The die is cast, for I shall never draw back from anything I have undertaken without exerting all my strength before I quit the field." "I know that well," the King replied; "you are acting against my will. THE DIE IS CAST FOR I SHALL NEVER DRAW BACK FROM ANYTHING I HAVE UNDERTAKEN WITHOUT EXERTING ALL MY STRENGTH BEFORE I QUIT THE FIELD I KNOW THAT WELL THE KING REPLIED YOU ARE ACTING AGAINST MY WILL
ollow my advice. I am not at all surprised that you desire honour and fame; but if I should see you harmed or injured in your body I should be distressed at heart. And know well that I have seen many a man ruined who solicited this joy. They were never any the better for it, but rather did they all die and perish. Before to-morrow's evening come you may expect a like reward. If you wish to strive for the Joy, you shall do so, though it grieve me sore. It is something from which you are free to retreat and draw back if you wish to work your welfare. Therefore I tell you, for I should commit treachery and do you wrong were I not to tell you all the truth." Erec hears him and admits that the King with reason counsels him. But the greater the wonder and the more perilous the adventure, the more he covets it and yearns for it, saying: "Sire, I can tell you that I find you a worthy and a loyal man, and I can put no blame on you. I wish to undertake this boon, however it may fall out with me.  IMPRUDENT ON YOUR PART NOT TO FOLLOW MY ADVICE I AM NOT AT ALL SURPRISED THAT YOU DESIRE HONOUR AND FAME BUT IF I SHOULD SEE YOU HARMED OR INJURED IN YOUR BODY I SHOULD BE DISTRESSED AT HEART AND KNOW WELL THAT I HAVE SEEN MANY A MAN RUINED WHO SOLICITED THIS JOY THEY WERE NEVER ANY BETTER FOR IT BUT RATHER DID THEY ALL DIE AND PERISH BEFORE TO MORROW'S EVENING COME YOU MAY EXPECT A LIKE REWARD IF YOU WISH TO STRIVE FOR THE JOY YOU SHALL DO SO THOUGH IT GRIEVE ME SORE IT IS SOMETHING FROM WHICH YOU ARE FREE TO RETREAT AND DRAW BACK IF YOU WISH TO WORK YOUR WELFARE THEREFORE I TELL YOU FOR I SHOULD COMMIT TREACHERY AND DO YOU WRONG WERE I NOT TO TELL YOU ALL THE TRUTH EREC HEARS HIM AND ADMITS THAT THE KING WITH REASON COUNSELS HIM BUT THE GREATER THE WONDER AND THE MORE PERILOUS THE ADVENTURE THE MORE HE COVETS IT AND YEARNS FOR IT SAYING SIRE I CAN TELL YOU THAT I FIND YOU A WORTHY AND A LOYAL MAN AND I PUT NO BLAME ON YOU I WISH TO UNDERTAKE THIS BOON HOWEVER IT MAY FALL OUT WITH ME
