Using the same tune, Avenant began to sing:
"Look down, here is Avenant beneath, beneath
He will draw from your head, the teeth, the teeth
Although he is not very big, 'tis true,
He is able to fight with such as you."
The giant put himself into a terrible passion, and would have killed Avenant with one blow, only a raven from above flew at his head, and pecked him straight in the eyes, so violently that he was blinded. He began striking out on all sides, but Avenant avoided his blows, and with his sword pierced him so many times that at last he fell to the ground. Then Avenant cut off his head, and the raven, who had perched on a tree, said,
"I have not forgotten how you rescued me from the eagle; I promised to repay you, I think I have done so to-day."
"I owe everything to you, Mr. Raven," responded Avenant, as, holding Galifron's head, he rode off.
When he entered the town, crowds followed him crying, "Here is the brave Avenant who has slain the monster."
Avenant advanced to the Princess, and said, "Madam, your enemy is dead. I hope you will no more refuse the King, my master."
