Note 506 — Chapter XII · THE LATER REIGN OF WILLIAM IN NORMANDY.[159] 1051–1066. (continued 2)

Roman de Rou, 10415;

“De mautalent soufle è suspire,

De pesance ne set ke dire;

Mult véissiez sun cors desfrire;

E sun viaire taindre d’ire.

Volentiers, ço dist, retornast

S’il arière passer kuidast,

Si les barnages li loast,

Maiz nus ne loe k’il i past.”
