In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,

And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace-walls.

The King
commands
Gebuin and Otun,
Tedbalt of Reims, also the count Milun:
"Guard me this field, these hills and valleys too,
Let the dead lie, all as they are, unmoved,
Let not approach lion, nor any brute,
Let not approach esquire, nor any groom;
For I forbid that any come thereto,
Until God will that we return anew.
