Isabella and Ferdinand

Isabella- such rare beauty of Spain, accept this fragrant rose from my hand; I'm a noble by birth, but a humble man: Ferdinand can give you love without end! Isabella, even the obssessed Alfonso, King of Portugal, would ask you in marriage disguising himself as a jester and on that wooden throne he would marry you in Fall; stay faithful to me, we accidently met at the Patum Fair! Kings constantly seek power and a strong wife that is charming and who can give them children, honor and fidelity; has such a king ever approached you: bowing down, begging to marry him and be part of his life and destiny? No, Isabella- riches don't always promise happiness, look for someone who has love that will gratify... and before you make that vow with absoluteness: look at me and admit there's nothing to justify!
