Thus she admonishes and reproaches herself, but she closes her mouth and grits her teeth so that her speech cannot issue forth. At strife with herself, she said: "I am sure and certain that I shall incur a grievous loss, if here I lose my lord. Shall I tell him all, then, openly? THUS SHE ADMONISHES AND REPROACHES HERSELF BUT SHE CLOSES HER MOUTH AND GRITS HER TEETH SO THAT HER SPEECH CANNOT ISSUE FORTH AT STRIFE WITH HERSELF SHE SAID I AM SURE AND CERTAIN THAT I SHALL INCUR A GRIEVOUS LOSS IF HERE I LOSE MY LORD SHALL I TELL HIM ALL THEN OPENLY
hen behold the knight comes tearing down over the top of the hill, mounted upon a powerful steed which tore along at such a pace that he crushed the stones beneath his hoofs finer than a millstone grinds the corn; and bright gleaming sparks flew off in all directions, so that it seemed as if his four feet were all ablaze with fire. Enide heard the noise and commotion, and almost fell from her palfrey, helpless and in a faint. There was no vein in her body in which the blood did not turn, and her face became all pale and white as if she were a corpse. Great is her despair and dismay, for she does not dare to address her lord, who often threatens and chides at her and charges her to hold her peace. She is distracted between two courses to pursue, whether to speak or to hold her peace. She takes counsel with herself, and often she prepares to speak, so that her tongue already moves, but the voice cannot issue forth; for her teeth are clenched with fear, and thus shut up her speech within.
