Even the maidens at their song leave off their singing and desist, as all together they look at him; and because of his great beauty they cross themselves, and marvellously they pity him. One to another whispers low: "Alas! This knight, who is passing, is on his way to the 'Joy of the Court.' EVEN THE MAIDENS AT THEIR SONG LEAVE OFF THEIR SINGING AND DESIST AS ALTOGETHER THEY LOOK AT HIM AND BECAUSE OF HIS GREAT BEAUTY THEY CROSS THEMSELVES AND MARVELLOUSLY THEY PITY HIM ONE TO ANOTHER WHISPERS LOW ALAS THIS KNIGHT WHO IS PASSING IS ON HIS WAY TO THE JOY OF THE COURT
nt your prayer, that you may find joy and return without mishap. I clearly see that we must go in. Since otherwise it may not be, let us go in. Our lodging is secured; for no knight of high degree, as I have heard it said and told, can enter this castle with intent to lodge here but that King Evrain offers to shelter him. So gentle and courteous is the King that he has given notice to all his townsmen, appealing to their love for him, that any gentleman from afar should not find lodging in their houses, so that he himself may do honour to all gentlemen who may wish to tarry here." (Vv. 5493-5668.)

Marvelling much, they stare at him; the whole town was stirred and moved, as they take counsel and discuss about him.
