Excerpt from The Talba, or Moor of Portugal, Vol. 2 of 3: A Romance
Heaven in thy good cause make thee prosperous,
Rouse up thy youthful blood, be valiant and live! Shakspeare.
The blast of a single trumpet gave the signal: in a moment the multitude became hushed. All eyes were now fixed on the spot whence the bull would issue forth. Expectation, raised to the highest pitch, appeared in every face, but was too strong for speech. In another moment the barriers were thrown abroad; and the profound silence was alone broken by the burst of the mighty animal as he rushed into the arena.
