Note 220 — Chapter VII
Reading edition
On one of the occasions when Bernardo had been most foully and falsely treated by the king, he says,—
Señor, Rey sois, y haredes A vuestro querer y guisa.
A king you are, and you must do, In your own way, what pleases you.
And on another similar occasion, another ballad, he says to the king,—
De servir no os dejaré Mientras que tenga la vida.
Nor shall I fail to serve your Grace While life within me keeps its place.
