Qa. on a time an Emperor, a man of might
— and tame,
Married a wife. and fair was she, and Bellisant her
Namie ;}
And fair and happy were their lives, until an evil man
(He was the High Priest of the Court) an evil tale
began.
Of how the ladv was not true unto her husband dear :
The Emperor believed the tale, and rose up In great
fear,
And drove poor Bellisant away; in haste and dire
mischafice
She took her way to Pepin’s Court (her brother, King
of France).
