-- Cadurci, and Cahors city left behind-- Bradamant sees the mountain, far and near, Whence Dordogne's waters to the valley wind;
And Montferrant's and Clermont's towers appear:
When she, a lady fair, of semblance kind, Beholds, by that same road, towards her steer.
Three knights were nigh, and -- at the pommel hung-- A buckler from the damsel's saddle swung.
