LXXI	A
Aurora bright her crystal gates unbarred	B
And bridegroom like forth stept the glorious sun	C
When trumpets loud and clarions shrill were heard	B
And every one to rouse him fierce begun	C
Sweet music to each heart for war prepared	B
The soldiers glad by heaps to harness run	C
So if with drought endangered be their grain	D
Poor ploughmen joy when thunders promise rain	D
	-
LXXII	A
Some shirts of mail some coats of plate put on	E
Some donned a cuirass some a corslet bright	B
And halbert some and some a habergeon	E
So every one in arms was quickly dight	B
His wonted guide each soldier tends upon	E
Loose in the wind waved their banners light	B
Their standard royal toward Heaven they spread	B
The cross triumphant on the Pagans dead	B
	-
LXXIII	A
Meanwhile the car that bears the lightning brand	B
Upon the eastern hill was mounted high	F
And smote the glistering armies as they stand	B
With quivering beams which dazed the wondering eye	F
That Phaeton like it fired sea and land	B
The sparkles seemed up to the skies to fly	F
The horses' neigh and clattering armors' sound	B
Pursue the echo over dale and down	E
	-
LXXIV	F
Their general did with due care provide	B
To save his men from ambush and from train	E
Some troops of horse that lightly armed ride	B
He sent to scour the woods and forests main	E
His pioneers their busy work applied	B
To even the paths and make the highways plain	E
They filled the pits and smoothed the rougher ground	B
And opened every strait they closed found	B
	-
LXXV	F
They meet no forces gathered by their foe	F
No towers defenced with rampire moat or wall	G
No stream no wood no mountain could forslow	G
Their hasty pace or stop their march at all	G
So when his banks the prince of rivers Po	F
Doth overswell he breaks with hideous fall	G
The mossy rocks and trees o'ergrown with age	H
Nor aught withstands his fury and his rage	H
	-
LXXVI	F
The King of Tripoli in every hold	B
Shut up his men munition and his treasure	I
The straggling troops sometimes assail he would	B
Save that he durst not move them to displeasure	I
He stayed their rage with presents gifts and gold	B
And led them through his land at ease and leisure	I
To keep his realm in peace and rest he chose	A
With what conditions Godfrey list impose	A
	-
LXXVII	F
Those of Mount Seir that neighboreth by east	B
The Holy City faithful folk each one	E
Down from the hill descended most and least	B
And to the Christian Duke by heaps they gone	E
And welcome him and his with joy and feast	B
On him they smile on him they gaze alone	E
And were his guides as faithful from that day	B
As Hesperus that leads the sun his way	B
	-
LXXVIII	F
Along the sands his armies safe they guide	B
By ways secure to them well known before	J
Upon the tumbling billows fraughted ride	B
The armed ships coasting along the shore	J
Which for the camp might every day provide	B
To bring munition good and victuals store	J
The isles of Greece sent in provision meet	B
And store of wine from Scios came and Crete	B
	-
LXXIX	A
Great Neptune grieved underneath the load	B
Of ships hulks galleys barks and brigantines	A
In all the mid earth seas was left no road	B
Wherein the Pagan his bold sails untwines	A
Spread was the huge Armado wide and broad	B
From Venice Genes and towns which them confines	A
From Holland England France and Sicil sent	B
And all for Juda ready bound and bent	B
	-
LXXX	A
All these together were combined and knit	B
With surest bonds of love and friendship strong	K
Together sailed they fraught with all things fit	B
To service done by land that might belong	K
And when occasion served disbarked it	B
Then sailed the Asian coasts and isles along	K
Thither with speed their hasty course they plied	B
Where Christ the Lord for our offences died	B
	-
LXXXI	A
The brazen trump of iron winged fame	L
That mingleth faithful troth with forged lies	A
Foretold the heathen how the Christians came	L
How thitherward the conquering army hies	A
Of every knight it sounds the worth and name	L
Each troop each band each squadron it descries	A
And threat'neth death to those fire sword and slaughter	I
Who held captived Israel's fairest daughter	I
	-
LXXXII	A
The fear of ill exceeds the evil we fear	M
For so our present harms still most annoy us	A
Each mind is prest and open every ear	N
To hear new tidings though they no way joy us	A
This secret rumor whispered everywhere	O
About the town these Christians will destroy us	A
The aged king his coming evil that knew	E
Did cursed thoughts in his false heart renew	E
	-
LXXXIII	A
This aged prince ycleped Aladine	E
Ruled in care new sovereign of this state	B
A tyrant erst but now his fell engine	E
His graver are did somewhat mitigate	B
He heard the western lords would undermine	E
His city's wall and lay his towers prostrate	B
To former fear he adds a new come doubt	B
Treason he fears within and force without	B
	-
LXXXIV	F
For nations twain inhabit there and dwell	G
Of sundry faith together in that town	E
The lesser part on Christ believed well	G
On Termagent the more and on Mahown	E
But when this king had made this conquest fell	G
And brought that region subject to his crown	E
Of burdens all he set the Paynims large	P
And on poor Christians laid the double charge	P
	-
LXXXV	F
His native wrath revived with this new thought	B
With age and years that weakened was of yore	J
Such madness in his cruel bosom wrought	B
That now than ever blood he thirsteth more	J
So stings a snake that to the fire is brought	B
Which harmless lay benumbed with cold before	J
A lion so his rage renewed hath	Q
Though fame before if he be moved to wrath	Q
