Two Old French Werwolf Lays Li rois d’Yrlande a mes eüs 452 C’Artus estoit a lui venus; Molt en fu liés, grant joie en a. Bien main a l’aube se leva, Deci al port en est alés; 456 Ses barons a o lui menés, Tot droit al port en vint errant. Molt s’entrefirent bel samblant; Artus li mostra grant amor 460 Et fait li a molt grant honor. Qant il le voit a lui venir, Ne se volt mie enorgoillir, Ains leva sus, si l’a baisié. 464 Li ceval sont apareillié; Ne targent plus, ains sont monté, Ore en iront vers la cité. Li rois monte en son palefroi, 468 Se son leu a pris bon conroi. Ne le voloit mie laissier; Il fu tos jors a son estrier. D’Artus fu molt li rois joians, 472 Li conrois fu riches et grans. A Duveline sont venu Et el grant palais descendu. Qant li rois monta el doignon, 476 Li leus li tint par le giron; Qant li rois Artus fu assis, Li leus s’est a ses pïés mis. Li rois a son leu regardé; 480 Joste le dois l’a apelé. Ensamble sisent li doi roi, Molt par i ot riche conroi, Molt bien servoient li baron; 484 De totes pars par la maison Servi furent a grant plenté. Mais Melïon a regardé; Enmi la sale ravisa 488 Celui ki sa feme enmena. Bien sot la mer estoit passés Et en Yrlande estoit alés. Par l’espaule le vait saisir: 492 Cil ne se pot a lui tenir; En la sale l’a abatu. Ja l’eüst mort et confondu, Ne fuissent li sergant le roi 72
Melion The King of Ireland received a message 452 That Arthur had come to him; He was very glad and rejoiced greatly. He rose very early at dawn And went to the harbour, 456 Taking his barons with him; They all made straight for the harbour. They greeted each other in a friendly manner; Arthur showed him great love 460 And did him great honour. When he saw the King of Ireland coming towards him, He did not wish to appear haughty, But stood up and embraced him. 464 The horses were ready; They tarried no longer, but mounted, Then rode them towards the city. The king mounted his palfrey 468 And took good care of his wolf; He did not wish to leave him behind. All the time Melion was at his stirrup. The king was very happy to see Arthur, 472 The retinue was large and magnificent. They came to Dublin And dismounted at the great palace. When the king went up into the keep, 476 The wolf held him by the skirt of his robe; When King Arthur was seated, The wolf placed himself at his feet. The king looked at his wolf; 480 He called him near to the table. The two kings sat together; The retinue was splendid, The barons waited on them very well: 484 In all parts of the dwelling They were served lavishly. But Melion looked around; He noticed in the middle of the hall 488 The man his wife had taken away with her. He knew that he had crossed the sea And had gone to Ireland. He went to seize him by the shoulder: 492 The man could not keep him at bay; Melion attacked him in the hall: He would have soon killed and destroyed him Had it not been for the king’s servants, 73
