God of Moses, forgive the creatures thou hast made!" The shouts of both parties augmented the fearful din, the assailants crying, "Saint George for merry England!" and the Normans answering them with loud cries of "En avant De Bracy! Beau-seant! Beau-seant! Front-de-Boeuf a la rescousse!" according to the war-cries of their different commanders.
On the present occasion, a throne was erected for the Grand Master at the east end, surrounded with seats of distinction for the Preceptors and Knights of the Order. Over these floated the sacred standard, called "Le Beau-seant", which was the ensign, as its name was the battle-cry, of the Templars.
"Be it so," said the King; "but for thine own sake tax me not with usurpation now. "To be a guest in the house where I should command?" said the Templar; "never!

"There is the Grand Master of the Templars," he continued, "undaunted, skilful, brave in battle, and sage in council, having no separate kingdoms of his own to divert his exertions from the recovery of the Holy Land what thinks your Majesty of the Master as a general leader of the Christian host?" "Ha, Beau-Seant?" answered the King.
Beau-séant! Beau-séant! At this moment the Earl of Salisbury made an effort to save his comrades from the destruction on which they were about to rush. 'My lord, said he, addressing the Count of Artois, 'I implore you to listen to the wholesome counsel of the grand masters. They have been long in this country, and learned by experience the craft as well as the strength of our foes.
