I intended to say no more of her; but whoever could consider well all her attire and her beauty might well say that never did Lavinia of Laurentum, who was so fair and comely, possess the quarter of her beauty. I INTENDED TO SAY NO MORE OF HER BUT WHOEVER COULD CONSIDER WELL ALL HER ATTIRE AND HER BEAUTY MIGHT WELL SAY THAT NEVER DID LAVINIA OF LAURENTUM WHO WAS SO FAIR AND COMELY POSSESSED THE QUARTER OF HER BEAUTY
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. But since she must stay behind and cannot follow him, she remains sorrowful and grieving. And he went off alone down a path, without companion of any sort, until he came to a silver couch with a cover of gold-embroidered cloth, beneath the shade of a sycamore; and on the bed a maiden of comely body and lovely face, completely endowed with all beauty, was seated all alone. O 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 BUT SINCE SHE MUST STAY BEHIND AND CANNOT FOLLOW HIM SHE REMAINS SORROWFUL AND GRIEVING AND HE WENT OFF ALONE DOWN A PATH WITHOUT COMPANION OF ANY SORT UNTIL HE CAME TO A SILVER COUCH WITH A COVER OF GOLD EMBROIDERED CLOTH BENEATH THE SHADE OF A SYCAMORE AND ON THE BED A MAIDEN OF COMELY BODY AND LOVELY FACE COMPLETELY ENDOWED WITH ALL BEAUTY WAS SEATED ALL ALONE
