Now has the Emp'ror Carle three squadrons; Naimes

The Duke, then forms the fourth with truly brave

Barons from Allemagne, who left La Marche.

These, twenty thousand count, so all report;

Well furnished with good steeds and arms; for dread

Of death in battle they will never yield.

Herman the Duke of Thrace, their chief, will die

Before he guilty proves of cowardice.

Aoi.
