"[...] Marsile has taken flight, Yet there remains his uncle Marganice, That governs Carthage, Alfrere and Garamile, And Ethiope, a land accursed and vile. In his command are all the Negro tribes; Thick are their noses, their ears are very wide; Full fifty thousand are gathered in their lines, Boldly and fast and furiously they ride, Yelling aloud the Paynim battle-cry."
