Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gonzalvo: Or the Fall of Grenada Gonzalvo, or the Fall of Grenada. Book I. Ye beauteous Nymphs who sport beneath the wave, And glossy curls in crystal streamlets lave, Who by the banks of Gaudalquiver rove, Courting the shadows of each verdant grove; And then on plains where blooming flowers prepare Their spicy fragrance to perfume the air, At founts ambrosial press the ruby lip, And life-inspiring, sparkling, nectar sip, - Cease for a while these pastimes of the soul, The wayward musings of my mind control, Illume my fancies with poetic flame, To blazen halos round Gonzalvo's name; To image forth his wondrous deeds of blood, That bathed Grenada with a purple flood. Around me now let thy sweet influence move, And guide my pencil in a theme of love; While tracing combats of Cordova's son And painting battles by his valor won, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
