Tierri, on seeing blood gush from his brow

And tinge the grassy field, strikes Pinabel

On his steel-burnished helmet, and cuts through

To the nose-plate. His head is cleft in twain

And gushes forth the brain. This fatal blow

Gives Pinabel his death, and ends the fight.

The French exclaim:—"O wondrous work of God!

Full right it is that Ganelon be hanged

With all his kin who sureties were for him!"

Aoi.
