CCXXXIII

Ten great columns they marshal thereafter;

Of Canelious, right ugly, is the first,

Who from Val-Fuit came across country there;

The next's of Turks; of Persians is the third;

The fourth is raised of desperate Pinceners,

The fifth is raised from Soltras and Avers;

The sixth is from Ormaleus and Eugez;

The seventh is the tribe of Samuel;

The eighth is from Bruise; the ninth from Esclavers;

The tenth is from Occiant, the desert,

That is a tribe, do not the Lord God serve,

Of such felons you never else have heard;

Hard is their hide, as though it iron were,

Wherefore of helm or hauberk they've no care;

In the battle they're felon murderers.
