'Filhas que d'ella tiveres
Ensina-as melhor que a mim,
Que se nao percam por homens
Como eu me perdi por ti.'

See, Don Ramiro's galley speeds
Across the heavy seas,
His pennant which the moor so dreads
Now flutters in the breeze. Oh! when he went, his heart was moved
With grief that would not hide...
To part with her he long had loved
Though lately called his bride! Spain's loveliest maids or royal queen
In charms could not compare
With Violante, had she been
True as her form was fair.
