"To Sarraguce I go, and know full well

Who thither goes, may ne'er return. Nay more,

Your sister is my wife, and I by her

Have one fair son, Baldewin, the goodliest child

Who [if he live] will be a noble knight.

To him I leave my fiefs and honors: guard

Him well, for him these eyes no more shall see."

Carle answers:—"Much too tender is your heart;

Since I command, your duty 'tis to go."

Aoi.
