[Sidenote: Huon and Amanda in fairyland.] While all were dancing, much against their will, Huon and Amanda, Sherasmin and Fatima, promptly stepped into the silvery car which Oberon placed at their disposal, and were rapidly transported to fairyland. There they found little Huonet in perfect health. Great happiness now reigned, for Titania, having secured the ring which Amanda had lost in her struggle with the pirates on the sandy shore, had given it back to Oberon. He was propitiated by the gift, and as the sight of Huon and Amanda's fidelity had convinced him that wives could be true, he took Titania back into favor, and reinstated her as queen of his realm. When Huon and Amanda had sojourned as long as they wished in fairyland, they were wafted in Oberon's car to the gates of Paris. There Huon arrived just in time to win, at the point of his lance, his patrimony of Guienne, which Charlemagne had offered as prize at a tournament. Bending low before his monarch, the young hero then revealed his name, presented his wife, gave him the golden casket containing the lock of hair and the four teeth, and said that he had accomplished his quest. "Our hero lifts the helmet from his head; And boldly ent'ring, like the god of day, His golden ringlets down his armor play. All, wond'ring, greet the youth long mourn'd as dead, Before the king his spirit seems to stand! Sir Huon with Amanda, hand in hand, Salutes the emperor with respectful bow-- 'Behold, obedient to his plighted vow, Thy vassal, sovereign liege, returning to thy land! "'For by the help of Heaven this arm has done What thou enjoin'dst--and lo! before thine eye The beard and teeth of Asia's monarch lie, At hazard of my life, to please thee, won; And in this fair, by every peril tried, The heiress of his throne, my love, my bride!' He spoke; and lo! at once her knight to grace, Off falls the veil that hid Amanda's face, And a new radiance gilds the hall from side to side." WIELAND, _Oberon_ (Sotheby's tr.). The young couple, entirely restored to favor, sojourned a short time at court and then traveled southward to Guienne, where their subjects received them with every demonstration of extravagant joy. Here they spent the remainder of their lives together in happiness and comparative peace.
