She was bathed and rested, then she sought out those herbals that know all manner of enchantments and properties of herbs. With them, she made an ointment and washed herself with it, and her flesh became whiter than it was ever before.

She went to the palace where Aucassin was, and when he saw her, he recognized her not. "Fair sir," said she, "know ye not me? I am…-
