And alongside of the pin is Babieca's saddle, and at Roncesvalles there is Roland's horn, as large as a large beam; whence we may infer that there were Twelve Peers, and a Pierres, and a Cid, and other knights like them, of the sort people commonly call adventurers.
J'étois si près d'elle qu'on me dit de m'èloigner: ainsi je pus la voir parfaitement.
