Chanson de Roland |

Victorious Love a threatening dart did show
His right hand held; the other bore a bow,

(Free, or broke loose) with quicker speed than he
Made haste to wound; fire
sparkled
from his eye.

With thrilling point of deadly yron brand,
And launcht his Lordly hart: with death opprest
He roar'd aloud, whiles life forsooke his
stubborne
brest.
