INTRODUCTION,
o grande Cavalleiro,
Qlle ao vento velas deu ua occidua parte,
E la, onde infante 0 Sol da luz pl'imeiro,
Fixou das Quinus santas 0 Estendarte.
E com afrouta do infernal guerreiro,
(Merce do Ceo) ganhou pOl' for9a, e arte
o aureo Heino, e trocou com pio exemplo
A profana mesquita em sacro templo.

Alfonso, em que a santa
Sino terlt pOl' v6s a liberdade,
A Monarquia, que hoje 0 Ceo levanta,
Devoto consagrando a eternidade.
0, bem nascida generosa planta,
Que em flor fructo ha de dar It Christandade,
E materia a mil cysnes, que, cantando
De v6s, se hiriio comvosco eternizando.
De Christo a injusta morte vingou Tito
N a de Jerusalem total ruin~ :
E a v6s, a quem Deos deu hum peito invitto,
Ser vingador de sua Fe destin a,
J<Jxtinguir do Agareno 0 falso rite;
He cIe vosso valor a empreza dina :
Tornai pois 0 bastiio de empreza grande
Para 0 tempo que 0 Ceo marchar vos mande.
