The Sale Of Human Organ Pros And Cons
Abenamar
After visiting the Alhambra yesterday, today I had to share this romance (anonymous, XV century):
"Abenamar, Abenamar,
the Moorish Moor,
the day you were born large
signs!
The sea was calm, the moon was full
:
Moro
born in this sign should not tell a lie. " Then the Moor answered
,
you shall hear what he said:
"I will tell you, sir,
though it costs my life,
I am the son of a Moor and a Christian slave
;
when I was child and boy, what my mother
said
not tell a lie, that was great villainy
:
therefore asked the king,
tell you the truth. "
" I thank you, Abenamar
aquesa your courtesy.
What castles are those? Senior
are and shone
"The Alhambra was, sir, and the other
Mosque;
the others Alixares,
wrought so marvelously.
The Moor who tilled a hundred gold coins
charged per day and the day
not tilled,
he lost as many.
The other is Generalife,
garden without peer;
other Bermejas Torres,
castle of great worth. "
Then spoke the King Don Juan,
you shall hear what he said:
" If you were willing, Granada,
I would marry you;
I would give you a pledge and dowry
to Cordoba and Seville. "
" I am married, King Don Juan,
I am married, no widow;
the Moor that I have very large
well I wanted. "
you not love the first stanza?
