"Chram is not King in this burg, Neroweg," cried Sigefrid, one of the principal starters of the quarrel that was allayed just as Karadeucq entered the hall with his bear. "No, King Chram cannot by a word deprive us of an amusement that it pleases you to afford us. Neroweg is King in his burg." "No, no," loudly chimed in the other warriors of the count, "we want to see the fight with the bear.
"Neroweg!" cried Chram interposing, as his favorite, who had shaken himself loose from Sigefrid, rushed at the count with upraised sword, "are you all fools to quarrel in this manner? Lion, I order you to put up your sword." "Oh, great St.
"Three cheers for Sigefrid, wine, beer and venison!" "But keep a close watch on the prisoners let not one of you step aside keep your eyes wide open." "Oh, those dogs do not move any more down there than if they had fallen asleep forever under the cold ground, where they will be to-morrow. You need not fear, Sigefrid."
Who has the key to the railing?" At the very moment when Sigefrid was handing the key to the Frankish warrior his eyes fell upon Karadeucq. "What are you doing there, old vagabond?" "Noble youth, frightened by the fire, my bear has escaped; I am running after him he has crouched down yonder not far from the railing. Alas, what a misfortune this fire is!"
So you see, Sigefrid, your precautions, however wise, are superfluous." "All the same, keep close watch until to-morrow. It is only one night of watch to you." "And we shall spend it merrily, drinking and singing." "They seem to be merry in the banquet hall, Sigefrid. Tell us what is going on."
"Finally, in order to complete the scene, I just learn that a mountebank with a dancing bear and a monkey has been let into the burg. Neroweg proposed the amusement to King Chram, and the steward issued orders to admit the man and his animals in the banquet hall. They were sent for amid the shouts of glee of the whole convivial party. I want to go back quick and share the sport." "Happy Sigefrid!
He will see the gambols of the bear and the grimaces of the monkey." "Now, boys, I promise you that after the King has enjoyed himself, I shall request the count to have the mountebank sent to this part of the house with his animals, so that you also may be amused by him." "Sigefrid, you are a good companion!" "But always keep your eyes upon the prisoners." "Be easy!
"Boys, let us defend Neroweg!" Sigefrid called out to his fellow leudes of the count. "This is a good opportunity to prove to the braggards that our rough-looking swords are better than their parade weapons! To arms! Down with them to the last man!" "And we also to arms! let us settle accounts with these dogs of the basement! They think they are strong, because they are on their own dunghill.
"Outside of the seigneur King, the bishop or Neroweg, whosoever should approach the iron railing to speak with the prisoners " "Will instantly fall under our axes, Sigefrid they are sharp and heavy." "At the slightest event, let the horns blow the alarm we shall then immediately rush to your aid." "Those are all wise precautions, Sigefrid, but superfluous.
Let us slash these rustics!" "Ha, bastard dogs!" cried Neroweg between whom and the Lion of Poitiers Sigefrid had thrown himself. "You speak of swords here is one for you, and of good temper; you will taste it, profligate blasphemer, who have of a lion only the name! To me, my leudes! they have raised their hands against your count! Let us slash the royal bodyguard!"
