; "he who presents me with the head of the knight whom I hate so bitterly, will have served me to my taste." Then they plunge on at topmost speed, filled with hostility toward him who had never laid eyes on them and had never harmed them by deed or word. They ride ahead until they made him out; at the edge of a forest they catch sight of him before he was hid by the forest trees. Not one of them halted then, but all rushed on in rivalry. Enide hears the clang and noise of their arms and horses, and sees that the valley is full of them. As soon as she saw them, she could not restrain her tongue. "Ah, sire," she cries, "alas, how this Count has attacked you, when he leads against you such a host! Sire, ride faster now, until we be within this wood. I think we can easily distance them, for they are still a long way behind. If you go on at this pace, you can never escape from death, for you are no match for them." Erec replies: "Little esteem you have for me, and lightly you hold my words. AND DOES NOT SPUR ON FAST QUOTH HE HE WHO PRESENTS ME WITH THE HEAD OF THE KNIGHT WHOM I HATE SO BITTERLY WILL HAVE SERVED ME TO MY TASTE THEN THEY PLUNGE ON AT TOPMOST SPEED FILLED WITH HOSTILITY TOWARD HIM WHO HAD NEVER LAID EYES ON THEM AND HAD NEVER HARMED THEM BY DEED OR WORD THEY RIDE AHEAD UNTIL THEY MADE HIM OUT AT THE EDGE OF A FOREST THEY CATCH SIGHT OF HIM BEFORE HE WAS HID BY THE FOREST TREES NOT ONE OF THEM HALTED THEN BUT ALL RUSHED ON IN RIVALRY AND NEED HEARS THE CLANG AND NOISE OF THEIR ARMS AND HORSES AND SEES THAT THE VALLEY IS FULL OF THEM AS SOON AS SHE SAW THEM SHE COULD NOT RESTRAIN HER TONGUE AH SIRE SHE CRIES ALAS HOW THIS COUNT HAS ATTACKED YOU WHEN HE LEADS AGAINST YOU SUCH A HOST SIRE RIDE FASTER NOW UNTIL WE BE WITHIN THIS WOOD I THINK WE CAN EASILY DISTANCE THEM FOR THEY ARE STILL A LONG WAY BEHIND IF YOU GO ON AT THIS PACE YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE FROM DEATH FOR YOU ARE NO MATCH FOR THEM ERIC REPLIES LITTLE ESTEEM YOU HAVE FOR ME AND LIGHTLY YOU HOLD MY WORDS
