LVI	A
Guascher and Raiphe in valor like there was	B
The one and other Guido famous both	C
Germer and Eberard to overpass	D
In foul oblivion would my Muse be loth	E
With his Gildippes dear Edward alas	D
A loving pair to war among them go'th	F
In bond of virtuous love together tied	G
Together served they and together died	G
	-
LVII	A
In school of love are all things taught we see	H
There learned this maid of arms the ireful guise	I
Still by his side a faithful guard went she	H
One true love knot their lives together ties	I
No would to one alone could dangerous be	H
But each the smart of other's anguish tries	I
If one were hurt the other felt the sore	J
She lost her blood he spent his life therefore	J
	-
LVIII	A
But these and all Rinaldo far exceeds	K
Star of his sphere the diamond of this ring	L
The nest where courage with sweet mercy breeds	K
A comet worthy each eye's wondering	L
His years are fewer than his noble deeds	K
His fruit is ripe soon as his blossoms spring	L
Armed a Mars might coyest Venus move	A
And if disarmed then God himself of Love	A
	-
LIX	K
Sophia by Adige's flowery bank him bore	J
Sophia the fair spouse to Bertoldo great	M
Fit mother for that pearl and before	J
The tender imp was weaned from the teat	N
The Princess Maud him took in Virtue's lore	J
She brought him up fit for each worthy feat	N
Till of these wares the golden trump he hears	K
That soundeth glory fame praise in his ears	K
	-
LX	K
And then though scantly three times five years old	O
He fled alone by many an unknown coast	P
O'er Aegean Seas by many a Greekish hold	O
Till he arrived at the Christian host	P
A noble flight adventurous brave and bold	O
Whereon a valiant prince might justly boast	P
Three years he served in field when scant begin	Q
Few golden hairs to deck his ivory chin	Q
	-
LXI	K
The horsemen past their void left stations fill	R
The bands on foot and Reymond them beforn	Q
Of Tholouse lord from lands near Piraene Hill	R
By Garound streams and salt sea billows worn	Q
Four thousand foot he brought well armed and skill	R
Had they all pains and travels to have borne	Q
Stout men of arms and with their guide of power	S
Like Troy's old town defenced with Ilion's tower	S
	-
LXII	K
Next Stephen of Amboise did five thousand lead	T
The men he prest from Tours and Blois but late	M
To hard assays unfit unsure at need	U
Yet armed to point in well attempted plate	M
The land did like itself the people breed	U
The soil is gentle smooth soft delicate	V
Boldly they charge but soon retire for doubt	W
Like fire of straw soon kindled soon burnt out	W
	-
LXIII	K
The third Alcasto marched and with him	X
The boaster brought six thousand Switzers bold	O
Audacious were their looks their faces grim	X
Strong castles on the Alpine clifts they hold	O
Their shares and coulters broke to armors trim	X
They change that metal cast in warlike mould	O
And with this band late herds and flocks that guide	G
Now kings and realms he threatened and defied	G
	-
LXIV	A
The glorious standard last to Heaven they sprad	G
With Peter's keys ennobled and his crown	Q
With it seven thousand stout Camillo had	G
Embattailed in walls of iron brown	Q
In this adventure and occasion glad	G
So to revive the Romans' old renown	Q
Or prove at least to all of wiser thought	G
Their hearts were fertile land although unwrought	G
	-
LXV	A
But now was passed every regiment	G
Each band each troop each person worth regard	G
When Godfrey with his lords to counsel went	G
And thus the Duke his princely will declared	G
I will when day next clears the firmament	G
Our ready host in haste be all prepared	G
Closely to march to Sion's noble wall	Y
Unseen unheard or undescried at all	Y
	-
LXVI	A
Prepare you then for travel strong and light	G
Fierce to the combat glad to victory	K
And with that word and warning soon was dight	G
Each soldier longing for near coming glory	K
Impatient be they of the morning bright	G
Of honor so them pricked the memory	K
But yet their chieftain had conceived a fear	Z
Within his heart but kept it secret there	A2
	-
LXVII	A
For he by faithful spial was assured	G
That Egypt's King was forward on his way	B2
And to arrive at Gaza old procured	G
A fort that on the Syrian frontiers lay	B2
Nor thinks he that a man to wars inured	G
Will aught forslow or in his journey stay	B2
For well he knew him for a dangerous foe	A
An herald called he then and spake him so	A
	-
LXVIII	A
A pinnace take thee swift as shaft from bow	C2
And speed thee Henry to the Greekish main	Q
There should arrive as I by letters know	A
From one that never aught reports in vain	Q
A valiant youth in whom all virtues flow	A
To help us this great conquest to obtain	Q
The Prince of Danes he is and brings to war	J
A troop with him from under the Arctic star	D2
	-
LXIX	A
And for I doubt the Greekish monarch sly	E2
Will use with him some of his wonted craft	G
To stay his passage or divert awry	E2
Elsewhere his forces his first journey laft	G
My herald good and messenger well try	E2
See that these succors be not us beraft	G
But send him thence with such convenient speed	G
As with his honor stands and with our need	G
	-
LXX	A
Return not thou but Legier stay behind	G
And move the Greekish Prince to send us aid	G
Tell him his kingly promise doth him bind	G
To give us succors by his covenant made	G
This said and thus instruct his letters signed	G
The trusty herald took nor longer stayed	G
But sped him thence to done his Lord's behest	G
And thus the Duke reduced his thoughts to rest	G
