　　The council ends, and that King Marsilie

　　Calleth aside Clarun of Balaguee,

　　Estramarin and Eudropin his peer,

　　And Priamun and Guarlan of the beard,

　　And Machiner and his uncle Mahee,

　　With Jouner, Malbien from over sea,

　　And Blancandrin, good reason to decree:

　　Ten hath he called, were first in felony.

　　"Gentle Barons, to Charlemagne go ye;

　　He is in siege of Cordres the city.

　　In your right hands bear olive-branches green

　　Which signify Peace and Humility.

　　If you by craft contrive to set me free,

　　Silver and gold, you'll have your fill of me,

　　Manors and fiefs, I'll give you all your need."

　　"We have enough," the pagans straight agree.
