All the knights said it was a great pity and misfortune that such a valiant man as he was wont to be should no longer wish to bear arms. ALL THE KNIGHTS SAID IT WAS A GREAT PITY AND MISFORTUNE THAT SUCH A VALIANT MAN AS HE WAS WONT TO BE SHOULD NO LONGER WISH TO BEAR ARMS
nd whoever could do her any service was glad and esteemed himself the more. No one spoke any ill of her, for no one could do so. In the realm or empire there was no lady of such good manners. But Erec loved her with such a tender love that he cared no more for arms, nor did he go to tournaments, nor have any desire to joust; but he spent his time in cherishing his wife. He made of her his mistress and his sweetheart. He devoted all his heart and mind to fondling and kissing her, and sought no delight in other pastime. His friends grieved over this, and often regretted among themselves that he was so deep in love. Often it was past noon before he left her side; for there he was happy, say what they might. He rarely left her society, and yet he was as open-handed as ever to his knights with arms, dress, and money. There was not a tournament anywhere to which he did not send them well apparelled and equipped. Whatever the cost might be, he gave them fresh steeds for the tourney and joust. HER FOR HER OPEN HEART AND WHOEVER COULD DO HER ANY SERVICE WAS GLAD AND ESTEEMED HIMSELF THE MORE NO ONE SPOKE ANY ILL OF HER FOR NO ONE COULD DO SO IN THE REALM OR EMPIRE THERE WAS NO LADY OF SUCH GOOD MANNERS BUT ERIC LOVED HER WITH SUCH A TENDER LOVE THAT HE CARED NO MORE FOR ARMS NOR DID HE GO TO TOURNAMENTS NOR HAVE ANY DESIRE TO JOUST BUT HE SPENT HIS TIME IN CHERISHING HIS WIFE HE MADE OF HER HIS MISTRESS AND HIS SWEETHEART HE DEVOTED ALL HIS HEART AND MIND TO FONDLING AND KISSING HER AND SOUGHT NO DELIGHT IN OTHER PASTIME HIS FRIENDS GRIEVED OVER THIS AND OFTEN REGRETTED AMONG THEMSELVES THAT HE WAS SO DEEP IN LOVE OFTEN IT WAS PAST NOON BEFORE HE LEFT HER SIDE FOR THERE HE WAS HAPPY SAY WHAT THEY MIGHT HE RARELY LEFT HER SOCIETY AND YET HE WAS AS OPEN HANDED AS EVER TO HIS KNIGHTS WITH ARMS DRESS AND MONEY THERE WAS NOT A TOURNAMENT ANYWHERE TO WHICH HE DID NOT SEND THEM WELL APPARELLED AND EQUIPPED WHATEVER THE COST MIGHT BE HE GAVE THEM FRESH DEEDS FOR THE TOURNEY AND JOUST
