lost We are now at the mercy

The evil days will pass when the

Boabdil in Prison
Boabdil Granada beautiful
Granad athou liest forlorn and
desolate in vain do he orange
and the myrtle breathe their
perfume into thy silken cham-
bers in vain does tho nightin-
gale sing within thy groves in
vain are the marble halls re-
freshed by the sounds of thy rip-
pling fountains and the gush of
thy limpil rills Alas the sun
has set upon thy glory forever
I picture thee in the tyrants
hand when desolation saddens
thy green where once through
the Woodlands the zephyrs de
spersed their balmy air where
streams along the valley stray-
ed fringe withd cmfwypcmfw
ed fringed with stately willows
entwined with the mingling
notes birds enriched with the
brightest plumage Who will
enjoy these scenes of transient
gaity and beauty hereafter
Who will ever discover the
traces of elegance and enjoy
ment when the effects of this
cruel war has turned them into
dust and ashes to tenants of
the tomb to phantoms of mem
ory here where creations
mildest forms all combined
When will ever these long colon
ades brightened by the soft
moonlight echo the faint sounds
tent myself with such a fate 0 oTthe ow Voice of some youth
such distressing news MVho can I fui cavalier serenading his
ever rescue Boabdil from the
fierce grasp of his victor Who
shall collect the remains of so
many martyrs who have fallen
in the cause of our faith What
sorrow gloomed that parting
day when thou wa j callst from
mother wife and home away In
vain I have been watching from
this tower daily thy triumphant
return Should I never be made
Tiappy again with thy fond em-
brace 0 it will run me mad

La Horra Moderate these
transports my daughter Re-
member magnimity should be
the attribute of princes it be-
comes not them to give way to
clamorous sorrow like common
vulgar minds In the hands of
hearts choice Vain transitory
splendor Whoever after ages
behold thee even on the verge
of decline yes even tho totter-
ing ruins shall inspire awe and
command admiration looking
out of the window Once more
it is granted to me to admire
the snowy summits of the Sierra
Nevada they gleam like silvery
clouds against the darkened fir

mament their outlines soft and
delicate rehiring to the table
My fatal greatness was bright-
ened by the hope of success but
only like a glowing meteor it
shines and is no more 0 how
I yearned to make Alhambras
glory great < But alas I was
destined to b the last Moorish
King to reign within these
walls Woe to the day that I was
born and evil to the stars that
presided at my birth Sorrow
is heaped upon me through my
father and sorrow do I trans-
mit unto my Son Interrupted
by a messenger from King Fer
dinand after reading a short
message Tell thy and my sov-
ereign the King and Queen of
Spain that I cannot be unhappy
being in the power of such high
and mighty princes especially
since they partake so largely of
that grace and goodness which
Allah betows upon the monarchS
wh6m he dearly loves Sur-
renders the keys Here are the
keys Tell your most gracious
sovereigns that they locked up
all the hopes within me of ever
freeing my country Messen-
ger exit At this moment a dis-
guised servant of La Horra en-
ters who quickly delivers a let-
ter and thenfcdisappears
Boabdil reads aloud
Shame to linger submissively
within the walls of thy own
kingdom and fallow an usurper
t < > be proclaimed King in your
Capitol It isa feeble mind that
waits for theiturn of fortunes
wheel the brave mind seizes it
and wields its purpose Choose
the field and you may drive dan-
ger before you remain hovering
at Home and it besieges you in
your own dwelling By a bold
monument you may regain your
splendid throne of Granada
while by pasisve forbearance
you may only gain a miserable
existence in a foreign country as
an exile Be true to your coun
try and j cur faith hold no com-
munication with these Christian
dogs Trust not the hollow
hearted friendship of the Cas
tillian King he is undermining
the earth befieath thy feet
ChoqseYone of tfeJtworaHhrbrie
or a grave for a King there is
no honorable medium The field
of combat is the sphere of men
Accept my proposition and make
use of the fiery steed which will
be at your disposal at the gates
of Granada at midnight Flee
to the border where loyal hearts
will greet you Strike bold
while you strike for freedom
and vengeance A sudden blow
may mend all or make an end
Reads rereads and he sud
denly rises Should there still
be a glimpse of hope Alas my
fate could not be more humiliat
ing Granada beautiful Grana
da should I own and govern
thee once more Every beat of
the pulse in my ambition is
phompted by the love of these
alone 0 my cpuntry for thee
alone I shall toil and strive to
make fhee great and fair Boab
dil and Alhambra shall prove in-
separable What have I done
that I shall be a prisoner with-
in thy very walls the paradise
of my forefathers Surely Al-
lah will befriend the righteous
cause One blow and all may be
my own again
