They were very richly served until Erec suddenly left off eating and drinking, and began speaking of what rested most upon his heart: he remembered 'the Joy', and began a conversation about it in which King Evrain joined.

r he knew right well what he ought to do, without nonsense and without malice. He ordered a chamber to be scented with incense, myrrh, and aloes. When they entered, they all complimented King Evrain on its fine appearance. Hand in hand they enter the room, the King escorting them and taking great pleasure in them. But why should I describe to you the paintings and the silken draperies with which the room was decorated? I should only waste time in folly, and I do not wish to waste it, but rather to hasten on a little; for he who travels the straight road passes him who turns aside; therefore I do not wish to tarry. When the time and hour arrived, the King orders supper to be prepared; but I do not wish to stop over that if I can find some more direct way. That night they had in abundance all that heart desires and craves: birds, venison, and fruit, and wines of different sorts. But better than all is a happy cheer! For of all dishes the sweetest is a joyful countenance and a happy face. IN EVERY WAY HE COULD FOR HE KNEW RIGHT WELL WHAT HE OUGHT TO DO WITHOUT NONSENSE AND WITHOUT MALICE HE ORDERED A CHAMBER TO BE SCENTED WITH INCENSE MYRRH AND ALOES WHEN THEY ENTERED THEY ALL COMPLIMENTED KING EVRAIN ON ITS FINE APPEARANCE HAND IN HAND THEY ENTERED THE ROOM THE KING ESCORTING THEM AND TAKING GREAT PLEASURE IN THEM BUT WHY SHOULD I DESCRIBE TO YOU THE PAINTINGS IN THE SILKEN DRAPERIES WITH WHICH THE ROOM WAS DECORATED I SHOULD ONLY WASTE TIME IN FOLLY AND I DO NOT WISH TO WASTE IT BUT RATHER TO HASTEN ON A LITTLE FOR HE WHO TRAVELS THE STRAIGHT ROAD PASSES HIM WHO TURNS ASIDE THEREFORE I DO NOT WISH TO TARRY WHEN THE TIME AND HOUR ARRIVED THE KING ORDERS SUPPER TO BE PREPARED BUT I DO NOT WISH TO STOP OVER THAT IF I CAN FIND SOME MORE DIRECT WAY THAT NIGHT THEY HAD IN ABUNDANCE ALL THAT HEART DESIRES AND CRAVES BIRDS VENISON AND FRUIT AND WINES OF DIFFERENT SORTS BUT BETTER THAN ALL IS A HAPPY CHEER FOR OF ALL DISHES THE SWEETEST IS A JOYFUL COUNTENANCE AND A HAPPY FACE
