And take with you Torleu, the Persian king And Dapamort, another king Leutish.
Their arrogance if you can humble it, Of my domains a slice to you I'll give From Cheriant unto the Vale Marquis.""I thank you, Sire!" Malprimes answers him;Going before, he takes delivery;
'Tis of that land, was held by king Flurit.
After that hour he never looked on it, Investiture gat never, nor seizin.
