Iseult is there, and Thisbe, too, and many others, and they are not severed from their lovers now.. Sometimes Dame Venus passes, riding upon a panther, and low-hanging leaves clutch at her tender flesh. Then Perion and I peep from a coppice, and are very glad and a little frightened in the heart of our own woods." Said Demetrios, "Do you console yourself with madness?" He showed no sign of mirth.
Thus they came to Manneville and, skirting the town, came to Fomor Beach, a narrow sandy coast. It was dark in this place and very still save for the encroachment of the tide. Yonder were four little lights, lazily heaving with the water's motion, to show them where the Tranchemer lay at anchor. It did not seem to Perion that anything mattered. "It will be nearing dawn by this," he said.
And as he went he sang a song in honor of Dame Melicent, whom he celebrated as Heart o' My Heart: and the two who heard him agreed that Perion de la Foret was probably the worst poet in the world. "Nevertheless, there goes a very chivalrous and worthy gentleman," said Horvendile, "intent to play out the remainder of his romance.
It is a page out of Theocritos 'when there were golden men of old, when friends gave love for love. And yet I could have sworn Come now, a wager," purred Demetrios. "Show your contempt of this bauble to be as great as mine by throwing this shiny pebble, say, into the gallery, for the next passer-by to pick up, and I will credit your sincerity. Do that and I will even name my price for Perion."
My dear, believe me! believe me, in spite of reason! and understand that my adoration and misery and unworthiness when I think of you are such as I cannot measure, and afford me no judicious moment wherein to fashion lies. For I shall not see you any more. "I thank you, madame, for your all-unmerited kindnesses, and, oh, I pray you to believe!" How the Bishop Aided Perion
If you slay this Perion of the Forest, his retainers will speedily abandon a desperate siege and retreat to the coast. But they will never retreat so long as the man lives and sways them, and we hold Melicent, for, as you plainly see, this abominable reprobate is quite besotted with love of her. His death would win you praise; but the destruction of his armament will purchase you your province.
I must relinquish him to Mother Church, in order that he may be equitably tried, and be baptised since even he may have a soul and afterward be burned in the market-place." "The King has spoken," Perion replied. "I too have spoken." There was a pause of horror upon the part of King Theodoret. He was at first in a mere whirl.
Meanwhile, O all-enduring and all-conquering! go now to your last labour; and if my Brother dare concede as much do you now conquer Perion." Then he vanished. She never saw him any more. She lifted the Jew's lamp. She bore it through the Women's Garden, wherein were many discomfortable shadows and no living being. She came to its outer entrance. Men were fighting there.
Perion said then, "Draw, messire! for, as God lives, I may yet repurchase, at this eleventh hour, the privilege of destroying you." "Heyday! but here is an odd evincement of gratitude!" de Montors retorted; "and though I am not particularly squeamish, let me tell you, my fine fellow, I do not ordinarily fight with lackeys." "Nor are you fit to do so, messire.
I know that nothing is more sure than these, and I praise God for my sure knowledge." He chuckled, saying, "Platitudes break no bones." So on the next day the chains were filed from Perion de la Foret and all his fellows, save the nine unfortunates whom Demetrios had appointed to fight with lions a month before this, when he had entertained the Soldan of Bacharia.
