sbortly replaced my shield on my breast, and grasped my spear, during which time the Lord Errat d'Esnieray, whose soul may God pardon! advanced towards me, for he had also been struck down by the enemy ; and we retreated to gether towards an old ruined house to wait for the king, who was coming, and I found means to recover my horse. As we were going to this house, a large body of Turks came galloping towards us, but passed on to a party of ours whom they saw hard by : as they passed, they struck me to the ground, with my shield over my neck, and galloped over me, thinking I was dead ; and indeed I was nearly so.

All were of my opinion that he should seek for assistance ; and
