Chapter CCLXV

The Pagans fly--such is the will of God;
Carle leads the French in the pursuit. Thus spake
The King:--"Seigneurs, the time is come to give
Vent to just hatred, and your anguished hearts
Assuage. This very morn I saw your eyes
Streaming with tears." They cry:--"Our vengeance now!"
And vying with each other in exploits,
They deal their mighty blows. But few escape.
Aoi.
