CCXII

Gefreid d'Anjou upon his trumpet sounds;

As Charles bade them, all the Franks dismount.

All of their friends, whose bodies they have found

To a charnel speedily the bring down.

Bishops there are, and abbots there enow,

Canons and monks, vicars with shaven crowns;

Absolution in God's name they've pronounced;

Incense and myrrh with precious gums they've ground,

And lustily they've swung the censers round;

With honour great they've laid them in the ground.

They've left them there; what else might they do now?

AOI.
