Never did I weary of arms, nor did I ever refuse to fight. NEVER DID I WEARY OF ARMS AND DID I EVER REFUSE TO FIGHT
 I had promised her that I would never go forth from here until there should come some knight who should conquer me by trial of arms. It was right that I should remain, for rather than break my word, I should never have pledged it. Since I knew the good there was in her, I could nor reveal or show to the one whom I hold most dear that in all this I was displeased; for if she had noticed it, she would have withdrawn her heart, and I would not have had it so for anything that might happen. Thus my lady thought to detain me here for a long stay; she did not think that there would ever enter this garden any vassal who could conquer me. In this way she intended to keep me absolutely shut up with her all the days of my life. And I should have committed an offence if I had had resort to guile and not defeated all those against whom I could prevail; such escape would have been a shame. And I dare to assure you that I have no friend so dear that I would have feigned at all in fighting with him. ND SAID THAT I HAD PROMISED HER THAT I WOULD NEVER GO FORTH FROM HERE UNTIL THERE SHOULD COME SOME KNIGHT WHO SHOULD CONQUER ME BY TRIAL OF ARMS IT WAS RIGHT THAT I SHOULD REMAIN FOR RATHER THAN BREAK MY WORD I SHOULD NEVER HAVE PLEDGED IT SINCE I KNEW THE GOOD THERE WAS IN HER I COULD NOR REVEAL OR SHOW TO THE ONE WHOM I HOLD MOST DEAR THAT IN ALL THIS I WAS DISPLEASED FOR IF SHE HAD NOTICED IT SHE WOULD HAVE WITHDRAWN HER HEART AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD IT SO FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN THUS MY LADY THOUGHT TO DETAIN ME HERE FOR A LONG STAY SHE DID NOT THINK THAT THERE WOULD EVER ENTER THIS GARDEN ANY VASSAL WHO COULD CONQUER ME IN THIS WAY SHE INTENDED TO KEEP ME ABSOLUTELY SHUT UP WITH HER ALL THE DAYS OF MY LIFE AND I SHOULD HAVE COMMITTED AN OFFENCE IF I HAD HAD TO RESORT TO GUILE AND NOT DEFEATED ALL THOSE AGAINST WHOM I COULD PREVAIL SUCH ESCAPE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SHAME AND I DARE TO ASSURE YOU THAT I HAVE NO FRIEND SO DEAR THAT I WOULD HAVE FEIGNED AT ALL IN FIGHTING WITH HIM
