CCXXXVI.

The Emir has himself ten legions armed.

To form the first the giants of Malpruse

Were summoned; to the second came the Huns;

The Hungres made the third; Baldise-la-Lungue

The fourth, and Val-Penuse the fifth; the sixth

Maruse; the seventh Leuz and Astrimonies;

The eighth Argoilles; Clarbone the ninth; the tenth

Formed of the bearded men of Val-Fondé,

A tribe that never would love God. The songs

Of Geste of France thus thirty legions count:

A mighty host where many a trumpet blasts.

Forward, like valiant knights, the Pagans ride.

Aoi.
