"Lady," says he, "have our horses quickly saddled; then run and call our host, and tell him quickly to come here. Treason has been long abroad." LADY SAYS HE HAVE OUR HORSES QUICKLY SADDLED THEN RUN AND CALL OUR HOST AND TELL HIM QUICKLY TO COME HERE TREASON HAS BEEN LONG ABROAD
er word, they will be ready to depart. (Vv. 3459-3662.) Erec slept all night long securely until daylight. Then Enide realised and suspected that she might hesitate too long. Her heart was tender toward her lord, like a good and loyal lady. Her heart was neither deceitful nor false. So she rises and makes ready, and drew near to her lord to wake him up. "Ah, sire," says she, "I crave your pardon. Rise quickly now, for you are betrayed beyond all doubt, though guiltless and free from any crime. The Count is a proven traitor, and if he can but catch you here, you will never get away without his having cut you in pieces. He hates you because he desires me. But if it please God, who knows all things, you shall be neither slain nor caught. Last evening he would have killed you had I not assured him that I would be his mistress and his wife. You will see him return here soon: he wants to seize me and keep me here and kill you if he can find you." Now Erec learns how loyal his wife is to him.  CAN BRING IT ABOUT AND IF HER LORD WILL TAKE HER WORD THEY WILL BE READY TO DEPART EREC SLEPT ALL NIGHT LONG SECURELY UNTIL DAYLIGHT THEN ANIDE REALIZED AND SUSPECTED THAT SHE MIGHT HESITATE TOO LONG HER HEART WAS TENDER TOWARD HER LORD LIKE A GOOD AND LOYAL LADY HER HEART WAS NEITHER DECEITFUL NOR FALSE SO SHE RISES AND MAKES READY AND DREW NEAR TO HER LORD TO WAKE HIM UP AH SIRE SAYS SHE I CRAVE YOUR PARDON RISE QUICKLY NOW FOR YOU ARE BETRAYED BEYOND ALL DOUBT THOUGH GUILTLESS AND FREE FROM ANY CRIME THE COUNT IS A PROVEN TRAITOR AND IF HE CAN BUT CATCH YOU HERE YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY WITHOUT HIS HAVING CUT YOU IN PIECES HE HATES YOU BECAUSE HE DESIRES ME BUT IF IT PLEASES GOD WHO KNOWS ALL THINGS YOU SHALL BE NEITHER SLAIN NOR CAUGHT LAST EVENING HE WOULD HAVE KILLED YOU HAD I NOT ASSURED HIM THAT I WOULD BE HIS MISTRESS AND HIS WIFE YOU WILL SEE HIM RETURN HERE SOON HE WANTS TO SEIZE ME AND KEEP ME HERE AND KILL YOU IF HE CAN FIND YOU NOW ERIC LEARNS HOW LOYAL HIS WIFE IS TO HIM
