Alphonsus King of Aragon, seeing a Gally full of Soldiers ready to be cast away, commanded she should be succour’d; and as he was slowly obey’d, by reason of the danger, he was going himself to its relief; and because every Body told him what danger he exposed himself to: Nay, said he, I had rather be a sharer than a Spectator of the Death of my Soldiers.

Alphonse Roy d’Aragon, voyant qu’une Galere chargée de Soldats perissoit, commanda qu’on l’allat secourir; & comme on tardoit à lui obeïr, a cause du peril, il se mit lui même en ètat de courir à son secours; & sur ce que chacun lui representoit le danger où il s’exposoit! Ah! dit-il, j’aime mieux être Compagnon que Spectateur de la Mort de mes Soldats.
