Richard obtained another horse in Cyprus among the spoils that he acquired there, and which afterward became his favorite. His name was Favelle, though in some of the old annals he is called Faunelle. This horse acquired great fame by the strength and courage, and also the great sagacity, that he displayed in the various battles that he was engaged in with his master.
The abatement of sixpence in the price of admission to the pit, and the dismissal of an unfortunate servant, whose only fault was too much zeal in the service of his employers, such were the grand victories of the O. P.'s. THE THUGS, or PHANSIGARS. Orribili favelle parole di dolor.
His favorite charger, Favelle, was killed under him that morning, and as he had come from Acre in haste and by sea, there was no other horse at hand to supply his place. Saladin immediately said that that was not as it should be. "The King of England," said he, "should not fight on foot like a common soldier." He immediately sent over to Richard, with a flag of truce, two splendid horses.
A woman at Favelle said, "Oh, the Koiari man thinks nothing of killing his wife." The word for "sneeze" in Koiari is akiso. When they are leaving for a journey or going for the night they call out kiso, and often from their houses they shout their good-night to us, kiso. There is a woman in deep mourning for her daughter.
I felt sick with horror. As if their hoarse and over strained voices failed to make noise enough, they soon began to clap their hands violently. The scene described by Dante was before me: "Quivi sospiri, pianti, ed alti guai Risonavon per l'aere Orribili favelle Parole di dolore, accenti d'ira Voci alti e floche, e suon di man con elle."
The miserable death of King Isaac. Richard's wedding at last. A coronation. The king's accoutrement. Favelle. The appearance of Berengaria. The time at length fully arrived for the departure of the English fleet from Sicily for the purpose of continuing the voyage to the Holy Land.
