So she came forth from the work room: and when she saw the knight whom she had never seen before, she drew back a little, because she did not know him, and in her modesty she blushed. Erec, for his part, was amazed when he beheld such beauty in her, and the vavasor said to her: "Fair daughter dear, take this horse and lead him to the stable along with my own horses.

t within her body was fair. (Vv. 411-458.) The maid was charming, in sooth, for Nature had used all her skill in forming her. Nature herself had marvelled more than five hundred times how upon this one occasion she had succeeded in creating such a perfect thing. Never again could she so strive successfully to reproduce her pattern. Nature bears witness concerning her that never was so fair a creature seen in all the world. In truth I say that never did Iseut the Fair have such radiant golden tresses that she could be compared with this maiden. [18] The complexion of her forehead and face was clearer and more delicate than the lily. But with wondrous art her face with all its delicate pallor was suffused with a fresh crimson which Nature had bestowed upon her. Her eyes were so bright that they seemed like two stars. God never formed better nose, mouth, and eyes. What shall I say of her beauty? In sooth, she was made to be looked at; for in her one could have seen himself as in a mirror. SIDES POOR INDEED WAS HER GARB WITHOUT BUT WITHIN HER BODY WAS FAIR THE MAID WAS CHARMING IN SOOTH FOR NATURE HAD USED ALL HER SKILL IN FORMING HER NATURE HERSELF HAD MARVELLED MORE THAN FIVE HUNDRED TIMES HOW UPON THIS ONE OCCASION SHE HAD SUCCEEDED IN CREATING SUCH A PERFECT THING NEVER AGAIN COULD SHE STRIVE SUCCESSFULLY TO REPRODUCE HER PATTERN NATURE BEARS WITNESS CONCERNING HER THAT NEVER WAS SO FAIR A CREATURE SEEN IN ALL THE WORLD IN TRUTH I SAY THAT NEVER DID ISOUD THE FAIR HAVE SUCH RADIANT GOLDEN TRESSES THAT SHE COULD BE COMPARED WITH THIS MAIDEN THE COMPLEXION OF HER FOREHEAD AND FACE WAS CLEARER AND MORE DELICATE THAN THE LILY BUT WITH WONDROUS ART HER FACE WITH ALL ITS DELICATE PALLOR WAS SUFFUSED WITH A FRESH CRIMSON WHICH NATURE HAD BESTOWED UPON HER HER EYES WERE SO BRIGHT THAT THEY SEEMED LIKE TWO STARS GOD NEVER FORMED BETTER NOSE MOUTH AND EYES WHAT SHALL I SAY OF HER BEAUTY IN SOOTH SHE WAS MADE TO BE LOOKED AT FOR IN HER ONE COULD HAVE SEEN HIMSELF AS IN A MIRROR
