Turpin the Archbishop from another side,

Spurring his courser, mounts a hill and calls

The French around. This sermon to them speaks:

"Seigneurs Barons, Carle left us here: for him,

Our King, our duty is to die, to aid

In saving Christendom, the Faith of Christ

Uphold. There, battle will ye have, for there

Before your eyes behold the Saracens.

Confess your sins, and for God's mercy pray!

For your soul's cure I absolution give....

If you should die, as holy martyrs ye

Will fall, and places find in Paradise!"

The French alight and fall upon their knees;

The Godly Archbishop grants them benison,

Giving for penance his command to strike.

Aoi.
