CCLX

Says the admiral: "Nay, Charles, think, I beg,

And counsel take that t'wards me thou repent!

Thou'st slain my son, I know that very well;

Most wrongfully my land thou challengest;

Become my man, a fief from me thou'lt get;

Come, serving me, from here to the Orient!"

Charle answers him: "That were most vile offence;

No peace nor love may I to pagan lend.

Receive the Law that God to us presents,

Christianity, and then I'll love thee well;

Serve and believe the King Omnipotent!"

Says Baligant: "Evil sermon thou saist."

They go to strikewith th'swords, are on their belts.
