en, when they had accompanied them some distance, he said: "In God's name, farewell!" Then the Count kisses Erec and his niece, and commends them both to merciful God. Her father and mother, too, kiss them again and again, and could not keep back their tears: at parting, the mother weeps, the father and the daughter too. For such is love and human nature, and such is affection between parents and children. They wept from sorrow, tenderness, and love which they had for their child; yet they knew full well that their daughter was to fill a place from which great honour would accrue to them. They shed tears of love and pity when they separated from their daughter, but they had no other cause to weep. They knew well enough that eventually they would receive great honour from her marriage. So at parting many a tear was shed, as weeping they commend one another to God, and thus separate without more delay. (Vv. 1479-1690.) Erec quit his host; for he was very anxious to reach the royal court. HE WANTED NO COMPANY BUT THAT OF THE DAMSEL THEN WHEN THEY HAD ACCOMPANIED HIM SOME DISTANCE HE SAID IN GOD'S NAME FAREWELL THEN THE COUNT KISSES ERIC AND HIS NIECE AND COMMENDS THEM BOTH TO MERCIFUL GOD HER FATHER AND MOTHER TOO KISSED THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN AND COULD NOT KEEP BACK THEIR TEARS AT PARTING THE MOTHER WEEPS THE FATHER AND THE DAUGHTER TOO FOR SUCH IS LOVE AND HUMAN NATURE AND SUCH IS AFFECTION BETWEEN PARENTS AND CHILDREN THEY WEPT FROM SORROW TENDERNESS AND LOVE WHICH THEY HAD FOR THEIR CHILD YET THEY KNEW FULL WELL THAT THEIR DAUGHTER WAS TO FILL A PLACE FROM WHICH GREAT HONOUR WOULD ACCRUE TO THEM THEY SHED TEARS OF LOVE AND PITY WHEN THEY SEPARATED FROM THEIR DAUGHTER BUT THEY HAD NO OTHER CAUSE TO WEEP THEY KNEW WELL ENOUGH THAT EVENTUALLY THEY WOULD RECEIVE GREAT HONOUR FROM HER MARRIAGE SO AT PARTING MANY A TEAR WAS SHED AS WEEPING THEY COMMAND ONE ANOTHER TO GOD AND THUS SEPARATE WITHOUT MORE DELAY ERIC QUIT HIS HOST FOR HE WAS VERY ANXIOUS TO REACH THE ROYAL COURT
