"The White Knight: Tirant Lo Blanc"

"It would be bad for both of us: You for going
in, and me for letting you go. I know that the princess doesn't
want your love for her to go unrewarded. And since I know how
much you hunger for your heart's desire, I want to help you."
Then Tirant went into the chamber and found the princess combing
her hair. When she turned and saw him she said:
"Who gave you the right to come in here? You shouldn't come into
my room without my permission: if the emperor knew about this he
could charge you with disloyalty. I beg you to leave: my breast
is trembling in fear."
Tirant paid no attention to the princess's words, but took her in
his arms and kissed her again and again on her breasts, her eyes
and her mouth. When the maidens saw Tirant playing with their
lady that way they were silent, but when they saw Tirant putting
his hand under her skirt they came to her aid. While they were
frolicking this way the empress was coming to her daughter's
chamber to see what she was doing, and with their games they did
not hear her until she was at the chamber door.
