Vowing with her the warrior to content,

  Who in that conflict, on that fatal day,

  With his good hand most gainful succour lent,

  And slew most paynims in the martial fray.

  But counter to his hopes the battle went,

  And his thinned squadrons fled in disarray;

  Namus, with other Christian captains taken,

  And his pavilion in the rout forsaken.
