XCIX

　　And Anseis has let his charger run;

　　He goes to strike Turgis of Turtelus,

　　The shield he breaks, its golden boss above,

　　The hauberk too, its doubled mail undoes,

　　His good spear's point into the carcass runs,

　　So well he's thrust, clean through the whole steel comes,

　　And from the hilt he's thrown him dead in dust.

　　Then says Rollant: "Great prowess in that thrust." The Song of Roland
