"Ride fast," he says, "and take good care not to be so rash as to speak to me of anything you may see. Take care never to speak to me, unless I address you first.

keep in mind my companions, and give them horses and arms and all that knight may need." The King cannot keep back the tears when he is parted from his son. The people round about weep too; the ladies and knights shed tears and make great moan for him. There is not one who does not mourn, and many a one in the courtyard swoons. Weeping, they kiss and embrace him, and are almost beside themselves with grief. I think they would not have been more sad if they had seen him dead or wounded. Then Erec said to comfort them: "My lords, why do you weep so sore? I am neither in prison nor wounded. You gain nothing by this display of grief. If I go away, I shall come again when it please God and when I can. To God I commend you one and all; so now let me go; too long you keep me here. I am sorry and grieved to see you weep." To God he commends them and they him. (Vv. 2765-2924.) So they departed, leaving sorrow behind them. Erec starts, and leads his wife he knows not whither, as chance dictates. T BE OTHERWISE I GO NOW AND TO GOD COMMEND YOU BUT KEEP IN MIND MY COMPANIONS AND GIVE THEM HORSES AND ALMS AND ALL THAT KNIGHT MAY NEED THE KING CANNOT KEEP BACK THE TEARS WHEN HE HAS PARTED FROM HIS SON THE PEOPLE ROUND ABOUT WEEP TOO THE LADIES AND KNIGHTS SHED TEARS AND MAKE GREAT MOAN FOR HIM THERE IS NOT ONE WHO DOES NOT MOURN AND MANY A ONE IN THE COURTYARD SWOONS WEEPING THEY KISS AND EMBRACE HIM AND ARE ALMOST BESIDE THEMSELVES WITH GRIEF I THINK THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE SAD IF THEY HAD SEEN HIM DEAD OR WOUNDED THEN ERIC SAID TO COMFORT THEM MY LORDS WHY DO YOU WEEP SO SORE I AM NEITHER IN PRISON NOR WOUNDED GAIN NOTHING BY THIS DISPLAY OF GRIEF IF I GO AWAY I SHALL COME AGAIN WHEN IT PLEASE GOD AND WHEN I CAN TO GOD I COMMAND YOU ONE AND ALL SO NOW LET ME GO TOO LONG YOU KEEP ME HERE I AM SORRY AND GRIEVED TO SEE YOU WEEP TO GOD HE COMMENDS THEM AND THEY HIM SO THEY DEPARTED LEAVING SORROW BEHIND THEM ERIC STARTS AND LEADS HIS WIFE HE KNOWS NOT WHITHER AS CHANCE DICTATES
