XXXVI

  The host reproved himself, while so he said,

  And pieced his tale, as having left untold

  Things first in order; next to them displayed

  A royal castle by its warder sold.

  A prisoner by the faithless Switzer made,

  He shows the lord who hired him with his gold:

  Which double treason, without couching lance,

  Has given the victory to the king of France.
