To make King Agramant, for penance, smite

  His cheek, and rash Marsilius rue the hour;

  This, when all trained with lance and sword to fight,

  He led from Africa to swell his power;

  That other when he pushed, in fell despite,

  Against the realm of France Spain's martial flower.

  'Twas thus Orlando came where Charles was tented

  In evil hour, and soon the deed repented.
