Castillo, dáteme, date

Castillo, dáteme, date,
sino dártehe yo combate.

Castillo de alto cimiento
adó está mi pensamiento,
procede de ti el contento
que el corazón arrebate:
sino dártehe yo combate.

Castillo hermoso y dorado
do aposenta mi cuidado,
muéstrame tu puente o vado
por dar a mis penas mate,
sino dártehe yo combate.

Castillo de gran altura
dechado de la hermosura,
pues en ti está mi ventura
sus tiros y armas abate,
sino dártehe yo combate.

by Juan de Linares

Yield, thou castle!

Yield, thou castle ! yield, 
I march me to the field. 

Thy walls are proud and high, 
My thoughts all dwell with thee 
Now yield thee -- yield thee -- I 
Am come for victory; 
I march me to the field. 

Thy halls are fair and gay, 
And there resides my grief; 
Thy bridge, -- thy cover'd way, 
Prepare for my relief; 
I march me to the field. 

Thy towers sublimely rise 
In beauty's brightest glow ; 
There, there, my comfort lies, 
O ! give me welcome now : 
I march me to the field.

by Sir John Bowring (1792-1872) , "Yield, thou castle!"
