Roland feels that he has lost his sight;
He rises to his feet, exerting all his strength.
All the colour has drained from his face.
[2300] Before him lies a dark-hued stone;
On it he strikes ten blows in sorrow and bitterness.
The steel grates, but does not break or become notched;
‘O, Holy Mary,’ said the count, ‘help me!
O, my good sword Durendal, what a fate you have suffered!
[2305] Now that I am dying, I have no more need of you;
With you I have won so many battles in the field
And conquered so many vast lands,
Which Charles with the hoary-white beard now holds.
May you never be owned by a man who flees in battle!
[2310] A very fine vassal has held you for so long;
There will never be such a man in blessed France.’
