From the tent they take the hangings, and the king spake, 'Say which is he, 265 Of my boys, who henceforward ruler of your folk and your land shall be?' And further he spake to the princes, 'Both Waleis and Norgal's land, And their towns, Kingrivals and Kanvoleis, by his birthright shall serve his hand, With Béalzenan and Anjou, should he grow unto man's estate; And thither shall ye fare with him, and shall there on his bidding wait. 270 Gamuret was he called, my father, and he left them to me, his heir, But I, by God's grace, have won me an heritage yet more fair! Since the Grail shall be mine, I bid ye your fealty to swear anew To my child, ere this hour be ended, if your hearts shall to me be true!' And of right goodwill they did this--Ye saw many proud banners wave, 275 And two little hands the tenure of many a wide land gave. And there did they crown Kardeiss king; and, when many a year had flown, Kanvoleis, and Gamuret's kingdom they needs must his lordship own-- And then by Plimizöl's water did they measure a circle wide That there a feast might be holden ere again on their way they ride. 280 Nor long at the board they tarried; no longer the host might stay, The tents were struck, with their child-king they wended their homeward way. And many a maid and vassal must bid to their queen Farewell In such wise that they made loud mourning, and many a teardrop fell. And Lohengrin and his mother did the Templars take in their care, 285 And with them to the Burg of Monsalväsch again on their journey fare. Quoth Parzival, 'Once in this woodland an hermitage did I see, And thro' it a rippling brooklet flowed swift on its way so free; If ye know where it stands ye shall show me.' His comrades swift answer gave, They knew one; 'There dwells a maiden, and she weeps o'er her true love's grave; 290 A shrine of all goodness is she--Our road it doth lead that way, And her heart is ne'er free from sorrow.' 'That maid will we see to-day,' Quoth Parzival, and the others, as he willed, so they thought it good, And onward they spurred their chargers, and rode thro' the lonely wood.
