A tall, strong man was running away past by Cæsar, who putting his hand upon him, ordered him to stand and face the enemy; but the man, who was completely confounded by the danger, raised his sword to strike him, on which Cæsar's shield-bearer struck the man first and cut off his shoulder.
On these occasions, he seats himself in his own savage chair, and is attended by his shield-bearer: who holds over his head a shield of cowhide in shape like an immense mussel shell fearfully and wonderfully, after the manner of a theatrical supernumerary.
"We will declare," said Danveld in a feeble voice, "that the shield-bearer murdered de Fourcy." "It is their latest crime and the culprit is known!" added Rotgier. In the meanwhile, the Czech rushed as fast as he could to the prince's hunting residence, and finding the prince still there, he told him first, what had happened.
Hearing this, Macko looked approvingly at his nephew; he was pleased that in spite of his youth, he understood much of warfare; therefore he smiled and murmured: "Our true blood!" But Hlawa, the shield-bearer, was more glad than Macko, because there was nothing he loved more than war.
Having perceived him, Hugo von Danveld quickly exclaimed: "Whoever this man is he must die." And von Loeve, who although the oldest among the brothers, had very keen eyesight, said: "I recognize him; it is that shield-bearer who killed the bison with an axe. Yes; it is he!"

In the background, a plain covered with camps and soldiers, Totila sends forth his servant, and in the foreground the Saint, surrounded by four monks, proclaims to him his identity.
Second in valour, he says, to none of the Heroes. Again and again his shield is full of darts. Without moving a foot, without turning an inch right or left, says Procopius, he catches another from his shield-bearer, and fights on.
But he replied that no death was so dreadful as to make Publius, through fear of it, desert those who were losing their lives for his sake, and bade them save themselves, and taking leave of them, he allowed them to go: himself being unable to use his hand effectually, for it was pierced by an arrow, presented his side to his shield-bearer and ordered him to despatch him with his sword.
But neither that day nor the following day, did the shield resound from a blow; and in the afternoon the sorrowful knight was ready to pursue his journey. Before that, however, Sanderus came to Zbyszko and said to him: "Sir, if you hang your shield in the land of the Prussian lords, I am sure your shield-bearer will buckle your armor." "What do you mean!
Mesopotamian Greeks, who were accurately acquainted with the country, adjured Crassus to ride off with them and make an attempt to escape; but he refused to separate his fate from that of the brave men whom his too-daring courage had led to death, and he caused himself to be stabbed by the hand of his shield-bearer.
