Suspiro mio Çid ca mucho habie grandes cuidados, Hablo mio Çid bien & tan mesurado: Grado a ti Señor padre que estas en alto: Esto me han vuelto mios enemigos malos. 10 Alli piensan de aguijar, alli sueltan las riendas.	He sighed, My Cid, for very grave his cares. With moderation spake My Cid, and well: "Lord Father, thanks to Thee who art on high, For this my evil foes upon me brought." 10 They here bethink to drive the spurs, or there

A la exida de Vivar hobieron la corneja diestra, E entrando a Burgos hobieronla siniestra. Mecio mio Çid los hombros & engrameo la tiesta: Albricia, Albar Fañez, ca echados somos de tierra! 15 Mio Çid Ruy Diaz por Burgos entraba,	The reins relar. From out Bivar the crow They had to right; to left at Burgos′ gate. My Cid his shoulders shrugged and raised his head: "A guerdon, Albarfanez! Eriled we!" My Cid Ruy Diaz entered Burgos town,

En su compaña, 60 pendones; exienlo ver mugieres & varones: Burgueses & burguesas por las finiestras son, Plorando de los ojos, tanto habien el dolor. De las sus bocas todos decian una razon: 20 Dios que buen vasallo! Si hobiese buen Señor!	Within his band he sirty pennons bore. The men and women rush to see him pass. The men and women folk the windows crowd, With streaming eyes, so very sad they were. A single thought their mouths proclaims:"Ah, God!" What worthy vassal, had he worthy lord!"

Convidarle ien de grado, mas ninguno no osaba; El Rey don Alfonso tanto habie la grande saña. Antes de la noche en Burgos de el entro su carta, Con grande recaudo & fuerte mientre sellada: 25 que a mio Çid Ruy Diaz, que nadi no le diesen posada,	Though willing, ventured none to welcome him, For deep the anger king Alfonso bore. His mandate entered Burgos ere the night, With great precaution brought and firmly sealed: That none a shelter grant My Cid Ruy Diaz.

E aquel que gela diese sopiese vera palabra: que perderie los haberes & mas los ojos de la cara, E aun demas los cuerpos & las almas. Grande duelo habien las gentes cristianas; 30 Ascondense de mio Çid, ca no le osan decir nada.	And whoso granteth, word of truth attend: Possesions shall he forfeit, sight as well; Bereft of even soul and body stand. On Christian folk a heavy sorrow fell; They shin My Cid, nor venture speech with him.

El Campeador adeliño a su posada; Asi como llego a la puerta, fallola bien cerrada, Por miedo del Rey Alfonso, que asi lo habien parado: que si no la quebrantase por fuerza, que no gela abriese nadi 35 Los de mio Çid a altas voces llaman;	Directly sought the Campeador his house. Arrived before the portal, found it fast, In fear of king Alfonso thus they planned, That never any open unto him, If he endeavor not by force to break. In accents loud My Cid′s attendant call;

Los de dentro no les querien tornar palabra. Aguijo mio Çid, a la puerta se llegaba, Saco el pie del estribera, una ferida le daba; No se abre la puerta, ca bien era cerrada. 40 Una niña de nueve años a ojo se paraba.	Within they nought in answer would return, Up spurred My Cid, before the portal came His foot from stirrup drew, a blow thereon. Nor yields the door, for well it was secured. A little maid of nine appeared in sight:

¡Ya Campeador, en buen hora ççinxiestes espada! El rey lo ha vedado, anoche d′′el entro su carta, Con gran recaudo e fuertemientre sellada No vos osariemos abrir ni coger por nada; Si no, perderiemos los haberes y las casas {N-45} Y demas los ojos de las caras. Çid, en el nuestro mal vos no ganades nada, Mas el criador vos vala con todas sus vertudes santas. Esto la niña dixo & tornose pora su casa.

"Now, Campeador, in hour propitious thou Hast girded sword. The kind forbade; this night His mandate entered, circumspectly borne And firmly sealed. To open dare we not; Nor yet, for aught, reception grant you, lest Our wealth we lose, and homes  and eyes beside. By our misfortune, Cid, you nothing gain. Creator guard with holy virtues all." Thus spake the child and turned her toward her house.

50 Ya lo ve el Çid que del Rey no habia gracia. Partiose de la puerta, por Burgos aguijaba, Llego a santa Maria, luego descabalga, Finco los hinojos, de corazon rogaba; La oracion fecha, luego cabalgaba. 55Salio por la puerta & en arlanzon posaba	The Cid perceives the royal favor lost left the door, through Burgos onward spurred: Santa Maria gained; dismounting then he knelt and offered prayer in heartfelt guise. The prayer accomplished, mounted once again, The portal passed and camped by Arlanzon:

Cabo esa villa en la glera posaba Fincaba la tienda & luego descabalgaba Mio Çid Ruy Diaz el que en buen hora cinxo espada Poso en la glera cuando no le coge nadi en casa 60 Derredor de el una buena compaña	That town beside, within the strand, encamped. He fired the tent, dismounted thereupon. My Cid Ruy Diaz, he who girded sword In hour propitious, when, within their homes, Not any welcomed, camped upon the strand; Around about him goodly company.

Asi poso mio Çid como si fuese en montaña Vedada le han compra dentro en Burgos la casa De todas cosas cuantas son de vianda No le osarien vender al menos dinarada 65 Martin Antolinez el burgales cumplido	As though amid the wilds My Cid encamped. It was forbid that any food soe′er He buy within the walls of Burgos town. The least money′s worth they dare not sell. That all accomplished Martin Antolinez, The man of Burgos, did supply My Cid

A mio Çid & a los suyos abastales de pan & de vino No lo compra ca el selo habie consigo De todo conducho bien los hobo bastidos Pagose mio Çid el Campeador & todos los otros que van a su servicio 70 Hablo Martin Antolinez odredes lo que ha dicho	And all his followers with bread and wine; At hand he had it, nought he buys of it. With all provisions well he furnished them. Contented was My Cid the Campeador, And all the rest who service render him. Spake Martin Antolinez; bear his words:

Ya Campeador en buen hora fuestes nacido Esta noche yagamos & vayamosnos al matino Ca acusado sere de lo que vos he servido En ira del Rey Alfonso yo sere metido 75 Si convusco escapo sano o vivo	"How, Campeador, in hour propitious born, This night we pass, with morn departing hence, For shall I stand accused of serving you; Beneath the king Alfonso′s anger fall. If I alive and well escape with you,

Aun cerca o tarde el Rey quererme ha por amigo Si no cuanto dexo no lo precio un figo Hablo mio Çid el que en buen hora cinxo espada Martin Antolinez sodes ardida lanza 80 Si yo vivo doblarvos he la soldada	The king my friendship soon or late will seek. If not, what′s left I value not a fig." My Cid, who sword in hour propitious girt, Outspake:"Thou, Martin Antolinez, art A valiant lance. An I survive, your pay

Espeso he el oro & toda la plata Bien lo vedes que yo no trayo haber & huebos me serie Pora toda mi compaña Fer lo he amidos de grado no habrie nada 85 Con vuestro consejo bastir quiero dos arcas	I′ll double. Gold and silver all is spent; Thou seest clearly money have I none, And yet for all my men ′twere needed sore. I must by force, for nought were freely mine. With your assistance would I fain construct

Hincamoslas de arena ca bien seran pesadas Cubiertas de guadalmeci e bien enclaveadas Los guadalmecis bermejos & los clavos bien dorados Por rachel & vidas vayadesme privado 90 Cuando en Burgos me vedaron compra & el Rey me a airado	Two chests, with sand we′ll fit to give them weight, With leather bound, and firmly held with nails; The leather red, and gilded well the nails. Rachel and Vidas seek me out in haste: In Burgos purchase was forbidden me;

No puedo traer el haber ca mucho es pesado Empeñargelo he por lo que fuere guisado De noche lo lleven que no lo vean cristianos Vealo el criador con todos los sus santos 95 Yo mas no puedo & amidos lo fago Martin Antolinez no lo detarba Por rachel & vidas apriesa demandaba Paso por Burgos al castiello entraba Por rachel & vidas apriesa demandaba 100 rachel & vidas en uno estaban amos

The king, moreover, is displeased with me. The wealth I cannot take, for great its weight, And needs in pledge for fitting sum must leave. That Christians see not, let them take by night; Creator view the thing with all his saints! I can no more, and this unwillingly." Brooks Martin Antolinez no delay; Rachel and Vidas sought in eager haste. Through Burgos rode, within the castle passed. Rachel and Vidas sought in eager haste. Rachel and Vidas were together found,

En cuenta de sus haberes de los que habien ganados Llego Martin Antolinez a guisa de menbrado O sodes rachel & vidas los mios amigos caros En poridad hablar querria con amos 105 No lo detardan todos 3 se apartaron	Rachel and Vidas were together found, Their moneys counting, profits gained by them. With shrewdness Martin Antolinez came "Rachel and Vidas, friends beloved of mine, Where are ye? Both in secret speech I seek." Delay they not; the three apart withdrew:

rachel & vidas amos me dad las manos que no me descubrades a moros ni a cristianos Por siempre vos fare ricos que no seades menguados El Campeador por las parias fue entrado 110 Grandes haberes priso & muchos sobejanos	"Rachel and Vidas, give me, both, your hands That not to Moor or Christian ye betray. I will enrich, that want ye never know. The Campeador for tribute made a march; The gains he took were rich and plentiful.

retovo dellos cuanto que fue algo Por ende vino a aquesto por que fue acusado Tiene dos arcas llenas de oro esmerado Ya lo vedes que el Rey le ha airado 115 dexado ha heredades & casas & palacios	Of this a goodly part he hath retained, And thence his accusation came to him. The king, ye know perceive is wroth with him. The palace, house and heritage hath left. Two coffers filled with purest gold are his.

Aquellas no las puede llevar sino serien ventadas El Campeador dexarlas ha en vuestra mano E prestalde de haber lo que sea guisado Prended las arcas & metedlas en vuestro salvo 120 Con grande jura meted y las fes amos	These, undiscovered, may he not remove; The Campeador within your hands would leave. Thereon advance him just equivalent. Receive the chests; within your safeguard place. Set both thereon your faith with mighty oath

que no las catedes en todo aqueste año rachel & vidas seiense consejando Nos huebos habemos en todo de ganar algo Bien lo sabemos que el algo gano 125 Cuando a tierra de moros entro que gran haber saco	Ye will not look upon them all this year." Rachel and Vidas counsel took of each: "Some profit needs we must in all retain. Full well we know a goodly sum he gained, A fortune great in Moorish lands acquired.

No duerme sin sospecha qui haber trae monedado Estas arcas prendamoslas amas En logar las metamos que no sean ventadas Mas decid nos del Çid de que sera pagado 130 O que ganancia nos dara por todo aqueste año	Who holdeth coin, distrust attends his sleep. These coffers let us take and hide them both Where may they lie from all discovery safe. But let us bear what sum will please the Cid, What profit will be grant for all this year?"

respuso Martin Antolinez a guisa de membrado Mio Çid querra lo que sea aguisado Pedir vos ha poco por dexar su haber en salvo Acogensele homnes de todas partes menguados 135 Ha menester 600 marcos	With shrewdness Martin Antolinez spake: "My Cid were satisfied with what were just; To leave his wealth in safety little asks. They seek him, men from every side in want. Sir hundred marks were needful unto him."

dixo rachel & vidas dargelos de grado Ya vedes que entra la noche el Çid es presurado Huebos habemos que nos dedes los marcos dixo rachel & vidas no se faze asi el mercado 140 Si no primero prendiendo & despues dando	Rachel and Vidas said:"We gladly grant it." The other:"Look night comes, the Cid is pressed; And great our need that ye bestow the marks." Rachel and Vidas said:"Not so is trade, But taking first, then giving.""That to me

dixo Martin Antolinez yo deso me pago Amos todos traed al Campeador contado E nos vos ayudaremos que asi es aguisado Por aducir las arcas & meter las en vuestro salvo 145 que no lo sepan moros ni cristianos	Is pleasing," Martin Antolinez said. "We three the Campeador renowned will seek. To you we′ll lend assistance-such is just- To take and place within your guard the chests, That Moor or Christian never know of it."

dixo rachel & vidas nos desto nos pagamos Las arcas aduchas prended 600 marcos Martin Antolinez cabalgo privado Con rachel & vidas de voluntad & de grado 150 No viene a la puente ca por el agua ha pasado	Rachel and Vidas said:"This pleases us; The coffers brought, be thine sir hundred marks." Then Martin Antolinez mounted swift; Rachel and Vidas joined, content and pleased; Nor bridge he sought, for through the stream he passed,

que gelo no ventansen de Burgos homne nado Afevoslos a la tienda del Campeador contado Asi como entraron al Çid besaron le las manos Sonrisose mio Çid estabalos hablando 155 Ya don rachel & vidas habedes me olvidado	That none of Burgos born discover him. Before the tent of Campeador renowned, Behold they stand, and when they passed within, And came before the Cid, they kissed his hands. Then smiled My Cid, and thus he spake to them: "Rachel and Vidas, Sirs, you do forget me!

Ya me exco de tierra ca del Rey soy airado A lo que me semeja de lo mio habredes algo Mientra que vivades no seredes menguados Don rachel & vidas a mio Çid besaronle las manos 160 Martin Antolinez el pleito ha parado	I leave the land, for wroth the king with me. Of mine it seemeth something ye have: Through life ye ne′er shall want." Then on his hands Sir Rachel and Sir Vidas kissed My Cid. Then Martin Antolinez stopped the talk:

que sobre aquellas arcas darle ien 600 marcos E bien gelas guardarien fasta cabo del año Ca asi le dieran la fe & gelo habien jurado que si antes las catasen que fuesen perjurados 165 No les diese mio Çid de la ganancia un dinero malo	Sir hundred marks they′d give upon these chests, And guard them well until the year were done, For thus they faith engaged and swore to him, That is they looked before they′d perjured be; My Cid a sorry coin of gain would grant.

dixo Martin Antolinez carguenlas arcas privado Llevaldas rachel & vidas ponedlas en vuestro salvo Yo ire convusco que adugamos los marcos Ca a mover ha mio Çid ante que cante el gallo 170 Al cargar de las arcas veriedes gozo tanto	Said Martin Antolinez:"Take in haste The chests, Rachel and Vidas, bear them off; Bestow within your safeguard. I with you will go that hither may be bring the marks; For must My Cid depart ere crows the cock." You had beheld contentment when they strove

No las podien poner en somo maguer eran esforzados Gradanse rachel & vidas con haberes monedados Ca mientra que visquiesen refechos eran amos rachel a mio Çid la mano le va besar 175 Ya Campeador en buen hora cinxiestes espada	To move the chests; though strong, they could not bear. Rachel and Vidas each to each rejoice Upon wealth of coin, for while they lived Were both in fortune made. Then Rachel sought My Cid, to kiss his hand:"Now, Campeador, On hour propitious hast thou girded sword;

De castiella vos ides pora las gentes estrañas Asi es vuestra ventura grandes son vuestras ganancias una piel bermeja morisca & honrada Çid beso vuestra mano en don que la yo haya 180 plazeme dixo el Çid de aqui sea mandada	to seek the stranger folk you leave Castile, Your fortune such that profits great are yours. A present grant me, Cid - I kiss you hand - A skin of Moorish leather fair and red." The Cid replied:"′Tis pleasing unto me;

Si vos la aduxier de alla si no contalda sobre las arcas En medio del palacio tendieron un almofalla Sobre ella una sabana de ranzal & muy blanca a todo el primer colpe 300 marcos de plata echaron 185 Notolos don martino sin peso los tomaba	I grant it here and will I bring it to you, Or else its value take upon the chests." A carpet spread they `mid the palace then; Thereon a sheet of linen fair and white. Three hundred silver marks at very first They tossed. Don Martin took and counted them,

Los otros 300 en oro gelos pagaban Cinco escuderos tiene don martino a todos los cargaba Cuando esto hobo fecho odredes lo que hablaba a don rachel & vidas en vuestras manos son las arcas 190 Yo que esto vos gane bien merecia calzas	Nor weighed. The other three they paid in gold. Don Martin five esquires had brought with him; he burdened all. This done, attend his words: "Rachel and Vidas, Sirs, the chests are yorus; I surely merit those who this procured."

Entre rachel & vidas aparte ixieron amos Demosle buen don ca el nos lo ha buscado Martin Antolinez un burgales contado Vos lo merecedes darvos queremos buen dado 195 De que fagades calzas & rica piel & buen manto	Rachel and Vidas both aside withdrew: "he brought it; let us give him good reward. Famed Martin Antolinez, Burgales, We would bestow your due and fair reward: We give you thirty marks wherewith to make

Damosvos en don a vos 30 marcos Merecernoslos hedes ca esto es aguisado Atorgarnos hedes esto que habemos parado Gradeciolo don martino & recibio los marcos 200 Grado exir de la posada & espidiose de amos	A handsome skin, a mantle fair and hose. You will with justice earn our gratitude, And see accomplished what we had agreed." Don Martin gave his thanks and took the marks; he deemed it good to leave the place, and bade

Exido es de Burgos & arlanzon ha pasado Vino pora la tienda del que en buen hora nasco recibiolo el Çid abiertos amos los brazos Venides Martin Antolinez el mio fiel vasallo 205 Aun vea el dia que de mi hayades algo	Farewell to both. He hath form Burgos gone, And passed the Arlanzon and gained the tent Of him whose birth on hour propitious fell. The Cid with open arms his welcome gave: "My vassal Martin Antolinez true, Approach, and may I soon behold the day

Vengo Campeador con todo buen recaudo Vos 600 & yo 30 he ganados Mandad coger la tienda & vayamos privado En san Pero de cardena y nos cante el gallo 210 Veremos vuestra mugier membrada fija de algo	Wherein a recompense you gain from me." "With happy tidings, Campeador, I come: Sir hundred you and thirty I have gained. Command to strike the tent, depart we soon. Saint Peter of Cardena′s walls within, Attend the crowing cock, and there behold

Mesuraremos la posada & quitaremos el reinado Mucho es huebos ca cerca viene el plazo Estas palabras dichas la tienda es cogida Mio Çid & sus compañas cabalgan tan aina 215 La cara del caballo torno a santa Maria	Your wife, the noble woman known to all. We′ll tarry little, straight the kingdom leave. `Tis needful; few the hours of grace become." These words addressed, they gather up the tent; My Cid and his companion mount in haste. He wheeled his horse to face Saint Mary′s church,

Alzo su mano diestra la cara se santigua A ti lo gradesco dios que cielo & tierra guias Valanme tus vertudes gloriosa santa maria Daqui quito castiella pues que el Rey he en ira 220 No se si entrare y mas en todos los mios dias	Right hand upraised and made the sign of cross Upon his visage:"God, who art supreme In earth and heaven, thanks I render Thee. Saint Mary glorious, be Thy grace mine aid. The kings; displeasure gained, I leave Castille, Nor know if all my days I shall return.

Vuestra vertud me vala gloriosa en my exida & me ayude Ella me acorra de noche & de dia Si vos asi lo fizieredes & la ventura me fuere cumplida Mando al vuestro altar buenas donas & ricas 225 Esto he yo en deudo que faga y cantar 1000 misas	May virtues Thine avail me, Glorious One, On this, my setting forth, and bring me aid, And bear me succor both by night and day! If so Thou dost and fortune favor me, I send Thine altar presents rich and fair, And pledge to have a thousand masses sung."

Espidiose el caboso de cuer & de voluntad Sueltan las riendas & piensan de aguijar dixo Martin Antolinez vere a la mugier a todo mio solaz Castigarlos he como habran a far 230 Si el Rey melo quisiere tomar a mi no me incale	Glad leave and earnest took the worthy man. They loose the reins and think to spur ahead. Cried Martin Antolinez:"I shall see My wife, in all my solace; needs must I Instruction give them how they will proceed, Nor care can′t please the king to seize my lands.

Antes sere convusco que el sol quiera rayar Tornabase Martin Antolinez a Burgos & mio Çid a aguijar Pora san Pero de cardena cuanto pudo a espolear Con estos caballeros que le sirven a su sabor 235 Apriesa cantan los gallos & quieren quebrar albores	I shall have joined you ere the sun arise." To Burgos Martin Antolinez turned, And swiftly towards Saint Peter of Cardena My Cid and gentleman who serve him spurred. Soon crow the cocks, the dawn begins to break;

Cuando llego a san Pero el buen Campeador El Abad don sancho cristiano del criador rezaba los matines a vuelta de los albores Y estaba doña ximena con cinco dueñas de pro 240 rogando a san Pero & al criador	And when the worthy Campeador attained Saint Peter′s, saw he Abbott Sancho stand, God; Christian, chanting matins for return Of dawn; and Dame Ximena too was there, With noble ladies five attending her; Creator and Saint Peter they besought:

Tu que a todos guias vala mio Çid el Campeador Llamaban a la puerta y sopieron el mandado Dios que alegre fue el Abad don Sancho Con lumbres & con candelas al corral dieron salto 245 Con tan gran gozo le reciben al que en buen hora nasco	"Guard, Guide of All, my Cid the Campeador." They called without, and these the accents knew. Ah, God! how joyful Abbot Sancho was! With lights and candles swiftly did they seek The outer court. They hail with joy supreme The one upon an hour propitious born.

Gradescolo a Dios mio Çid dixo el Abad don sancho Pues que aqui vos veo prende de mi hospedado Dixo el Çid gracias don Abad & soy vuestro pagado Yo adobare conducho pora mi & pora mis vasallos 250 Mas por que me voy de tierra dovos 50 marcos	"Thank God! My Cid," the Abbot Sancho said; "Since here I see you, take my hospitage." The Cid replied:"Sir Abbot, thanks′ I stand Your debtor; food I′ll self and vassals find. But since I leave the land I do bestow Upon you fifty marks, and if I live

Si yo algun dia visquier servos han doblados No quiero fazer en el monesterio un dinero de daño Evades aqui pora doña ximena dovos 100 marcos A ella & a sus fijas & a sus dueñas sirvadeslas este año 255 Dos fijas dexo niñas & prendedlas en los brazos	Shall that amount be doubles unto you. I′d not within the monastery cause Ertent of one dinero′s injury. And look, to Dame Ximena I devote An hundred marks: her daughters, ladies, self, This years attend. I leave my daughters both; They are but children: take within your arms.

Aquellas vos acomiendo a vos Abad don sancho Dellas & de mi mugier fagades todo recaudo Si esa despensa vos falleciere o vos menguare algo Bien las abastad yo asi vos lo mando 260 Por 1 marco que despendades al monesterio dare yo 4	I place them, Abbot Sancho, `neath your guard. Bestow upon them, as upon my wife, The greatest care; if that provision fail, Or aught you lack, supply them well I bid. For every mark that be expended so I will return the monastery

Otorgadogelo habie el Abad de grado Afevos doña ximena con sus fijas do va llegando Señas dueñas las traen & aducenlas adelante Ante el Campeador doña ximena finco los hinojos amos 265 lloraba de los ojos quiso le besar las manos	Thereto consent the Abbot gladly gave. Behold! her daughters Dame Ximena brings; A lady each conducts and forward leads. Ximena fell upon her knees and wept Before the Campeador, his hands would kiss:

Merced Campeador en hora buena fuestes nado Por malos mestureros de tierra sodes echado Merced ya Çid barba tan cumplida Feme ante vos yo & vuestras fijas infantes son & de dias chicas 270 Con aquestas mis dueñas de quien soy yo servida	"Grace, Campeador, in hour propitious born, By wicked meddlers forced to leave the land, Grace, Cid, thou faultless Beard! Behold me stand, Your daughters too, before you, children young, And these, my dames who service render me.

Yo lo veo que estades vos en ida E nos de vos partirnos hemos en vida Dadnos consejo por amor de santa maria Enclino las manos en la su barba bellida 275 A las sus fijas en brazo las prendia	I see thou art to hour of parting come; And needs we must, though living, separate. For love you bear Saint Mary, guidance give." Upon his noble beard his hand he placed, his daughters clasped within his arms and pressed

Llegolas al corazon ca mucho las queria llora de los ojos tan fuerte mientre sospira Ya doña ximena la mi mugier tan cumplida Como a la mi alma yo tanto vos queria 280 Ya lo vedes que partirnos hemos en vida	Against his heart, for great his love for them. The tears his eyes o′erflowed, he deeply sighed; "Ximena, oh, thou perfect wife of mine! As I do love my soul so love I thee. Thou seest, living, must we separate,

Yo ire & vos fincaredes remanida Plega a Dios & a santa maria que aun con mis manos case estas mis fijas O quede ventura & algunos dias vida E vos mugier honrada de mi seades servida 285 Grande yantar le fazen al buen Campeador	I shall depart and you remain behind. God and Saint Mary grant that yet my hands These daughters mine in marriage may bestow, And grant me fortune fair and length of days, And you, my honored wife, my care received!" Before the Campeador a great repast

Tañen las campañas en san Pero a clamor Por castiella oyendo van los pregones Como se va de tierra mio Çid el Campeador unos dexan casas & otros honores 290 En aquese dia a la puente de arlanzon	They set. Saint Peter′s bells with clamor sound. Throughout Castle the herald′s voice is heard. how leaves the land My Cid the Campeador. Abandon some their dwellings, some estates. Upon that day at bridge of Arlanzon

115 caballeros todos juntados son Todos demandan por mio Çid el Campeador Martin Antolinez con ellos cogio Vanse pora san Pero do esta el que en buen punto nacio 295 Cuando lo sopo mio Çid el de Vivar	There met an hundred horsemen and fifteen. They all demand My Cid the Campeador, And Martin Antolinez went with them. They seek Saint Peter′s, where was found the man Whose birth upon a time propitious fell. My Cid, be of Bivar, when `ware of it,

que le crece compaña porque mas valdra Apriesa cabalga recibirlos salie Tornose a sonrisar lleganle todos la mano le van besar Hablo mio Çid de toda voluntad 300 Yo ruego a Dios & al padre espirital	That grows his force whereby his power shall grow, Swift mounting, sallied forth to welcome them. Upon his face a smile; they all approach And seek to kiss his hand. Right willingly Outspake My Cid:"Who left your homes for me

Vos que por mi dexades casas & heredades En antes que yo muera algun bien vos pueda far Lo que perdedes doblado vos lo cobrar Plogo a mio Çid porque crecio en la yantar 305 Plogo a los otros homnes todos cuantos con el estan	And heritages, ere I die, of God And Spiritual father I entreat That may I some good service render you, And twofold reparation make to you For all your losses." Now it please My Cid Wherein that added force his strength increased, And all the others there rejoiced of it.

Los 6 dias de plazo pasados los han 3 han por trocir sepades que no mas Mando el Rey a mio Çid a aguardar Que si despues del plazo en su tierra le pudiese tomar 310 Por oro ni por plata no podrie escapar	Sir days of grace have gone, and there remain But three to pass, and, know ye, none beyond. And bade the king My Cid to bear in mind That, passed, the days of grace, an he be ta′en On royal lands, would gold nor silver save.

El dia es exido & la noche querie entrar A sus caballeros mandolos todos juntar Oid varones no vos caya en pesar Poco haber trayo darvos quiero vuestra parte 315 Sed membrados como lo debedes far	The day is done, the night begins to fall. he bade his followers in council join: "Now bear me, men, nor sadness weigh your hearts; Small wealth I bear, I wish to share with you. Be circumspect, as `twere your need to be:

A la mañana cuando los gallos cantaran No vos tardedes mandedes ensillar En san Pero a matines tandra el buen Abad La misa nos dira esta sera de santa trinidad 320 La misa dicha pensemos de cabalgar	Upon morning, when the cocks shall crow, Make no delay, but saddled see your steeds. The worthy Abbot will the matins sounds Within Saint Peter′s; mass he will recite, And that shall be of Holy Trinity. The mass repeated, let us think to mount,

Ca el plazo viene a cerca mucho habemos de andar Como lo mando mio Çid asi lo han todos a far Pasando va la noche viniendo la man A los mediados gallos piensan de cabalgar 325 Tañen a matines a una priesa tan grande	For cometh unto end the time of grace, And far we have to go." As bade My Cid So all perform. The night departed, came The morn. At crow of cock they think to mount. In eager haste they sound the matin bells.

Mio Çid & su mugier a la eglesia van Echose doña ximena en los grados delante el altar rogando al criador cuanto ella mejor sabe Que a mio Çid el Campeador que dios le curiase de mal 330 Ya señor glorioso padre que en cielo estas	To seek the church My Cid his wife attends. Upon the steps before the altar fell The Dame Ximena, praying unto him Who hath created all, as best she knew; That God protect My Cid the Campeador From evil:"Lord of Glory, Father, Thou

feziste cielo & tierra el tercero el mar feziste estrellas & luna & el sol pora escalentar Prisiste encarnacion en santa maria madre En belen apareciste como fue tu voluntad 335 Pastores te glorificaron hobieronte a laudar	On high, who has created heavens and earth And third the sea, stars, moon, and sun that warms, In holy Mother incarnation took, In Bethlehem appeared as was Thy will. The shepherds glorified and gave Thee praise. There came in adoration seeking Thee

Tres reyes de arabia te vinieron adorar Melchor & gaspar & baltasar oro & tus & mirra Te ofrecieron como fue tu voluntad salveste A jonas cuando cayo en la mar 340 Salveste a daniel con los leones en la mala carcel	Three kinds of far Arabia, Melchior, Balthasar, Gaspar, bringing unto Thee Of gold and frankincense and myrrh, for so Thy wish. Then Jonah fell amid the sea, Didst rescue; Saint Sebastian in Rome, And Daniel in the evil lions′ den,

My Cid, in hour propitious born, bethought That news would reach the king Alfonso′s ears Of his campaigns; that would he seek to do An evil unto him with all his force, he bade division make of all that gain,

Ye are all Content, and none remain to satisfy. At early dawn bethink to mount our steeds. I seek no strife against my lord Alfonso." What spake My Cid contented all the rest.

Adown Jalon he marched, his banner raised. They wore cuirasses, girded were their swords. he shrewdly marched to tempt to ambuscade. The men of Alcocer beheld the thing. God! how they did among themselves rejoice!

Fallido ha a mio Çid el pan & la cebada Las otras abes lleva una tienda ha dexada De guisa va mio Çid como si escapase de arrancada Demos salto a el & feremos gran ganancia 585 Antes que le prendan los de terrer si no no nos daran den nada	"My Cid of bread and forage stands in need; he left a tent, be scarce the rest could bear My Cid departs as though from rout he fled. Now let us fall upon him, great our spoil, Ere those of Tereul shall capture him, For else they will not give us aught of it

La paria que el ha presa tornarnosla ha doblada Salieron de alcocer a una priesa mucho estraña Mio Çid cuando los vio fuera cogiose como de arrancada Cogiose salon ayuso con los sus a vuelta nadi 590 Dicen los de alcocer ya se nos va la ganancia	The tribute taken shall be twice return." With strangest haste they rushed from Alcocer. And when My Cid perceived they were without, he fled as though form rout and turned him down Jalon, now any came against his force. Cried those of Alcocer: "Our spoil escape!"

The banner bade he turn. In haste they spur′d. "Now surely strike them, knights!" By grace of the Creator, ours the spoil." They turned across the plain at midst with them. Ah God, that morn how great the joy! Ahead

Be sure Their steeds are good, and to their guise they go. Thereon, between the castle came and them. My Cid′s attendants struck, nor mercy gave. In little o′er an hour of time they killed

Dando grandes alaridos los que estan en la celada Dexando vanlos delante por el castiello se tornaban Las espadas desnudas a la puerta se paraban Luego llegaban los sus ca fecha es el arrancada 610 Mio Çid gano a alcocer sabed por esta maña	Three hundred Moors, while those who were within The ambuscade began to cry aloud. They see the castle, leaving those ahead, With naked swords, before the portal stopped. Full soon their men arrived, the rout is done. And know, My Cid hath Alcocer obtained

Pero Vermudez came; he bore in hand the banner, raised it high All else above. My Cid Ruy Diaz spake, Who was upon an hour propitious born: "Be thanks to God of heaven and all his saints! Now horse and man shall better lodgment gain.

Oid a mi Alvar Fañez & todos los caballeros En este castiello grande haber habemos preso Los moros yacen muertos de vivos pocos veo Los moros & las moras vender no los podremos 620 Que los descabecemos nada no ganaremos	Attend me, Albarfanez; all the knights, Attend. The wealth we gained is very great Within this castle. Dead the Moors are stretched; Of living few I see. We may not sell The Moors, or men or women, now would aught Be ours of gain and we beheaded them.

Cojamoslos de dentro ca el señorio tenemos Posaremos en sus casas & dellos nos serviremos Mio Çid con esta ganancia en alcocer esta Fizo enviar por la tienda que dexara alla 625 Mucho pesa a los de teca & a los de teruel no plaze	Shut them within, for we are masters here; Command their service, in their houses dwell." This booty held in Alcocer My Cid; he sent to bring the tent they left behind. Most heavy grief Ateca′s folk oppressed, And those of Tereul joyed not of it,

E a los de calatayud no plaze Al Rey de Valencia enviaron con mensaje Que a uno que dicien mio Çid Ruy Diaz de Vivar Airolo el Rey Alfonso de tierra echado lo ha 630 Vino posar sobre alcocer en un tan fuerte logar	Nor those within Calatayud were pleased. A message to Valencia′s king they sent: "One called My Cid Ruy Diaz of Bivar - The king Alfonso hates and eriled him - he camped within a place a greatest strength O′er Alcocer, and drew the people forth

Ye shall Ateca lose and Tereul, An ye supply no aid; and shall ye lose Calatayud, which never may escape; Beside Jalon shall all to evil go; And such befall Jiloca′s land, which lies Upon the other hand." When this he heard

There mount three thousand Moors and think to march; That night Segorbe gained to make their camp. On other day at morn bethink to ride.

They mind to send and seek the border folk. Delay they not, but come form every hand. They leave the town called Celfa of Canal; Throughout the day′s ertent, nor resting, marched.

These forced grow, For many are the folk. In arms are clad By night and day the guards the Moors have set. These guards are many, very great the host; Already they deprive of water those

The force My Cid commands Would seek the fight, but firmly that forbade The one upon an hour propitious born. Three weeks in full they held the place besieged. Now three weeks having passed, the fourth at hand,

If Moors we fight not, bread they′ll give us none. Sir hundred full are we and some beyond. In name of the Creator, may it ne′er
