They have consulted the Books of Fate; they have implored a sign from the Pro- phet; and they find that the glory has left thy people and thy crown.
The fall of Granada is predestined — God is great ! * • Ton shall have my answer forth- with," said Boabdil. "Abdelemic, approach." From the crowd came an aged and white-bearded m...an, the governor of the city.
" Speak, old man," said the king.
"Oh, Boabdil !" said the veteran, with faltering tones, while the tears rolled down his cheeks; "son of a race of kings and heroes ! would that thy servant had fallen dead on thy threshold this day, and that the lips of a Moorish noble had never been polluted by the words that I now utter. Our state is hopeless: our granaries are as the sands of the desert ; there is in them life neither for beast nor man. The war- horse that bore the hero is now consumed for his food; and the population of thy city, with one voice, cry for chains and— bread !
