When they had eaten and drunk their fill, Erec was courteous and generous. "Friend," says he, "as a reward, I wish to present you with one of my horses. WHEN THEY HAD EATEN AND DRUNK THEIR FILL ERIC WAS COURTEOUS AND GENEROUS FRIEND SAYS HE AS A REWARD I WISH TO PRESENT YOU WITH ONE OF MY HORSES
it not in hope of reward: for I ask and demand nothing of you. The cakes are made of good wheat; I have good wine and rich cheeses, too, a white cloth and fine jugs. If you feel like taking lunch, you need not seek any farther. Beneath these white beeches, here on the greensward, you might lay off your arms and rest yourself a while. My advice is that you dismount." Erec got down from his horse and said: "Fair gentle friend, I thank you kindly: I will eat something, without going farther." The young man knew well what to do: he helped the lady from her horse, and the boys who had come with the squire held the steeds. Then they go and sit down in the shade. The squire relieves Erec of his helmet, unlaces the mouth-piece from before his face; then he spreads out the cloth before them on the thick tuff. He passes them the cake and wine, and prepares and cuts a cheese. Hungry as they were, they helped themselves, and gladly drank of the wine. The squire serves them and omits no attention.  E YOU TO PARTAKE IN IT I SAY IT NOT IN HOPE OF REWARD FOR I ASK AND DEMAND NOTHING OF YOU THE CAKES ARE MADE OF GOOD WHEAT I HAVE GOOD WINE AND RICH CHEESES TOO A WHITE CLOTH AND FINE JUGS IF YOU FEEL LIKE TAKING LUNCH YOU NEED NOT SEEK ANY FARTHER BENEATH THESE WHITE BEECHES HERE ON THE GREEN SWARD YOU MIGHT LAY OFF YOUR ARMS AND REST YOURSELF FOR A WHILE MY ADVICE IS THAT YOU DISMOUNT ERIC GOT DOWN FROM HIS HORSE AND SAID FAIR GENTLE FRIEND I THANK YOU KINDLY I WILL EAT SOMETHING WITHOUT GOING FARTHER THE YOUNG MAN KNEW WELL WHAT TO DO HE HELPED THE LADY FROM HER HORSE AND THE BOYS WHO HAD COME WITH THE SQUIRE HELD THE STEEDS THEN THEY GO AND SIT DOWN IN THE SHADE THE SQUIRE RELIEVES ERIC OF HIS HELMET AND LACES THE MOUTHPIECE FROM BEFORE HIS FACE THEN HE SPREADS OUT THE CLOTH BEFORE THEM ON A THICK TUFT HE PASSES THEM THE CAKE AND WINE AND PREPARES AND CUTS A CHEESE HUNGRY AS THEY WERE THEY HELPED THEMSELVES AND GLADLY DRANK OF THE WINE THE SQUIRE SERVES THEM AND OMITS NO ATTENTION
