T. made great lamentation all night long for my lady Isotta, and that night he did not sleep at all, neither little nor much. And when day drew near, and T., who had passed that night in great anger and great sorrow, called Governale to prepare his arms for him and told him to keep him company. And Governale did so. Then T. was armed and began to call Governale to bring him the shield and the lance. And they rode until they came to the meadow where Sigris had been struck down. And T. touched the knight with the lance, believing he was dead, and the knight raised his head, and T. saw that he was alive. And T. said to him: "Knight, how do you fare?"

And king Marco answered and said: "This cannot be." And Ghedin said: "My lord, it is certainly the truth, and I will make you believe it, so that you will be certain of it."

And afterward T. came through a window and took a leap and jumped onto the bed of madonna Isotta and stayed with her for the greater part of the night.
