To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
THE INVASION OF FRANCE. 91 *^ Vfle thief/' he cried, ** dismount from that horse, and prevent the punishment that is ypur due for daring to rpb me of my property. Leave, also, the princess in my hands; for it would indeed be a sin to suffer so charming a lady and so gallant a charger to remain in such keeping." The king of Circassia, furious at being thus insulted, cried out, " Thou liest, villain, in giving me the name of thief, which better belongs to thyself than to me.
It is true, the beaut...y of this lady and the perfection of this horse are unequalled; come on, then, and let us try which of us is most worthy to possess them." At these words the king of Circassia and Rinaldo attacked one another with all their force, one fighting on foot, the other on horseback. You need not, how- ever, suppose that the Saracen king found any advan* tage in this; for a young page, unused to horseman- ship, could not have failed more completely to manage Bayard than did this accomplished knight. The faith- ful animal loved his master too well to injure him, and refused his aid as well as his obedience to the hand of Sacripant, who could strike but ineffectual blows, the horse backing when he wished him to go forward, and dropping his head and arching his back, throwing out with his legs, so as almost to shake the knight out of the saddle.
