Such robes ware these two and Gawain: then they gat them unto the hall, And on one side the knights they sat them, on the other the ladies all, And he who a woman's beauty had wisdom to judge aright Must reckon Gawain's fair lady the first of these ladies bright. 50 And the host and his guests so gallant they gazed on her radiant glow, As they stood before Orgelusé; and her knights she again must know, And her Turkowit, gallant Florand, and Lischois, the young and fair, Were set free, without let or hindrance, for the love that Gawain must bear To the lovely lady of Logrois--Then their victor they thanked amain, 55 Who was dull to all ill, yet had wisdom in all that might true love gain. As the captives thus free were spoken, Gawain the four queens must see As they stood by the side of the Duchess, and he spake in his courtesy, And he bade the two knights go nearer, and with kiss greet those ladies bright, The three younger queens, and joyful, I ween, was each gallant knight. 60 And there was the maiden Bené, with Gawain had she sought the hall, And I think me a joyful welcome she found there from each and all. Then the host would no longer stand there, and the twain did he pray to sit By the maidens, as best should please them, and it grievèd them not one whit, Such counsel it grieveth no man! Then the gallant Gawain spake, 65 'Now which of these maids is Itonjé? Beside her my seat I'ld take!' Thus in secret he spake to Bené, and she showed him the maiden fair, 'She, with eyes so clear and shining, and red lips, and dusky hair! Wouldst thou speak with the maid in secret? Then thy words be wise and few:' Thus quoth Bené the wise in counsel, who Itonjé's love-tale knew, 70 And knew that King Gramoflanz loved her, and did service for her heart's love, And his faith as a knight unstainèd would fain to the maiden prove.
