Note 74 — Chapter IV · THE ROMANCERO
Reading edition
The original of The Bull-fight of Gazul is Durán, No. 45:—
Estando toda la corte de Almanzor, rey de Granada.
It appears first in the Romancero general: so also does the original of The Zegri’s Bride, Durán, No. 188.
Lisaro que fue en Granada cabeza de los Cegríes.
The Bridal of Andalla represents Durán, No. 128:—
Ponte á las rejas azules, deja la manga que labras.
The verses entitled Zara’s Earrings are altogether out of place in this section. The orientalism is Lockhart’s own; there is no mention of ‘Zara,’ ‘Muça,’ ‘Granada,’ ‘Albuharez’ daughter,’ and ‘Tunis’ in the original, which will be found in Durán, No. 1803.
¡La niña morena, que yendo á la fuente perdió sus zarcillos, gran pena merece!
The Lamentation for Celin represents a poem first printed in the Romancero general, and given in Durán, No. 126.
