Since I knew the good there was in her, I could nor reveal or show to the one whom I hold most dear that in all this I was displeased; for if she had noticed it, she would have withdrawn her heart, and I would not have had it so for anything that might happen. SINCE I KNEW THE GOOD THERE WAS IN HER I COULD NOR REVEAL OR SHOW TO THE ONE WHOM I HOLD MOST DEAR THAT IN ALL THIS I WAS DISPLEASED FOR IF SHE HAD NOTICED IT SHE WOULD HAVE WITHDRAWN HER HEART AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD IT SO FOR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT HAPPEN
er sits, loved me from childhood and I loved her. It pleased us both, and our love grew and increased, until she asked a boon of me, but did not tell me what it was. Who would deny his mistress aught? There is no lover but would surely do all his sweet-heart's pleasure without default or guile, whenever he can in any way. I agreed to her desire; but when I had agreed, she would have it, too, that I should swear. I would have done more than that for her, but she took me at my word. I made her a promise, without knowing what. Time passed until I was made a knight. King Evrain, whose nephew I am, dubbed me a knight in the presence of many honourable men in this very garden where we are. My lady, who is sitting there, at once recalled to me my word, and said that I had promised her that I would never go forth from here until there should come some knight who should conquer me by trial of arms. It was right that I should remain, for rather than break my word, I should never have pledged it. Y COST ME THAT DAMSEL WHO YONDER SITS LOVED ME FROM CHILDHOOD AND I LOVED HER IT PLEASED US BOTH AND OUR LOVE GREW AND INCREASED UNTIL SHE ASKED A BOON OF ME BUT DID NOT TELL ME WHAT IT WAS WHO WOULD DENY HIS MISTRESS AUGHT THERE IS NO LOVER BUT WOULD SURELY DO ALL HIS SWEETHEART'S PLEASURE WITHOUT DEFAULT OR GUILE WHENEVER HE CAN IN ANY WAY I AGREED TO HER DESIRE BUT WHEN I HAD AGREED SHE WOULD HAVE IT TOO THAT I SHOULD SWEAR I WOULD HAVE DONE MORE THAN THAT FOR HER BUT SHE TOOK ME AT MY WORD I MADE HER A PROMISE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT TIME PASSED UNTIL I WAS MADE A KNIGHT KING EVRAIN WHOSE NEPHEW I AM DUBBED ME A KNIGHT IN THE PRESENCE OF MANY HONOURABLE MEN IN THIS VERY GARDEN WHERE WE ARE MY LADY WHO IS SITTING THERE AT ONCE RECALLED TO ME MY WORD AND SAID THAT I HAD PROMISED HER THAT I WOULD NEVER GO FORTH FROM HERE UNTIL THERE SHOULD COME SOME KNIGHT WHO SHOULD CONQUER ME BY TRIAL OF ARMS IT WAS RIGHT THAT I SHOULD REMAIN FOR RATHER THAN BREAK MY WORD I SHOULD NEVER HAVE PLEDGED IT
