This the “Elder Knight” perceiving
(Guido’s father), though a churl,
Said, “I never more will hinder
Guido’s penchant for the girl.”
Meanwhile, screwing up his courage,
Guido, maundering no more,
Has again put on his armour,
Plunged into the battle’s roar,
Deeds of daring without number,
Paynims driven from the walls,
