(Very slow and mournful military music without.)

This way! they come this way!

Urb. All holy saints

Grant that they pass us not! Those martial sounds

Have a strange tone of sadness! Hark, they swell

Proudly, yet full of sorrow.

Rainier de Chatillon enters with knights, soldiers, &c.

Welcome, knights!

Ye bring us timely aid! men’s hearts were full

Of doubt and terror. Brave De Chatillon!
