But since she must stay behind and cannot follow him, she remains sorrowful and grieving. BUT SINCE SHE MUST STAY BEHIND AND CANNOT FOLLOW HIM SHE REMAINS SORROWFUL AND GRIEVING
y body is wounded, and until you see the meshes of my bright hauberk covered with blood, and my helmet broken and smashed, and me defeated and weary, so that I can no longer defend myself, but must beg and sue for mercy against my will; then you may lament, but now you have begun too soon. Gentle lady, as yet you know not what this is to be; no more do I. You are troubled without cause. But know this truly: if there were in me only so much courage as your love inspires, truly I should not fear to face any man alive. But I am foolish to vaunt myself; yet I say it not from any pride, but because I wish to comfort you. So comfort yourself, and let it be! I cannot longer tarry here, nor can you go along with me; for, as the King has ordered, I must not take you beyond this point." Then he kisses her and commends her to God, and she him. But she is much chagrined that she cannot follow and escort him, until she may learn and see what this adventure is to be, and how he will conduct himself.  SHIELD IS SHATTERED AND THAT MY BODY IS WOUNDED AND UNTIL YOU SEE THE MESHES OF MY BRIGHT HAUBERK COVERED WITH BLOOD AND MY HELMET BROKEN AND SMASHED AND ME DEFEATED AND WEARY SO THAT I CAN NO LONGER DEFEND MYSELF BUT MUST BEG AND SUE FOR MERCY AGAINST MY WILL THEN YOU MAY LAMENT BUT NOW YOU HAVE BEGUN TOO SOON GENTLE LADY AS YET YOU KNOW NOT WHAT THIS IS TO BE NO MORE DO I YOU ARE TROUBLED WITHOUT CAUSE BUT KNOW THIS TRULY IF THERE WERE IN ME ONLY SO MUCH COURAGE AS YOUR LOVE INSPIRES TRULY I SHOULD NOT FEAR TO FACE ANY MAN ALIVE BUT I AM FOOLISH TO VAUNT MYSELF YET I SAY IT NOT FROM ANY PRIDE BUT BECAUSE I WISH TO COMFORT YOU SO COMFORT YOURSELF AND LET IT BE I CANNOT TARRY LONGER HERE NOR CAN YOU GO ALONG WITH ME FOR AS THE KING HAS ORDERED I MUST NOT TAKE YOU BEYOND THIS POINT THEN HE KISSES HER AND COMMENDS HER TO GOD AND SHE HIM BUT SHE IS MUCH CHAGRINED THAT SHE CANNOT FOLLOW AND ESCORT HIM UNTIL SHE MAY LEARN AND SEE WHAT THIS ADVENTURE IS TO BE AND HOW HE WILL CONDUCT HIMSELF
