Who could relate, except those that wedded be, |
| The joy, the ease, and the prosperity |
| That are between a husband and a wife? |
| A year and more endured this blissful life, |
| Until the knight, of whom I've spoken thus, |

| Arranged to go and dwell a year or twain |
| In England, which was then known as Britain, |
| To seek in arms renown and great honour; |
| For his desire was fixed in such labour; |
| 105 | And there he lived two years, the book says thus. |
