Upon his good steed then he sprang,
He sprang without delay,
And, followed by his page, went forth
Upon his homeward way.
When home, he hung aloft,
Upon his gateway high,
The hideous head with grinning teeth
In sight of passers-by.
And now the warriors said, Behold!
A mighty man indeed
Is Lez-Breiz, stay of Brittany
In every time of need.
Whereto Lord Lez-Breiz answered straight:
“I twenty fights have seen,
And twenty thousand armèd men
By me have vanquished been;
“Yet never was I so beset,
So hardly pressed before,
Until this last encounter when
I slew the giant Moor.
