Beneath a pine the Monarch has repaired;

His barons to the council called: the Duke

Ogier—Archbishop Turpin—old Richard,

Also his nephew Henri, and the brave

Count Acelin of Gascuïgne—Tedbald

De Reins—his cousin Milon—Gerier,

Gerin, together with the Count Rollánd,

And Olivier, the brave and noble knight.

One thousand Franks of France and more were met—

Then Ganelon came, who treason wrought; and now

Was opened that ill-fated council thus:

Aoi.
