LXXI

　　King Corsablis is come from the other part,

　　Barbarian, and steeped in evil art.

　　He's spoken then as fits a good vassal,

　　For all God's gold he would not seem coward.

　　Hastes into view Malprimis of Brigal,

　　Faster than a horse, upon his feet can dart,

　　Before Marsile he cries with all his heart:

　　"My body I will shew at Rencesvals;

　　Find I Rollanz, I'll slay him without fault."
