And ye, good priors, I bid you take And divide all that you hold Among the soldiers of the guard And great shall be your reward.

540 For of the income you obtain By whatever means you may The churches have but little gain, And from alms you still abstain: How you spend it who shall say?

545 For the conquest of Africa Give a t.i.the of your possessions, Give it, if you can, with pleasure, For the less you have of treasure The less need you fear oppressions.

550 And O rulers and n.o.blemen, Yea and every citizen, Listen, listen to the drums, Hark to them with Christian ears!

And ye people, hold not back, 555 Forward, forward to the attack!



Give your lives and your incomes, For in such a conflict holy None should harbour any fears.

_All these figures ordered themselves in winding circles and by turns sang and acted the following, all singing:_

Ta la la la lam, ta la la la lam.

560 _Hannibal._ On, on! go forward, lord and knight, Since in war waged for the right G.o.d as Captain leads the fight.

_They sing._ Ta la la la lam, ta la la la lam.

_H._ To war, to war, both rich and poor, 565 To war, to war, most ruthlessly Since the great King Manuel's wrath Is gone forth against the Moor.

And he sworn and promised hath In his inmost heart that he 570 Will destroy them from his path.

_They sing._ Ta la la la lam, ta la la la lam.

_H._ And his Highness for a sign Of our Holy Faith's increase Wills that at Fez by grace divine 575 The mosque shall a cathedral be.

War, war ever without cease Is his purpose mightily.

_They sing._ Ta la la la lam, ta la la la lam.

_H._ This our King most excellent 580 And with great good fortune blest Is lord of every continent From the East unto the West: And the high G.o.d omnipotent In his gracious keeping still 585 Guards his royal heart from ill.

_They sing._ Ta la la la lam, ta la la la lam.

_And with this chorus they went out and the above Tragicomedy ends._

Seu fundamento he que hum fidalgo de muyto pouca renda vsaua muyto estado, tinha capelam seu & ouriuez seu, & outros officiaes, aos quaes nunca pagaua. E vendose o seu capelam esfarrapado & sem nada de seu entra dizendo:_

Quando aquilo vi mezquinho entendi que era cilada contra os cauallos da corte & minha mula pelada.

Logo tiue a mao sinal tanta milham apanhada 20 e a peso de dinheiro: o mula desemparada!

Vi vir ao longo do rio hua batalha ordenada, nam de gentes mas de mus, com muita raya pisada.

_F._ a.s.si vos dey eu fauores & disso pouco que eu posso 60 vos fiz mais que outros senores.

Ora um clerigo que mais quer de renda nem outro bem que darlhe homem de comer, que he cada dia hum vintem, & mais muyto a seu prazer?

-- Ora a honrra que se monta: he capelam de foam!

_C._ E do vestir nam fazeis conta, & esse comer com payxam, 70 & dormir com tanta afronta que a coroa jaz no cham sem cabecal, e aa hua hora, & missa sempre de caca?

& por vos cayr em graca serviauos tambem de fora, atee comprar sibas na praca; -- E outros carregozinhos desonestos pera mi.

Isto, senhor, he a.s.si.

80 & azemel nesses caminhos, arre aqui & arre ali, & ter carrego dos gatos & dos negros da cozinha & alimparvolos capatos & outras cousas que eu fazia.
