Chapter CCXV

The Emp'ror Carle gives order that a watch
Be kept around Rolland, Count Olivier
And the Archbishop Turpin; bade their breasts
Be oped before him, and their hearts enwrapped
In silken cloths--in tombs of marble white
Inurned; the bodies of the Barons then
Perfumed with wine and fragrant herbs; the three
Seigneurs in wrappings of stag's hide were cased;
By Carle's decree Tedbald and Gebuin,
_Marchis_ Othon and Count Milon escort
Them on their way, upon three chariots borne,
And covered well with palls of glazed silk.
Aoi.
