Excerpt from The Talba, or Moor of Portugal, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance
"And Cintra"s summits tell
How the grim Saracern"s dread legions fell." Mickle.
On one of the mountain eminences of Cintra in Portugal, a pile of rugged and broken rocks, adorned in part by the scanty herbage that grows within their cavities, overhangs a smooth and somewhat broad space of ground, where, notwithstanding the heat of the climate, a carpet of the finest grass appears always verdant, being refreshed by a little rush of water that wells out beneath the rocks, and, running in a narrow channel through the midst of the grassy glade, finds its way down the precipice which forms a boundary to this delightful spot.
