“For in complete assurance that you are
“A real offset of our ancient tree,
“You could no better testimony bear
“Than the tried valour which in you we see;
“If your demeanour more pacific were,
“We ill should have believed your ancestry:
“Since neither lion from the doe proceeds,
“Nor fearful pigeon, hawk or eagle breeds.”
XXXIV.
While neither they through talk their journey stay,
Neither through speed abate their talk, those two
Reached the pavilions where the kinsmen lay:
There good Rinaldo, crying to his crew,
‘That this was Guido, whom so many a day
‘They had impatiently desired to view,’
Much pleased the friendly troop; and, at his sight
All like his father deemed the stranger knight.
XXXV.
I will not tell what welcome to the peer
Made Richardet, Alardo, and those twain;
What Malagigi, what Sir Aldigier,
And gallant Vivian, of that kindred train;
What every captain, every cavalier;
What Guido spake, what they replied again:
I for conclusion of my tale will say,
He was well greeted of the whole array.
