“Velasquez dies with Sanches de Toledo, A mighty hunter this, and that a clerke: Galbes eke perisheth surnamed ‘Sem Medo,’ For thus his comrades called for countermark: Montánchez, Oropésa, Mondonhedo (Albeit skilled in arms, in sinews stark), Fell by Antonio’s hand, stout youth and brave Whose lance more dext’erous drave them to the grave.
