Excerpt: ...and weak;   Nor clear enough his vision, far or near,   To recognise whatever man he sees;   His companion, when each the other meets,   Above the helm jewelled with gold he beats,   Slicing it down from there to the nose-piece,   But not his head; he's touched not brow nor cheek.   At such a blow Rollant regards him keen,   And asks of him, in gentle tones and sweet:   "To do this thing, my comrade, did you mean?   This is Rollanz, who ever held you dear;   And no mistrust was ever us between."   Says Oliver: "Now can I hear you speak;   I see you not: may the Lord God you keep!   I struck you now: and for your pardon plead."   Answers Rollanz: "I am not hurt, indeed;   I pardon you, before God's Throne and here."   Upon these words, each to the other leans;   And in such love you had their parting seen. CL   Oliver feels death's anguish on him now;   And in his head his two eyes swimming round;   Nothing he sees; he hears not any sound;   Dismounting then, he kneels upon the ground,   Proclaims his sins both firmly and aloud,   Clasps his two hands, heavenwards holds them out,   Prays God himself in Paradise to allow;   Blessings on Charles, and on Douce France he vows,   And his comrade, Rollanz, to whom he's bound.   Then his heart fails; his helmet nods and bows;   Upon the earth he lays his whole length out:   And he is dead, may stay no more, that count.   Rollanz the brave mourns him with grief profound;   Nowhere on earth so sad a man you'd found.
