Seven stars did she name unto him in Arabic, and their might, Right well Feirefis should know it, who sat there, both black and white. 780 And she spake, 'Sir Parzival, mark well the names that I tell to thee, There is Zevâl the highest planet, and the swift star Almustri; Almaret and the shining Samsi, great bliss unto thee they bring, Alligafir is fifth, and Alketer stands sixth in the starry ring; And the nearest to us is Alkamer; and no dream shall it be, my rede, 785 For the bridle of heaven are they, to guide and to check its speed, 'Gainst its swiftness their power, it warreth--Now thy sorrow is passed away, For far as shall be their journey, and far as shall shine their ray. So wide is the goal of thy riches and the glory thine hand shall win, And thy sorrow shall wane and vanish--Yet this thing It holds for sin, 790 The Grail and Its power, It forbids thee unlawful desire to know, And the company of sinners henceforth must thou shun, I trow; And riches are thine, and honour, but from these shall thy life be free-- Now thy youth was by sorrow cherished, and her lesson she taught to thee, But by joy she afar is driven, for thou hast thy soul's rest won, 795 And in grief thou o'er-long hast waited for the joy that is now begun.'
