Yvain, or the Knight with the Lion · 1914
Lines 2037–2048
Translated by W. W. Comfort (Everyman's Library, 1914)
Thus they are quickly reconciled. And the lady, having previously consulted her lords, says: "We shall proceed from here to the hall where my men are assembled, who, in view of the evident need, have advised and counselled me to take a husband at their request. And I shall do so, in view of the urgent need: here and now I give myself to you; for I should not refuse to accept as lord, such a good knight and a king's son."
