Through a narrow entrance the people entered  King Evrain and all the rest. Erec went riding, lance in rest, into the middle of the garden, greatly delighting in the song of the birds which were singing there; they put him in mind of his Joy the thing he most was longing for. THROUGH A NARROW ENTRANCE THE PEOPLE ENTERED KING EVRAIN AND ALL THE REST EREC WENT RIDING LANCE IN REST INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE GARDEN GREATLY DELIGHTING IN THE SONG OF THE BIRDS WHICH WERE SINGING THERE THEY PUT HIM IN MIND OF HIS JOY THE THING HE MOST WAS LONGING FOR
the whole truth about the garden, according as the story runs. (Vv. 5739-5826.) [138] The garden had around it no wall or fence except of air: yet, by a spell, the garden was on all sides so shut in by the air that nothing could enter there any more than if the garden were enclosed in iron, unless it flew in over the top. And all through the summer and the winter, too, there were flowers and ripe fruits there; and the fruit was of such a nature that it could be eaten inside; the danger consisted in carrying it out; for whoever should wish to carry out a little would never be able to find the gate, and never could issue from the garden until he had restored the fruit to its place. And there is no flying bird under heaven, pleasing to man, but it sings there to delight and to gladden him, and can be heard there in numbers of every kind. And the earth, however far it stretch, bears no spice or root of use in making medicine, but it had been planted there, and was to be found in abundance. AND EXHAUSTION OF TONGUE WITHOUT TELLING YOU THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE GUARD ACCORDING AS THE STORY RUNS THE GARDEN HAD ALL AROUND IT NO WALL OR FENCE EXCEPT OF AIR YET BY A SPELL THE GARDEN WAS ON ALL SIDES SO SHUT IN BY THE AIR THAT NOTHING COULD ENTER THERE ANY MORE THAN IF A GARDEN WERE ENCLOSED IN IRON UNLESS IT FLEW IN OVER THE TOP AND ALL THROUGH THE SUMMER AND THE WINTER TOO THERE WERE FLOWERS AND RIPE FRUITS THERE AND THE FRUIT WAS OF SUCH A NATURE THAT IT COULD BE EATEN INSIDE THE DANGER CONSISTED IN CARRYING IT OUT FOR WHOEVER SHOULD WISH TO CARRY OUT A LITTLE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO FIND THE GATE AND NEVER COULD ISSUE FROM THE GARDEN UNTIL HE HAD RESTORED THE FRUIT TO ITS PLACE AND THERE IS NO FLYING BIRD UNDER HEAVEN PLEASING TO MAN BUT IT SINGS THERE TO DELIGHT AND TO GLADDEN HIM AND CAN BE HEARD THERE IN NUMBERS OF EVERY KIND AND THE EARTH HOWEVER FAR IT STRETCH BEARS NO SPICE OR ROOT OF USE IN MAKING MEDICINE BUT IT HAD BEEN PLANTED THERE AND WAS TO BE FOUND IN ABUNDANCE
