Sang Adhelmar:
"D'Andreghen in Normandy Went forth to slay mine enemy; But as he went Lord God for me wrought marvellously; "Wherefore, I may call and cry That am now about to die, 'I am content!' "Domine! Domine! Gratias accipe! Et meum animum Recipe in coelum_!" 6.

"He is safe," said Adhelmar. He told Melite how Hugues was rescued and shipped to England, and how, if she would, she might straightway follow him in a fishing-boat. "For there is likely to be ugly work at Puysange," Adhelmar said, "when the marshal comes. And he will come." "But what will you do now, my cousin?" asked Melite. |
