Book XIII. tells of the goodly feast that was holden in Château Merveil, and of the wedding of Gawain and Orgelusé. How Gawain's squire did his bidding; and how King Arthur and Queen Guinevere pledged themselves to ride to Ioflanz to behold the conflict between Gawain and Gramoflanz. How Gawain fared in Château Merveil; and how Arnivé told him the history of Klingsor, and of his unlawful love. Of the coming of King Arthur and his host; how they fought before Logrois; and came with great pomp to the plain of Ioflanz. How Gawain and the dwellers in Château Merveil followed to the plain; of the goodly camp prepared for them; of the wonder of the court and Kay's jealousy; and how the four queens were made known to King Arthur. BOOK XIII KLINGSOR Then wrathful, I ween, was Arnivé that the messenger said her Nay, Nor told her aught of his errand, nor whither his journey lay. And in this wise she quoth to the porter, 'Now, whatever the hour may be, Be it day, be it night, when he cometh, send tidings thereof to me, In secret would I speak with him; thou art wise, as full well I know!' 5 Yet wroth was she still with the footman--Then she would to the Duchess go, And win from her lips the answer, but ready was she of wit, And the name that he bare, her hero, her mouth spake no word of it. Gawain he would have her silent, in her hearing his prayer found grace, And she spake not, nor might Arnivé learn aught of his name and race. 10 Then the sound as of many trumpets thro' the hall of the palace rang, And joyful the blasts--Then rich carpets around on each wall they hang, And no foot but fell on a carpet would it tread on the palace floor, A poor man had surely feared him for the riches that there he saw. And many a couch they stood there, around the stately hall, 15 Soft were they as down, and rich cushions they laid upon each and all.
