Suddenly the shepherd strikes in with a lively tune: "Isolda is at hand," cries Kurvenal.
Nay, order him: pray, understand it:— I, Isolda do command it!
Also I know an Isolda; a most respectable married woman, of a sprightly humour and much nimbleness in dodging big emotions.
Whether Tristan had previously known Isolda to love him does not matter: he knows it now.
