There is a type of manly valour; but valour in a woman, or unscrupulous cleverness, is inappropriate.
At first nothing was able to stand before the valour of the Portuguese, the Moors were driven from one mountain to another, and were dislodged even from those places, which it seemed almost impossible to approach, even unmolested by the opposition of an enemy.
