So rode they, the one with the other, the Waleis and Knight Gawain, And the folk, both afoot and on horseback, with honour would greet the twain, 460 Gawain and his guest the Red Knight, this did they of courtesy, And the twain to his fair pavilion they gat them right speedily. And the lady, fair Kunnewaaré, whose tent by Gawain's did stand, Rejoiced, and she joyful greeted the hero, whose strong right hand Had failed not to wreak stern vengeance for the ill that Kay wrought that day; 465 Then her brother and fair Jeschuté she led by the hand straightway, And Parzival looked upon them as the three to his tent drew near, And his face, thro' the rust of his armour, it shone ever fair and clear, As roses dew-dipped had flown there: his harness aside he laid, And he stood before Kunnewaaré, and thus spake the gentle maid: 470 'To God shalt thou first be welcome, as welcome thou art to me, Since thy manhood thou well hast proven, and the faith that I had in thee! Ere the day that my heart beheld thee, nor laughter nor smiles I knew, And Kay, who in that hour smote me, with stern hand my gladness slew. But now hast thou well avenged me! With a kiss I thy deed would pay, 475 If I of thy kiss were worthy!' 'Nay, so had I thought to-day To crave of thy lips my payment,' quoth Parzival, 'if thou still Wilt give me such gracious greeting, right gladly I'll do thy will!' Then she kissed him, and down they sate them, and the princess a maiden sent And bade her to bring rich raiment; so sped she unto the tent; 480 And the garments they lay there ready, of rich silk of Nineveh, For her prisoner, King Klamidé, had she fashioned them cunningly. Then the maiden who bare the garments, full sorely must she bewail That the mantle was yet unfinished, since the silken cord did fail. Then the lady, Kunnewaaré, from her side drew a silken band 485 From the folds of her robe, in the mantle she wove it with skilful hand.
