at those words did the hearts of all who stood there break for sorrow and for dread , yet did none dare to go to the place of the anguish of that fair lady , for a sad spirit abideth there yet and none sets foot upon its sward ; but a great remorse pierced the hearts of those three cravens , and creeping from the throng they went to seek their lord 's body , and behold they found him stirring and alive , for when the dragon died the swoon had left him , and he slept a deep sleep of weariness , yet now was he awakening and was in pain .
