Not a lad in Saragossa	A
Nobler featured haughtier tempered	B
Than the Alcalde's youthful grandson	C
Donna Clara's boy Pedrillo	D
	-
Handsome as the Prince of Evil	D
And devout as St Ignatius	A
Deft at fence unmatched with zither	E
Miniature of knightly virtues	A
	-
Truly an unfailing blessing	F
To his pious widowed mother	E
To the beautiful lone matron	C
Who forswore the world to rear him	G
	-
For her beauty hath but ripened	H
In such wise as the pomegranate	I
Putteth by her crown of blossoms	A
For her richer crown of fruitage	J
	-
Still her hand is claimed and courted	K
Still she spurns her proudest suitors	A
Doting on a phantom passion	C
And upon her boy Pedrillo	D
	-
Like a saint lives Donna Clara	L
First at matins last at vespers	A
Half her fortune she expendeth	M
Buying masses for the needy	N
	-
Visiting the poor afflicted	O
Infinite is her compassion	C
Scorning not the Moorish beggar	E
Nor the wretched Jew despising	F
	-
And a scandal to the faithful	D
E'en she hath been known to welcome	P
To her castle the young Rabbi	Q
Offering to his tribe her bounty	N
	-
Rarely hath he crossed the threshold	R
Yet the thought that he hath crossed it	S
Burns like poison in the marrow	T
Of the zealous youth Pedrillo	D
	-
By the blessed Saint Iago	T
He hath vowed immortal hatred	O
To these circumcised intruders	A
Who pollute the soil of Spaniards	A
	-
Seated in his mother's garden	C
At high noon the boy Pedrillo	D
Playeth with his favorite parrot	I
Golden green with streaks of scarlet	I
	-
Pretty Dodo speak thy lesson	C
Coaxed Pedrillo thief and traitor	E
Thief and traitor croaked the parrot	I
Is the yellow skirted Rabbi	Q
	-
And the boy with peals of laughter	E
Stroked his favorite's head of emerald	U
Raised his eyes and lo before him	G
Stood the yellow skirted Rabbi	Q
	-
In his dark eyes gleamed no anger	E
No hot flush o'erspread his features	A
'Neath his beard his pale lips quivered	U
And a shadow crossed his forehead	U
	-
Very gentle was his aspect	U
And his voice was mild and friendly	D
Evil words my son thou speakest	U
Teaching to the fowls of heaven	C
	-
In our Talmud it stands written	C
Thrice curst is the tongue of slander	E
Poisoning also with its victim	P
Him who speaks and him who listens	A
	-
But no whit abashed Pedrillo	D
What care I for curse of Talmud	U
'T is no slander to speak evil	D
Of the murderers of our Saviour	E
	-
To your beard I will repeat it	U
That I only bide my manhood	U
To wreak all my lawful hatred	U
On thyself and on thy people	D
	-
Very gently spoke the Rabbi	Q
Have a care my son Pedrillo	D
Thou art orphaned and who knoweth	M
But thy father loved this people	D
	-
Think you words like these will touch me	D
Such I laugh to scorn sir Rabbi	Q
From high heaven my sainted father	E
On my deeds will smile in blessing	F
	-
Loyal knight was he and noble	D
And my mother oft assures me	D
Ne'er she saw so pure a Christian	C
'T is from him my zeal deriveth	M
	-
What if he were such another	E
As myself who stand before thee	M
I should curse the hour that bore me	M
I should die of shame and horror	E
	-
Harsher is thy creed than ours	A
For had I a son as comely	M
As Pedrillo I would love him	G
Love him were he thrice a Christian	C
	-
In his youth my youth renewing	F
Pamper fondle die to serve him	G
Only breathing through his spirit	U
Couldst thou not love such a father	E
	-
Faltering spoke the deep voiced Rabbi	Q
With white lips and twitching fingers	A
Then in clear young steady treble	D
Answered him the boy Pedrillo	D
	-
At the thought my heart revolteth	M
All your tribe offend my senses	A
They're an eyesore to my vision	C
And a stench unto my nostrils	A
	-
When I meet these unbelievers	A
With thick lips and eagle noses	A
Thus I scorn them thus revile them	V
Thus I spit upon their garment	U
	-
And the haughty youth passed onward	U
Bearing on his wrist his parrot	U
And the yellow skirted Rabbi	Q
With bowed head sought Donna Clara	E
