FOOTNOTES:

 [1] Tubal, grandson of Noah, son of Japhet his son, peopled Spain,
 that I know for sure. And he was the first King from whom the name of
 Tubalia. And this first King through fright, made his seat in Toledo,
 because of the waters he did not dare to settle in the plain, but
 chose the rocky heights. This was forty and three and a hundred years
 more after the great and savage deluge. And after Tubal reigned Ibero,
 from whom is said Iberia. Entered Tago with courage, who peopled the
 South, and much enlarged Toledo and the Tagus, and in conclusion, to
 his kingdom gave the name of Taja.

    Hijo, de Japhet su hijo,
    Poblo à España, cierto sé,
    Y es el primer rey que fué,
    Por quien Tubalia se dijo.
    Y esto primer rey de miedo
    Hizo su assiento en Toledo
    Que pon las aguas no ha ossado
    En lo llano hacer poblado
    Sino en alto y en roquedo.

    "Esto fué a quarenta y tres
     Y mas cien años despues
     Del diluvio grande, y fiero,
     Y tras Tubal reyno Ibero,
     Por quien dicha Iberia es,
     Entra Tajo, con denuedo,
     Que poblo en el meridion,
     Y aumento mucho a Toledo,
     Y al Tajo y su reyna ledo
     Nombro Taga en conclusion."
