All his Franks had perished save two, the archbishop, and Walter of Hum, the latter wounded and dying fast. Yet the three surviving Franks fought hotly. Roland left not one of a score alive, Walter slew six, five were slain by the arch- bishop. The heathen pour down upon them. A thousand Saracens are struck from their steeds, yet forty thousand remain in the saddle.
Walter was slain and the steed of the archbishop dropped dead. Turpin fell to the ground with four lance wounds in him, but he spr...ang up, and con- tinued to deal about him deadly blows.

Roland fought on, his body burning and bathed in sweat, a mighty pain in his brow, since his temple had burst when he sounded his horn ; yet he lifted his horn once more, and blew a faint and feeble note.
The emperor listened and stood still. "That," he said, " is the blast of a dying man. Sound every trump our ranks possess.'* Sixty thousand clarions pealed forth, the hills echoed, the vales replied.
