A Norman clerk composed two songs on this sad death, one against the English, the other for them. The first, which is the better, closes with a couplet, worthy in its profound wisdom of King Solomon himself:[519] Certes le duc de Bedefort Se sage est, il se tendra Avec sa femme en ung fort, Chaudement le mieulx[520] que il porra, De bon ypocras finera, Garde son corps, lesse la guerre: Povre et riche porrist en terre.[521] [Footnote 518: _Trial_, vol. iv, p. 345. _Chronique de la Pucelle_, p. 263. _Journal du siege_, p. 10.

He looks after himself, leaves warfare and the poor and rich to rot in the ground.]
