"Thy favor, King Alfonso, our overlord art thou. And we cannot deny it, for he gave us the two brands. And since that we return them he desires now and demands, Into his hand to give them in thy presence are we fain." Then they brought forth Coláda and Tizón, the falchions twain, Straightway they gave them over to the King their sovereign's hands. The whole court shone glorious when they brought forth the brands. The pommels and the hilt-bars are all of massy gold; To the true henchmen of the court 'twas a marvel to behold. The King my lord Cid summoned, to him the swords he gave. His sovereign's hands he kisseth. He receiveth either glaive. To the bench whence he had risen, he turned him back again, And in his hands he held them, he looked upon the twain. Changelings they could not give him; he knew the two aright, And his heart laughed within him, he was filled with all delight. "Now by my beard none ever plucked," gripping it hard he spake, For Dame Sol and Dame Elvíra high vengeance I will take." By name his nephew Pero he has called out before; And stretching forth his hand, to him the sword Tizón gave o'er. "Take it nephew. The sword's master now is fairer of renown." To good Martin Antolínez the man of Burgos town, Stretching forth his hand Coláda into his care he gave; "Thou Martin Antolínez, who art a vassal brave, Take Coláda that I captured from a true knight without fail, From him of Barcelona, from Remónd Berenguél. That thou mayst guard it rightly, therefore I give it thee, I know if aught befall thee, if occasion e'er should be, Great fame and estimation with the sword shalt thou attain." The lord Cid's hands he kissed them. He took the sword again. My lord the Cid the Campeador unto his feet rose he; "Now thanks to the Creator and my lord the King to thee. With the swords Coláda and Tizón I am content indeed, But I have a farther issue 'gainst Carrión Heirs to plead: When with them from Valencia my daughters twain they bore, Three thousand marks of silver and gold I gave them o'er. When I did this, the winning of all their end they saw. Let them restore the treasure. They are not my sons-in-law." Now might you hearken Carrión's Heirs, what a complaint made they. To them said the Count don Remónd: "Give answer, 'Yea' or 'Nay'!', And then the Heirs of Carrión, they made their answer plain: "Therefore to the Cid Campeador we gave his swords again That he might demand naught further, for his suit is closed thereby." Then straightway the Count don Remónd unto them made reply: "This say we: With the pleasure of the Sovereign if it stands, You shall give satisfaction in what the Cid demands." The good King said: "The measure with my assent doth meet." And now hath the Cid Campeador arisen to his feet: "Say of those goods I gave you, will ye give them me anew Or render an accounting?"
