That admiral hath wisdom great indeed;
His son to him and those two kings calls he:
My lords barons, beforehand canter ye, All my columns together shall you lead;But of the best I'll keep beside me three:
One is of Turks; the next of Ormaleis;
And the third is the Giants of Malpreis.
And Occiant's, they'll also stay with me, Until with Charles and with the Franks they meet.
That Emperour, if he combat with me, Must lose his head, cut from his shoulders clean;He may be sure naught else for him's decreed.
AOI.
