The Paladins of France ; and at the sight The Lombard king, o'ercome with terror, cried : " This must be Charlemagne ! " and as before Did Olger answer : " No, not yet, not yet. " And then appeared, in panoply complete, The Bishops and the Abbots and the Priests Of the Imperial Chapel and the Courts ; PA VI A 151 And Desiderio could no more endure The light of day, nor yet encounter death, But sobbed aloud, and said : " Let us go down And hide us in the bosom of the earth, Far from the sight an...d anger of a foe So terrible as this ! " And Olger said : " When you behold the harvests in the fields Shaking with fear, the Po and the Ticino Lashing the city walls with iron waves, Then may you know that Charlemagne is come. " Now, even as he spake, in the north-west, Lo, there uprose a black and threatening cloud Out of whose bosom flashed the light of arms Upon the people pent up in the city ; A light more terrible than any darkness ; And Charlemagne appeared : — a Man of Iron I His helmet was of iron, and his gloves Of iron, and his breastplate and his greaves And tassets were of iron, and his shield.
