Your army you are to divide into two parts, as you know very well how to do.

One part thereof shall fall upon Grangousier and his forces.

By it shall he be easily at the very first shock routed, and then shall you get money by heaps, for the clown hath store of ready coin.

Clown we call him, because a noble and generous prince hath never a penny, and that to hoard up treasure is but a clownish trick.

The other part of the army, in the meantime, shall draw towards Onys, Xaintonge, Angomois, and Gascony.
