Turpin de Reins arises from the ranks

And to the King he says: "Let your Franks stay,

To this land seven years ago you came,

And they have suffered much of toil and pain.

Give me the glove and staff, and I will go

And speak my mind to that proud Saracen."

With anger great the Emperor replies:

"Back to your seat on yonder pallie white

Nor speak another word, save by command!"

Aoi.
