Buscan éstos, mis hijos, a vn Castilla Que estando en la batalla anduvo siempre En vn blanco caballo suelto, y tiene La barba larga, cana y bien poblada Y calva la cabeza. Es alto y ciñe Vna terrible espada, ancha y fuerte, Con que a todos por tierra nos ha puesto, Valiente por extremo. Y, por extremo, Vna bella donzella también buscan, Más hermosa que el Sol y más que el Cielo. Preguntan dónde está y qué se han hecho.
