The Fight With the Two Giants

- F. J. H. Darton

Le Beau Disconus leapt on his war-horse and took his arms, and rode towards the fire. When he drew nigh he saw there two giants.
The maiden cried aloud for help. "Alas," she said, "that ever I saw this day!"
Then said Le Beau Disconus, "It were a fair venture to save this maiden from shame. To fight with giants so grim is no child's game."
He rode against them with his spear, and at the first course smote the first giant clean through the body and overthrew him, so that never could he rise again. The maiden, his prisoner, fled from his grasp and betook herself to maid Elene; and they went to the lodge of leaves in the wood and prayed for victory for Le Beau Disconus.
