Chapter XXV

When Ganelon saw the laughter of Rolland,
It seemed as though his breast would burst with wrath;
His brain was well-nigh maddened by his rage.
Unto the Count he cried:--"I love you not;
This judgment have you caused on me to fall!
Right Emp'ror, in your presence, lo! I stand,
And I am ready to fulfill your word."
Aoi.
