When Ganelon saw the laughter of Rollánd,

It seemed as though his breast would burst with wrath;

His brain was well-nigh maddened by his rage.

Unto the Count he cried:—"I love you not;

This judgment have you caused on me to fall!

Right Emp'ror, in your presence, lo! I stand,

And I am ready to fulfill your word."

Aoi.
