Chapter CCXLIX

The brave Malprime has pressed his steed across
The field, and carried death among the French.
Duke Naimes glanced proudly toward him, and as knight
In battle fearless met him in career;
He strikes ... tears off his buckler's leathern top,
The hauberk cuts in twain, drives through the heart
The yellow pennon of the spear, and strikes
Him dead mid seven hundred other knights.
Aoi.
