"Sire, it cannot be otherwise. I go now, and to God commend you. But keep in mind my companions, and give them horses and arms and all that knight may need." SIRE IT CANNOT 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
et shouldst thou not for that reason fail to take a part of thy knights with thee to betoken thy wealth and lordship. A king's son ought not to fare alone. Fair son, have thy sumpters loaded now, and take thirty or forty or more of thy knights, and see that silver and gold is taken, and whatever a gentleman needs." Finally Erec makes reply and tells him all in detail how he has planned his journey. "Sire," says he, "it must be so. I shall take no extra horse, nor have I any use for gold or silver, squire or sergeant; nor do I ask for any company save that of my wife alone. But I pray you, whatever may happen, should I die and she come back, to love her and hold her dear for love of me and for my prayer, and give her so long as she live, without contention or any strife, the half of your land to be her own." Upon hearing his son's request, the King said: "Fair son, I promise it. But I grieve much to see thee thus go off without escort, and if I had my way, thou shouldst not thus depart. O FIGHT SOME KNIGHT IN SINGLE COMBAT YET SHOULDST THOU NOT FOR THAT REASON FAIL TO TAKE A PART OF THY KNIGHTS WITH THEE TO BETOKEN THY WEALTH AND LORDSHIP A KING'S SON OUGHT NOT TO FARE ALONE FAIR SON HAVE THY SUMTERS LOADED NOW AND TAKE THIRTY OR FORTY OR MORE OF THY KNIGHTS AND SEE THAT SILVER AND GOLD IS TAKEN AND WHATEVER GENTLEMAN NEEDS BY THEE EREC MAKES REPLY AND TELLS HIM ALL IN DETAIL HOW HE HAS PLANNED HIS JOURNEY SIRE SAYS HE IT MUST BE SO I SHALL TAKE NO EXTRA HORSE NOR HAVE I ANY USE FOR GOLD OR SILVER SQUIRE OR SERGEANT NOR DO I ASK FOR ANY COMPANY SAVE THAT OF MY WIFE ALONE BUT I PRAY YOU WHATEVER MAY HAPPEN SHOULD I DIE AND SHE COME BACK TO LOVE HER AND HOLD HER DEAR FOR LOVE OF ME AND FOR MY PRAYER AND GIVE HER SO LONG AS SHE LIVE WITHOUT CONTENTION OR ANY STRIFE THE HALF OF YOUR LAND TO BE HER OWN UPON HEARING HIS SON'S REQUEST THE KING SAID FAIR SON I PROMISE IT BUT I GRIEVE MUCH TO SEE THEE THUS GO OFF WITHOUT ESCORT AND IF I HAD MY WAY THOU SHOULDST NOT THUS DEPART
