Seite 370 - I do not mean to say the English did not acquit themselves well; for they would sooner be slain or made prisoners in battle than reproached with flight.

This course was much praised. At the second course they hit each other slightly, but no harm was done ; and their horses refused to complete the third.
Seite 97 - In short, everything considered, though I had before been in several courts of kings, dukes, princes, counts, and noble ladies, I was never at one which pleased me more, nor was I ever more delighted with feats of arms, than at this of the count de Foix.
