Ah ! though each fought right gloriously, Like true-born cavalier. In vain! the Moor did win the day, At Alcazarkabier !
But how, in that unhappy hour, Sped he the foremost man ? How fell, among the fallen brave, The king Sebastian?
They saw him in a ring of knights, Who fell down one by one, And then, 'gainst sixty thousand Moors, Still dauntless stand alone.
At last, all cover 'd o'er with wounds, With upraised vizor, there They saw him fall down in the fight Of Alcazarkabier !
His corpse the...y saw, and recognised In dwelling of a Jew; For there the king of Portugal His latest life-breath drew.
32 But still, in every age, the tale Is told from mouth to mouth, That king Sebastian ne'er died Far in the burning South ; That king Sebastian still lives, And soon shall come again, Deliverer, and conqueror, In Portugal to reign.
For when the Spaniard rules the land, Or when his rule is gone, Or when an emperor gives way To Miguel's raging throne ; The self same words are whisper'd still, And die not, through all pain, Through scorn, through Inquisition's flames Sebastian comes again !" Can thus a people's loyalty Its bigotry become ; To all opposing reason blind, And to all doubtings dumb ?
