Chapter XXXIX

Into his orchard King Marsile repaired,
Attended only by his wisest men;
Came thither too the gray-haired Blancandrin
With Turfaleu his son and heir; with them
The Kalif, brother and good friend of King
Marsile.--Said Blancandrin:--"Recall the Frank;
To serve us he has pledged his faith."--The King
Replied:--"Go, bring him hither."--Then he took
Ganelon's fingers into his right hand,
And brought him to the grove before the King;
And lo! was woven there the traitor's plot.
Aoi.
