第493章 CXXI

Rodomont has no sooner gained the shore, Than on the wooden bartizan he stands, Within the city walls, a bridge that bore (Roomy and large) king Charles's Christian bands.

Here many a scull is riven, here men take more Than monkish tonsure at the warrior's hands:

Heads fly and arms; and to the ditch a flood Runs streaming from the wall of crimson blood.
