Before she goes, she kisses her cousin very tenderly and embraces her. Then they go and the Joy is over. (Vv. 6411 6509.) They go off and the others return. Erec and Guivret do not tarry, but keep joyfully on their way, until they came in nine days to Robais, where they were told the King was. BEFORE SHE GOES SHE KISSES HER COUSIN VERY TENDERLY AND EMBRACES HER THEN THEY GO AND THE JOY IS OVER THEY GO OFF AND THE OTHERS RETURN ERIC AND GUIVRETTE DO NOT TARRY BUT KEEP JOYFULLY ON THEIR WAY UNTIL THEY CAME IN NINE DAYS TO OBEY WHERE THEY WERE TOLD THE KING WAS
to the court, and strive to show their glee as their hearts dictate. Breton zithers, harps, and viols sound, fiddles, psalteries, and other stringed instruments, and all kinds of music that one could name or mention. But I wish to conclude the matter briefly without too long delay. The King honours him to the extent of his power, as do all the others ungrudgingly. There is no one who does not gladly offer to do his service. Three whole days the Joy lasted, before Erec could get away. On the fourth he would no longer tarry for any reason they could urge. There was a great crowd to accompany him and a very great press when it came to taking leave. If he had wished to reply to each one, he would not have been able in half a day to return the salutations individually. The nobles he salutes and embraces; the others he commends to God in a word, and salutes them. Enide, for her part, is not silent when she takes leave of the nobles. She salutes them all by name, and they in turn do the like. NG THUS THEY BRING HIM TO THE COURT AND STRIVE TO SHOW THEIR GLEE AS THEIR HEARTS DICTATE BRETON SCYTHERS HARPS AND MULES SOUND FIDDLES AND POLSTERYS AND OTHER STRINGED INSTRUMENTS AND ALL KINDS OF MUSIC THAT ONE COULD NAME OR MENTION BUT I WISH TO CONCLUDE THE MATTER BRIEFLY WITHOUT TOO LONG DELAY THE KING HONOURS HIM TO THE EXTENT OF HIS POWER AS DO ALL THE OTHERS UNGRUDGINGLY THERE IS NO ONE WHO DOES NOT GLADLY OFFER TO DO HIS SERVICE THREE WHOLE DAYS THE JOY LASTED BEFORE EREC COULD GET AWAY ON THE FOURTH HE WOULD NO LONGER TARRY FOR ANY REASON THEY COULD URGE THERE WAS A GREAT CROWD TO ACCOMPANY HIM AT A VERY GREAT PRESS WHEN IT CAME TO TAKING LEAVE IF HE HAD WISHED TO REPLY TO EACH ONE HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE IN HALF A DAY TO RETURN THE SALUTATIONS INDIVIDUALLY THE NOBLES HE SALUTES AND EMBRACES THE OTHERS HE COMMENDS TO GOD IN A WORD AND SALUTES THEM ANNEID FOR HER PART IS NOT SILENT WHEN SHE TAKES LEAVE OF THE NOBLES SHE SALUTES THEM ALL BY NAME AND THEY IN TURN DO THE LIKE
