Translation:The Fair Magelone/VI

The nurse went to great lengths to meet with the knight again, and it so happened that they found themselves together one day in the same church. Peter was glad when he caught sight of the nurse, and immediately went up to her and inquired after her mistress. She told him everything: how she kept the Ring as a token of his great love for her, how she had read the words he had written for her, and how she had dreamt of him in the night. Peter blushed for joy when he heard her speak of these things, and said: Oh, dear nurse, tell her the feelings of my heart, and that I will surely pine away with longing for her if I cannot speak with her soon. If I can speak to her face to face, I will reveal to her that which I have revealed to no one else — my rank and name. But I love her with a love that no other heart is capable of. Now all I pray for is to make her my wife; my only wish is that her thoughts be of me as mine are of her. Give her also this ring, and ask her to keep it as a little memento of me. The nurse quickly hurried back to Magelone, who was sick at heart and languishing in bed. She jumped up when she saw her emissary, embraced her and asked her for the latest news. The nurse told her everything and gave her the precious ring. Look, exclaimed the princess, this is the very ring of which I dreamt! That must mean the rest of my dream is also going to come true. A sheet contained this song:

Magelone sang the song. Then she kissed the ring; and then she also kissed the first ring, so as not to offend it. Then she read the words again, speaking them out loud. And thus she occupied herself alone until late into the night.
