Demetrios said, "Ay; and then night passes, and dawn comes to light my face, which is the most hideous to you among all the faces of men and women!" But Melicent said only: "Seignior, although the severing daylight endures for a long while, I must be brave and worthy of Perion's love nay, rather, of the love he gave me once.

His company, some fifteen men in all, had ridden up while Melicent and Perion looked seaward. The bishop was clothed, in his habitual fashion, as a cavalier, showing in nothing as a churchman.
