Alfonso's habit now is changed,
His gloomy cowl is thrown away
His flowing locks were all arranged
In many glossy ringlet gay.
His rosary is laid aside,
With all the trappings of his creed,
When, he, forsooth, would make bride
OF one of the Gitano breed.
In fact he was a handsome Don
Or rather an excuse for ONE
Aa might bo seen all CASTLE through
And he was gentle, yet his mould
OF intellect was such as grew
By native instinct in fold
Whose shepherd taught the doctrine wise
That priest nor monk nor dull prelate
Could ever mount the ambient skies,
Who had his glowing passions safe.
How mueh-he profted by this,
Or what OF faith or church was his,
Is not theme for dull discourse,
For II the youth had done amiss,
Some older ones have done much worse
with all their wit and sense beside
Than wed handsome Gallo bride.

This Is Alfonso's nuptial night,
SThat wakes to love the sweet guitar,
And on the winged zephyrs light,
Sends the soft, liquid music far.
The bronzf ID CHECKED sons of Egypt are
Assembled with their fairy maids,-
And she who seems the evening star,
That shines above all other grades
The lovely, loved and loving bride
OF those who feign would grace heY side,
Is the zincali, blushing bride.
