But so I will not on her story dwell,

  As not to seek anew the valiant twain;

  Who, by consent, beside a lonely well,

  Had tied their goodly coursers by the rein.

  I of their war to you somedeal will tell,

  A war not waged for empire or domain,

  But that the best should buckle to his side

  Good Durindana, and Baiardo ride.
