The Song of Roland. Anonymous

Чтение книги онлайн.

СКАЧАТЬ Marsil bade a book be brought,

      Wherein was all the law contained

      Mahound and Termagaunt ordained.

      The Saracen hath sworn thereby,

      If Roland in the rear-guard lie,

      With all his men-at-arms to go,

      And combat till the count lay low.

      Sir Gan repeated, "Be it so."

      XLIX

      King Marsil's foster-father came,

      A heathen, Valdabrun by name.

      He spake to Gan with laughter clear.

      "My sword, that never found its peer,—

      A thousand pieces would not buy

      The riches in the hilt that lie,—

      To you I give in guerdon free;

      Your aid in Roland's fall to see,

      Let but the rear-guard be his place."

      "I trust," said Gan, "to do you grace."

      Then each kissed other on the face.

      L

      Next broke with jocund laughter in,

      Another heathen, Climorin.

      To Gan he said, "Accept my helm,

      The best and trustiest in the realm,

      Conditioned that your aid we claim

      To bring the marchman unto shame."

      "Be it," said Ganelon, "as you list."

      And then on cheek and mouth they kissed.
