The Count goes off to his own dwelling, and leaves Erec with the vavasor, saying that he will bear him company in the morning when he leaves. All that night they slept well. In the morning, when the dawn was bright, Erec prepares to start, commanding his horses to be saddled. His fair sweetheart, too, awakes, dresses, and makes ready. THE COUNT GOES OFF TO HIS OWN DWELLING AND LEAVES ERIC WITH THE VAVASOR SAYING THAT HE WILL BEAR HIM COMPANY IN THE MORNING WHEN HE LEAVES ALL THAT NIGHT THEY SLEPT WELL IN THE MORNING WHEN THE DAWN WAS BRIGHT ERIC REPAIRS TO START COMMANDING HIS HORSES TO BE SADDLED HIS FAIR SWEETHEART TOO AWAKES DRESSES AND MAKES READY

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. 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 they all separated, after an evening agreeably spent.
