If you come out of it happily, you will have won such great honour that never did man win greater; and may God, as I desire, grant you a joyous deliverance." IF YOU COME OUT OF IT HAPPILY YOU WILL HAVE WON SUCH GREAT HONOR THAT NEVER DID MAN WIN GREATER AND MAY GOD AS I DESIRE GRANT YOU A JOYOUS DELIVERANCE

Therefore I tell you, for I should commit treachery and do you wrong were I not to tell you all the truth." Erec hears him and admits that the King with reason counsels him. But the greater the wonder and the more perilous the adventure, the more he covets it and yearns for it, saying: "Sire, I can tell you that I find you a worthy and a loyal man, and I can put no blame on you. I wish to undertake this boon, however it may fall out with me. The die is cast, for I shall never draw back from anything I have undertaken without exerting all my strength before I quit the field." "I know that well," the King replied; "you are acting against my will. You shall have the Joy which you desire. But I am in great despair; for I greatly fear you will be undone. But now be assured that you shall have what you desire. EVENING COME YOU MAY EXPECT A LIKE REWARD IF YOU WISH TO STRIVE FOR THE JOY YOU SHALL DO SO THOUGH IT GRIEVE ME SORE IT IS SOMETHING FROM WHICH YOU ARE FREE TO RETREAT AND DRAW BACK IF YOU WISH TO WORK YOUR WELFARE THEREFORE I TELL YOU FOR I SHOULD COMMIT TREACHERY AND DO YOU WRONG WERE I NOT TO TELL YOU ALL THE TRUTH EREC HEARS HIM AND ADMITS THAT THE KING WITH REASON COUNSELS HIM BUT THE GREATER THE WONDER AND THE MORE PERILOUS THE ADVENTURE THE MORE HE COVETS IT AND YEARNS FOR IT SAYING SIRE I CAN TELL YOU THAT I FIND YOU A WORTHY AND A LOYAL MAN AND I PUT NO BLAME ON YOU I WISH TO UNDERTAKE THIS BOON HOWEVER IT MAY FALL OUT WITH ME THE DIE IS CAST FOR I SHALL NEVER DRAW BACK FROM ANYTHING I HAVE UNDERTAKEN WITHOUT EXERTING ALL MY STRENGTH BEFORE I QUIT THE FIELD I KNOW THAT WELL THE KING REPLIED YOU ARE ACTING AGAINST MY WILL YOU SHALL HAVE THE JOY WHICH YOU DESIRE BUT I AM IN GREAT DESPAIR FOR I GREATLY FEAR YOU WILL BE UNDONE BUT NOW BE ASSURED THAT YOU SHALL HAVE WHAT YOU DESIRE
