CXVIII

  "Offer these vows to God, to him well due;

  To him thy churches build, thine altars rear."

  Discoursing so, together wend the two,

  'Mid barons bold, that king and cavalier.

  The Nubian prince commands the menial crew

  Forthwith to bring the hospitable cheer;

  And hopes that now the foul, rapacious band,

  Will not dare snatch the victual from his hand.
