Cantiga 137 of the Cantigas de Santa Maria of Alfonso X

The Lustful Knight who was Made Impotent
A knight was overcome with lust.

No matter how much he tried, he could not resist temptation.

The devil constantly tempted the knight, causing him to sin.

The knight prayed to the Virgin to free him from lust.

The Virgin realised that the knight’s soul was in danger, and decided to cure him of the vice. She made him impotent.

Even when the knight wanted to sin, he could never gratify himself.
