Jews and Moors in Spain. Joseph Krauskopf

of locusts, whom the wind

      Wafts from the plains of wasted Africa,

      The Mussulman upon Iberia's shores

      Descends. A countless multitude they came:

      Syrian, Moors, Saracen, Greek renegade,

      Persian, and Copt, and Latin, in one band

      Of Islam's faith conjoined, strong in the youth

      And heat of zeal, a dreadful brotherhood."
