Rinaldo and Gradasso, who descried

  Baiardo's flight, the conqueror's destined meed,

  The battle to suspend, on either side,

  Till they regained the goodly horse, agreed,

  Saved from that fowl which chased him, far and wide;

  Conditioning whichever found the steed,

  With him anew should to that fountain wend,

  Beside whose brim their battle they should end.
