And he might well say it, for the flower of all France was there, except Rinaldo and Ricciardetto every man a picked man, all friends and constant companions of Orlando.
She made no objection, so I took the Ariosto, and began to read the history of the Spanish princess who fell in love with Bradamante. I thought that by the time I had finished Clementine would be ardent, but I was mistaken; both she and her sister seemed pensive. "What is the matter with you, dearest? Has Ricciardetto displeased you?"
Again fled the Saracens, never to come to Christendom more: but Charles went after them into Spain, he and Rinaldo and Ricciardetto and the good Turpin; and they took and fired Saragossa; and Marsilius was hung to the carob-tree under which he had planned his villany with Gan; and Gan was hung, and drawn and quartered, in Roncesvalles, amidst the execrations of the country.
He therefore descended in fury with his third army; and Rinaldo, seeing him coming, said to Ricciardetto, "We had better be off here, and join Orlando;" and with these words, he gave his horse one turn round before he retreated, so as to enable his sword to make a bloody circle about him; and stories say, that he sheared off twenty heads in the whirl of it.

"It shall be done," returned the demon; "and my serving-devil Foul-Mouth, or Fire-Red, shall enter the horse of Ricciardetto. Doubt it not. Am I not wise, and thyself powerful?"
Had we done so, we had not been so willing to incur the danger of falling. All I discern is, that, by the signs and comets in the heavens, something dreadful is about to happen something very strange, treacherous, and bloody; and that Gan has a seat ready prepared for him in hell." "Within three days," cried the enchanter, loudly, "fetch Rinaldo and Ricciardetto into the pass of Roncesvalles.
"He has been conquering and baptizing the world, east and west," said the demon, "and is now in Egypt with Ricciardetto." "And what has Gan been plotting with Marsilius?" inquired Malagigi; "and what is to come of it?" "I know not," said the devil. "I was not attending to Gan at the time, and we fallen spirits know not the future.
