Then he jumps on the maned palfrey, which is now ready for inspection. When Erec saw the animal, he did not spare his praise, for he could see that he was very fine and gentle. So he bade a servant lead him back and hitch him in the stable beside his own horse. THEN HE JUMPS ON THE MAIN PALFREY WHICH IS NOW READY FOR INSPECTION WHEN ERIC SAW THE ANIMAL HE DID NOT SPARE HIS PRAISE FOR HE COULD SEE HE WAS VERY FINE AND GENTLE SO HE BADE A SERVANT LEAD HIM BACK AND HITCH HIM IN THE STABLE BESIDE HIS OWN HORSE
e good palfreys, as good as any of king or count, one sorrel, one dappled, and the other black with white forefeet. Upon my word, if you had a hundred to pick from, you would not find a better one than the dappled mount. The birds in the air do not fly more swiftly than the palfrey; and he is not too lively, but just suits a lady. A child can ride him, for he is neither skittish nor balky, nor does he bite nor kick nor become unmanageable. Any one who is looking for something better does not know what he wants. And his pace is so easy and gentle that a body is more comfortable and easy on his back than in a boat." Then said Erec: "My dear, I have no objection to her accepting this gift; indeed, I am pleased with the offer, and do not wish her to refuse it." Then the damsel calls one of her trusty servants, and says to him: "Go, friend, saddle my dappled palfrey, and lead him here at once." And he carries out her command: he puts on saddle and bridle and strives to make him appear well. RENT GIFT I WISH TO MAKE HER I HAVE THREE GOOD PALFREYS AS GOOD AS ANY KING OR COUNT ONE SORREL ONE DAPPLED AND THE OTHER BLACK WITH WHITE FOREFEET UPON MY WORD IF YOU HAD A HUNDRED TO PICK FROM YOU SHOULD NOT FIND A BETTER ONE THAN THE DAPPLED NOTE THE BIRDS OF THE AIR DO NOT FLY MORE SWIFTLY THAN THE PALFREY AND HE IS NOT TOO LIVELY BUT JUST SUITS A LADY A CHILD CAN RIDE IN FOR HE IS NEITHER SKITTISH NOR BULKY NOR DOES HE BITE NOR KICK NOR BECOME UNMANAGEABLE ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING BETTER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE WANTS AND HIS PACE IS SO EASY AND GENTLE THAT A BODY IS MORE COMFORTABLE AND EASY ON HIS BACK THAN IN A BOAT THEN SAID ERIC MY DEAR I HAVE NO OBJECTION TO HER ACCEPTING THIS GIFT INDEED I AM PLEASED WITH THE OFFER AND DO NOT WISH HER TO REFUSE IT THEN THE DAMSEL CALLS ONE OF HER TRUSTY SERVANTS AND SAYS TO HIM GO FRIEND SADDLE MY DAPPLED PALFREY AND LEAD HIM HERE AT ONCE AND HE CARRIES OUT HER COMMAND HE PUTS ON SADDLE AND BRIDLE AND STRIVES TO MAKE HIM APPEAR WELL
