He called together the knights, and addressed them thus : " Gentlemen, if any of you think yourselves not safe in this place, the port is not yet so closely blockaded, but that you may find means to get out. " And then he added, with a stern expression and measured tones, " but if any of you think fit to stay with me, speak no more of capitulation ; for if you do, your lives shall pay for it.
