Clothed with my gift, and gay among the gay.”

But while the women thus rejoiced, Geraint

Woke where he slept in the high hall, and call’d 755

For Enid; and when Yniol made report

Of that good mother making Enid gay

In such apparel as might well beseem

His princess, or indeed the stately Queen,

He answer’d: “Earl, entreat her by my love, 760

Albeit I give no reason but my wish,

That she ride with me in her faded silk.”
