Not one of them halted then, but all rushed on in rivalry. Enide hears the clang and noise of their arms and horses, and sees that the valley is full of them. As soon as she saw them, she could not restrain her tongue. "Ah, sire," she cries, "alas, how this Count has attacked you, when he leads against you such a host! Sire, ride faster now, until we be within this wood. I think we can easily distance them, for they are still a long way behind. NOT ONE OF THEM HALTED THEN BUT ALL RUSHED ON IN RIVALRY AND NEED HEARS THE CLANG AND NOISE OF THEIR ARMS AND HORSES AND SEES THAT THE VALLEY IS FULL OF THEM AS SOON AS SHE SAW THEM SHE COULD NOT RESTRAIN HER TONGUE AH SIRE SHE CRIES ALAS HOW THIS COUNT HAS ATTACKED YOU WHEN HE LEADS AGAINST YOU SUCH A HOST SIRE RIDE FASTER NOW UNTIL WE BE WITHIN THIS WOOD I THINK WE CAN EASILY DISTANCE THEM FOR THEY ARE STILL A LONG WAY BEHIND
eave, and they set out upon their way. As they ride, he frequently warns Enide that if she sees anything she should not be so bold as to speak to him about it. Meanwhile, there entered the house a hundred knights well armed, and very much dismayed they were to find Erec no longer there. Then the Count learned that the lady had deceived him. He discovered the footsteps of the horses, and they all followed the trail, the Count threatening Erec and vowing that, if he can come up with him, nothing can keep him from having his head on the spot. "A curse on him who now hangs back, and does not spur on fast!" quoth he; "he who presents me with the head of the knight whom I hate so bitterly, will have served me to my taste." Then they plunge on at topmost speed, filled with hostility toward him who had never laid eyes on them and had never harmed them by deed or word. They ride ahead until they made him out; at the edge of a forest they catch sight of him before he was hid by the forest trees. EREC MOUNTS AND TAKES HIS LEAVE AND THEY SET OUT UPON THEIR WAY AS THEY RIDE HE FREQUENTLY WARNS THE NEED THAT IF SHE SEES ANYTHING SHE SHOULD NOT BE SO BOLD AS TO SPEAK TO HIM ABOUT IT MEANWHILE THERE ENTERED THE HOUSE A HUNDRED KNIGHTS WELL ARMED AND VERY MUCH DISMAYED THEY WERE TO FIND EREC NO LONGER THERE THEN THE COUNT LEARNED THAT LADY HAD DECEIVED HIM HE DISCOVERED THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE HORSES AND THEY ALL FOLLOWED THE TRAIL THE COUNT THREATENING ERIC AND VOWING THAT IF HE CAN COME UP WITH HIM NOTHING CAN KEEP HIM FROM HAVING HIS HEAD ON THE SPOT A CURSE ON HIM WHO NOW HANGS BACK AND DOES NOT SPUR ON FAST QUOTH HE HE WHO PRESENTS ME WITH THE HEAD OF THE KNIGHT WHOM I HATE SO BITTERLY WILL HAVE SERVED ME TO MY TASTE THEN THEY PLUNGE ON AT TOPMOST SPEED FILLED WITH HOSTILITY TOWARD HIM WHO HAD NEVER LAID EYES ON THEM AND HAD NEVER HARMED THEM BY DEED OR WORD THEY RIDE AHEAD UNTIL THEY MADE HIM OUT AT THE EDGE OF A FOREST THEY CATCH SIGHT OF HIM BEFORE HE WAS HID BY THE FOREST TREES
