Bastard of Buovo, brother to the pair, Sir Vivian and Sir Malagigi hight:
Who him Gerardo's lawful son declare, Are witnesses of little worth and light.
-- This, as it may! -- strong, valiant, wise, and ware, Liberal, humane, and courteous was the knight;
And on the fortress of its absent lord, By night and day, kept faithful watch and ward.
