The Lay of the Cid. Folio 44v

Great company of people marched with the Campeador.
They rode straight to Valencia ta'en when his star was high.
On Diego and Ferrando he bade then keep an eye.
Muno Gustioz and Per Vermudoz they had commandment plain —
In all my lord Cid's household were not a better twain
The ways of them of Carrion to discover them and find.
Ansuor Gonzalvez joined the heirs who was a noisy hind,
Loose-tongued, and for untrustful in other things well know
They showered many honors on the Heirs of Carrion.
Behold them in Valencia that the Cid my lord had ta'en.
When they looked upon the city they were exceeding fain.
Muno Gustioz and don Pero, to them the lord Cid spake:
"Straightway the Heirs of Carrion unto a lodging take,
But do you tarry with them, so doth my order run.
When entereth in the morning, when breaketh forth the sun
Of Dame Sol and Dame Elvira, their brides, they shall have sight."

Then every man departed to his lodging-place that night.
The Cid Campeador has entered his castle once again.
Abode him Dame Ximena, she and her daughters twain.
"Campeador who in good season girt sword, thou hast come thy ways;
May the eyes of our faces behold thee many days."
"I am come, wife much honored, by the Creator's grace,
And sons-in-law I bring thee, whence our fame shall wax apace.
I have married you well my daughters, so thank me for it well.
