by the tears of his fair prisoner, tried all he could to console her; and as he spoke from the abund...ance of his heart, what he said was so tenderly expressive that in any other situation it might have had more effect on the beautiful Moor; but, although she felt most sensibly his endeavours to soothe her under her misfortune, the acknowledgments that she made were but very inadequate as a return for the lively interest he took on her behalf. As soon as he was informed that a retreat was sounded by order of the king, and that the Christians were already filing off to regain the camp, he yielded his own horse to the lady, who vaulted into the saddle entirely unassisted, and knew well how to manage her steed.
