Madrid, castillo famoso
que al rey moro alivia el miedo,
arde en fiestas en su coso,
por ser el natal dichoso
de Alimenón de Toledo.

Translation of the text on the cover:
Madrid, a famous fortress
that eases the Moorish king’s fear,
burns with festivity in its arena,
for being the fortunate birthplace
of Alimenón of Toledo.
