now when the king met his lords in the morning, he always lamented and said, "oh, if i had but my love with me." ferdinand the unfaithful was, however, always hostile to ferdinand the faithful. so once, when the king was complaining thus, he said, "you have the outrider, send him away to get her, and if he does not do it, his head must be struck off." then the king sent for ferdinand the faithful, and told him that there was, in this place or in that place, a girl he loved, and that he was to bring her to him, and if he did not do it he should die.
