When Roland, the flower of chivalry,
Expired at Roncevall."
X. Y. Z. seems also to have forgotten what Mr. Campbell duly records, viz. that Roland used to station himself at a window overlooking "the nun's green isle;" it being after her decease that he met his death at Roncevall, which event, by the way, is alluded to by Sir W. Scott in Marmion, canto vi.:
"Oh, for a blast of that dread horn,
On Fontarabian echoes borne,
That to King Charles did come;
When Roland brave, and Olivier,
And every paladin and peer,
At Roncesvalles died!"
