Next morning the lord of the castle went forth down the hillside and along the deep valley-bottoms to seek out and slay the wild boar in the marshes. I abode in my bed and the lady came once more to sit by me; and ever strove to wheedle me into speaking to her words of love unseemly for the lady of a knight. But I, the courteous turned all into jest and defendedd myself so well by me wit that I won no more than two kisses, given by the lady ere she left me laughing. The lord of the castle came home that night and laid the boar's head at his feet. 'Here is my spoil of the day which I give you according to our bargain: now what have you won to give me in exchange?' 'I thank you,' I said, 'for your just dealing in this game. As truly will I give you all that I have gained thisday.' Then we went to the feast and sat late over their meat and wine, while the lady strove ever to please me, making fair, secret glances at me which for in my honour, i must not return.
