Guivret, in his delight, dismounts and goes to fall at Erec's feet, where he was lying on the ground. "My lord," he says, "I was going to seek for you, and was on my way to Limors, where I expected to find you dead. GUIVRET IN HIS DELIGHT DISMOUNTS AND GOES TO FALL AT EREC'S FEET WHERE HE WAS LYING ON THE GROUND MY LORD HE SAYS I WAS GOING TO SEEK FOR YOU AND WAS ON MY WAY TO THE MOORS WHERE I EXPECTED TO FIND YOU DEAD
on for thy deed. If thou hadst been alone and helpless, thou wouldst have rued this attack, provided my lord had been in health. Now be generous and courteous, and kindly let cease this battle which thou hast begun. For thy reputation would be no better for having killed or captured a knight who has not the strength to rise, as thou canst see. For he has suffered so many blows of arms that he is all covered with wounds" And he replies: "Fear not, lady! I see that loyally you love your lord, and I commend you for it. Have no fear whatsoever of me or of my company. But tell me now without concealment what is the name of your lord; for only advantage will you get from telling me. Whoever he be, tell me his name; then he shall go safe and unmolested. Neither he nor you have aught to fear, for you are both in safe hands." (Vv. 5059-5172.) Then Enide learns that she is safe, she answers him briefly in a word: "His name is Erec; I ought not to lie, for I see you are honest and of good intent. H SUCH INJUSTICE THAT THOU CANST NOT FIND REASON FOR THY DEED IF THOU HADST BEEN ALONE AND HELPLESS THOU WOULDST HAVE RUED THIS ATTACK PROVIDED MY LORD HAD BEEN IN HEALTH NOW BE GENEROUS AND COURTEOUS AND KINDLY LET CEASE THIS BATTLE WHICH THOU HAST BEGUN FOR THY REPUTATION WOULD BE NO BETTER FOR HAVING KILLED OR CAPTURED A KNIGHT WHO HAS NOT THE STRENGTH TO RISE AS THOU CANST SEE FOR HE HAS SUFFERED SO MANY BLOWS OF ARMS THAT HE IS ALL COVERED WITH WOUNDS AND HE REPLIES FEAR NOT LADY I SEE THAT LOYALLY YOU LOVE YOUR LORD AND I COMMEND YOU FOR IT HAVE NO FEAR WHATSOEVER OF ME OR OF MY COMPANY BUT TELL ME NOW WITHOUT CONCEALMENT WHAT IS THE NAME OF YOUR LORD OUR ONLY ADVANTAGE WILL YOU GET FROM TELLING ME WHOEVER HE BE TELL ME HIS NAME THEN HE SHALL GO SAFE AND UNMOLESTED NEITHER HE NOR YOU HAVE AUGHT TO FEAR FOR YOU ARE BOTH IN SAFE HANDS THEN INDEED LEARNS THAT SHE IS SAFE SHE ANSWERS HIM BRIEFLY IN A WORD HIS NAME IS EREC I OUGHT NOT TO LIE FOR I SEE YOU ARE HONEST AND OF GOOD INTENT
