CCXIV.

Geffrei d'Anjou obeyed and blew his horn;

The French dismount, such was the king's command,

And all their friends found slain upon the field

Together in one charnel wide inter:

A crowd of bishops, abbots, canons, monks

And tonsured priests there gathered, in the name

Of God assoil and bless; incense and myrrh

Are burned in reverence and love before

The dead who, buried there with honors great,

Are left alone—what more was there to do?

Aoi.
