His duty good Rogero satisfied,
Following the royal lord with whom he came;
For having no fair cause to quit his side,
He could not leave the Paynim without shame;
And, if his sire had by Almontes died,
In this, King
Agramant
was not to blame;
Who for his parents' every past offence
Had made Rogero mighty recompense.
