The maiden cries and sighs again, then sobbing, says: "Fair sire, it is no wonder if I grieve, for I wish I were dead. I neither love nor prize my life, for my lover has been led away prisoner by two wicked and cruel giants who are his mortal enemies. THE MAIDEN CRIES AND SIGHS AGAIN THEN SOBBING SAYS FAIR SIRE IT IS NO WONDER IF I GRIEVE FOR I WISH I WERE DEAD I NEITHER LOVE NOR PRIZE MY LIFE FOR MY LOVER HAS BEEN LED AWAY PRISONER BY TWO WICKED AND CRUEL GIANTS WHO ARE HIS MORTAL ENEMIES
ounts, and they ride away. (Vv. 4308-4380.) Entering a forest, they rode on without halting till hour of prime. While they thus traversed the wood, they heard in the distance the cry of a damsel in great distress. When Erec heard the cry, he felt sure from the sound that it was the voice of one in trouble and in need of help. Straightway calling Enide, he says: "Lady, there is some maiden who goes through the wood calling aloud. I take it that she is in need of aid and succour. I am going to hasten in that direction and see what her trouble is. Do you dismount and await me here, while I go yonder." "Gladly, sire," she says. Leaving her alone, he makes his way until he found the damsel, who was going through the wood, lamenting her lover whom two giants had taken and were leading away with very cruel treatment. The maiden was rending her garments, and tearing her hair and her tender crimson face. Erec sees her and, wondering greatly, begs her to tell him why she cries and weeps so sore.
