The Lay of the Cid. Folio 74r

"Thanks to the King of Heaven, well are avenged my daughters twain.
Now may they hold their Carrion lands. Their shame is wiped away.
I will wed them in great honor, let it grieve whom it may."
They of Navarre and Aragon were busied now to treat,
And with Alfonso of Leon in conference they meet.
Dame Sol and Dame Elvira in due course wedded are.
Great were their former matches, but these are nobler far.
He gave with greater honor than before the twain to wed;
He who in happy hour was born still doth his glory spread,
Since o'er Navarre and Aragon as queens his daughters reign;
Today are they kinswomen unto the kings of Spain.
From him came all that honor who in good hour had birth.
The Cid who ruled Valencia has departed from the earth
At Pentecost. His mercy may Christ to him extend.
To us all, just men or sinners, may He yet stand our friend.

Anónimo, copista Per Abbat
