That admiral to a baron's like enough, White is his beard as flowers by summer burnt;In his own laws, of wisdom hath he much;
And in battle he's proud and arduous.
His son Malprimes is very chivalrous, He's great and strong; -- his ancestors were thus.
Says to his sire: "To canter then let us!
I marvel much that soon we'll see Carlun."Says Baligant: " Yea, for he's very pruff;In many tales honour to him is done;
He hath no more Rollant, his sister's son, He'll have no strength to stay in fight with us."AOI.
