XXXIX.

Into his orchard King Marsile repaired,

Attended only by his wisest men;

Came thither too the gray-haired Blancandrin

With Turfaleu his son and heir; with them

The Kalif, brother and good friend of King

Marsile.—Said Blancandrin:—"Recall the Frank;

To serve us he has pledged his faith."—The King

Replied:—"Go, bring him hither."—Then he took

Ganelon's fingers into his right hand,

And brought him to the grove before the King;

And lo! was woven there the traitor's plot.

Aoi.
