=152= 31 =Lastima de Cid Campeador=: 'it's a pity about the Cid
Campeador' (ironical). The Cid (often called also Campeador, 'champion')
is the chief of the popular national heroes of Spain. His true name was
Rodrigo Diaz de Bivar. His exploits against both Christians and Moslems
made him a marked figure even in his own time, and shortly after his
death in the year 1099 he became one of the favorite subjects of popular
poetry. He is the hero of one of the earliest and most famous monuments
of Spanish poetry, the _Poema del Cid_; the early chronicles give much
space to him, and he was sung in great numbers of popular ballads
(=romances=).

=153= 15 =por aquello de que tiene uno=: 'by reason of the fact that one
has.' A peculiarity of the Spanish use of =uno=, 'one,' well illustrated
by this example, is that there is a feeling against employing it except
with reference to the speaker himself. Thus the general and
indeterminate 'one,' 'they,' 'people,' Fr. _on_, is rendered by the
reflexive or by the third person plural of the verb; but when the
speaker for any reason desires to generalize himself, so to speak, he
employs =uno=.
