From the banks, in morning's beam, / Of Xarama, famous stream; / From the spot, or nigh it, where / It joins the Tagus broad and fair, / Sped Belardo, blithe and gay, / To receive the righteous pay / Of all the years of love he'd spent / In doubts, and fears, and discontent-
"But happy the shepherd who finally gains" / "The beautiful prize of his manifold pains".
