Tierri had won, and on the battle-field

The Emperor Carle arrived with an escort

Of forty Barons,—Naimes the Duke, Ogier

De Dannemarche, Geffrei d'Anjou, Willalmes

De Blaive.—In close embrace the King has pressed

Tierri, and with his mantle's sables wiped

The warrior's face; then lays his furs aside

And on his shoulders others are arrayed.

Meanwhile the knight, by friendly hands disarmed,

On an Arabian mule is placed, and so

This valorous Baron full of joy returns

To Aix.—Amid the place they all dismount,

And now the sureties must abide their doom.

Aoi.
