Chapter XXVI

The King presents to him his right hand glove;
But Ganelon would well have ne'er stood there,
For ere he touched the royal glove, it fell.
The French exclaim:--"What bodes this omen? Shall
This embassy not have a woeful end?--"
"_Seigneurs_," said Ganelon, "you will hear of this!"
Aoi.
