DE NOBILITATE ET MORIBUS ROLANDI. xix
vocem accurrentes Saraceni fiifttilerunt eum, portantes manibus verfiis opiiidum. Rolandus
vero iam iiicolumis ad fuos redierat, et ftatira Chriftiani vna cum Saracenis qui IVrra-
cutuni deferebant in oppidum, vrbem violento impetu ingrediuntur. Sicque Giijante
perempto, vrbs et caftra capiuntur, et pugnatores a carcere eripiuntur.
II.— DE NOBILITATE ET MORIBUS ROLANDI. *
Non decet hunc igitur vacuis deflere querelis,
Quem la?tum fummi nunc tenet aula poli.
Nobilis antiqua decurrens prole parentum,
Nobilior geftis nunc fuper aftra manet.
Egregius, nulli de nobilitate fecundus,
Moribus excellens, cidmine primus erat.
Templorum cultor, recreans modulamine ciues,
Vulneribus patrije fida medela fuit.
Spes cleri, tutor viduarum, panis egentum,
Largus pauperibus, prodigus hofpitibus.
Sic venerabilibus templis, ilc fiidit egenis,
Mitteret vt coelis quas fequeretur opes.
Dogmata corde tenens plenus velut area libellus,
Quifquis (juid voluit foute fluente bibit.
Conlilio fapiens, animo pius, ore fereuus,
Omnibus vt populis eflet amore parens.
Culmen honoratum, decus almum, lumen opimum,
Laudibus in cuius militet omne decus.
Pro tantis meritis hunc ad coeleftia vedhim,
Non premit vrna rogi, fed tenet aula Dei.
