| Back | In this other squadron there come those that drink of the crystal streams of the olive-bearing Betis, those that make smooth their countenances with the water of the ever rich and golden Tagus, those that rejoice in the fertilising flow of the divine Genil, those that roam the Tartesian plains abounding in pasture, those that take their pleasure in the Elysian meadows of Jerez, the rich Manchegans crowned with ruddy ears of corn, the wearers of iron, old relics of the Gothic race, those that bathe in the Pisuerga renowned for its gentle current, those that feed their herds along the spreading pastures of the winding Guadiana famed for its hidden course, those that tremble with the cold of the pineclad Pyrenees or the dazzling snows of the lofty Apennine; in a word, as many as all Europe includes and contains." |

| Front | En estotro escuadrón vienen los que beben las corrientes cristalinas del olivífero Betis; los que tersan y pulen sus rostros con el licor del siempre rico y dorado Tajo; los que gozan las provechosas aguas del divino Genil; los que pisan los tartesios campos, de pastos abundantes; los que se alegran en los elíseos jerezanos prados; los manchegos, ricos y coronados de rubias espigas; los de hierro vestidos, reliquias antiguas de la sangre goda; los que en Pisuerga se bañan, famoso por la mansedumbre de su corriente; los que su ganado apacientan en las estendidas dehesas del tortuoso Guadiana, celebrado por su escondido curso; los que tiemblan con el frío del silvoso Pirineo y con los blancos copos del levantado Apenino; finalmente, cuantos toda la Europa en sí contiene y encierra. |
