For if all the rest of us be slain by the ships of the Argives, yet needst thou not fear to perish, for thy heart is not warlike, nor enduring in battle. But if thou dost hold aloof from the fight, or winnest any other with thy words to turn him from war, straightway by my spear shalt thou be smitten, and lose thy life."
Thou wilt be a true and brave knight ere thou winnest thy spurs in battle." Wendot's face flushed with shy happiness at hearing such frank and unqualified praise from one he was beginning to hold so dear.
So it happens that I am toiling and distress while thou takest thine ease and thy rest; thou sleepest while I am sleepless; I hunger still while thou eatest thy fill, and I win contempt while thou winnest good will." Hast thou not heard the saying of the wise:
Yet didst thou take pleasure in them; and therefore I make bold to ask how didst thou flee at all from the City of Destruction, and come so far upon thy way? Beware lest, when thou winnest to that brook wherein no man casts angle, even to that flood where there is no bridge to go over and the River is very deep beware, I say, of one Vain Hope, the Ferryman!
But with thee henceforth I must ever go and when thou diest, with thee must I die, and with thee pass where thou dost pass with thee to sleep, with thee to awake again and so, on and on, till in the end I win or thou winnest, or she wins who is our foe!" "I give thee thy price," said Meriamun the Queen.
The gods help this Eric, if thou winnest him. Nay, choose thy time and, if thou must strike, strike secretly and home. Remember also that cunning is mightier than strength, that lies pierce further than swords, and that witchcraft wins where honesty must fail. Now I will go to Asmund, and he shall be an angry man before to-morrow comes."
Cry hard to God for an enlightened heart and a willing mind, and God give thee a prosperous journey. Yet, before I do quite take my leave of thee, a few motives. It may be they will be as good as a pair of spurs, to prick on thy lumpish heart in this rich voyage. If thou winnest, then Heaven, God, Christ, glory eternal is thine. The Word of God is the only light to direct our steps.
