Even Tristan, when he slew fierce Morhot on Saint Samson's isle [113], awakened no such jubilee as they celebrated here over Erec. Great and small, thin and stout  all make much of him and praise his knighthood. There is not a knight but cries: "Lord what a vassal! EVEN TRISTAN WHEN HE SLEW FIERCE MORHOT ON SAINT SAMSON'S ISLE AWAKENED NO SUCH JUBILEE AS A CELEBRATED HERE OVER EREC GREAT AND SMALL THIN AND STOUT ALL MAKE MUCH OF HIM AND PRAISE HIS KNIGHTHOOD THERE IS NOT A KNIGHT BUT CRIES LORD WHAT A VASSAL
id: "Sire, did you hear? You have done well to wait for Erec, the valiant knight. I gave you good advice yesterday, when I counselled you to await his return. This proves that it is wise to take advice." The King replies: "That is no lie; rather is it perfectly true that he who takes advice is no fool. Happily we followed your advice yesterday. But if you care anything for me, release this knight from his durance, provided he consent to join henceforth my household and court; and if he does not consent, let him suffer the consequence." When the King had thus spoken, the Queen straightway released the knight; but it was on this condition, that he should remain in the future at the court. He did not have to be urged before he gave his consent to stay. Now he was of the court and household to which he had not before belonged. Then valets were at hand to run and relieve him of his arms. (Vv. 1244-1319.) Now we must revert to Erec, whom we left in the field where the battle had taken place. N THE QUEEN AROSE AND GOING BEFORE THE KING SAID SIRE DID YOU HEAR YOU HAVE DONE WELL TO WAIT FOR EREC THE VALIANT KNIGHT I GAVE YOU GOOD ADVICE YESTERDAY WHEN I COUNSELLED YOU TO AWAIT HIS RETURN THIS PROVES THAT IT IS WISE TO TAKE ADVICE THE KING REPLIES THAT IS NO LIE RATHER IT IS PERFECTLY TRUE THAT HE WHO TAKES ADVICE IS NO FOOL HAPPILY WE FOLLOWED YOUR ADVICE YESTERDAY BUT IF YOU CARE ANYTHING FOR ME RELEASE THIS KNIGHT FROM HIS DURANCE PROVIDED HE CONSENT TO JOIN HENCEFORTH MY HOUSEHOLD IN COURT AND IF HE DOES NOT CONSENT LET HIM SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCE WHEN THE KING HAD THUS SPOKEN THE QUEEN STRAIGHTWAY RELEASED THE KNIGHT BUT IT WAS ON THIS CONDITION THAT HE SHOULD REMAIN IN THE FUTURE AT THE COURT HE DID NOT HAVE TO BE URGED BEFORE HE GAVE HIS CONSENT TO STAY NOW HE WAS OF THE COURT AND HOUSEHOLD TO WHICH HE HAD NOT BEFORE BELONGED THEN BALLADS WERE AT HAND TO RUN AND RELIEVE HIM OF HIS ARMS NOW WE MUST REVERT TO EIREK WHOM HE LEFT IN THE FIELD WHERE THE BATTLE HAD TAKEN PLACE
