7782Lord,she said,"my man Hath left me or is dead;"whereon he thought--"What an she hate me now?
7782''Man, is he man at all?''
7782***** So Tristram won, and Lancelot gave, the gems, Not speaking other word than"Hast thou won?
7782***** Then Arthur rose and Lancelot follow''d him, And while they stood without the doors, the King Turn''d to him saying,"Is it then so well?
7782And Isolt answer''d,"Yea, and why not I?
7782And Tristram,"Was it muddier than thy gibes?
7782Art thou the purest, brother?
7782Bind me to one?
7782But hearken, have ye met him?
7782But then what folly had sent him overseas After she left him lonely here?
7782Did I love her?
7782Dost thou know the star We call the harp of Arthur up in heaven?"
7782Dropt down from heaven?
7782For when had Lancelot utter''d aught so gross Ev''n to the swineherd''s malkin in the mast?
7782Fought in her father''s battles?
7782How darest thou, if lover, push me even In fancy from thy side, and set me far In the gray distance, half a life away, Her to be loved no more?
7782Isolt of Britain dash''d Before Isolt of Brittany on the strand, Would that have chill''d her bride- kiss?
7782Lied, say ye?
7782Man was it who marr''d Heaven''s image in thee thus?"
7782Softly laugh''d Isolt,"Flatter me not, for hath not our great Queen My dole of beauty trebled?"
7782Speak, Lancelot, thou art silent: is it well?"
7782Swine, say ye?
7782Swine?
7782The black- blue Irish hair and Irish eyes Had drawn him home-- what marvel?
7782The name was ruler of the dark----Isolt?
7782Then Dagonet, turning on the ball of his foot,"And whither harp''st thou thine?
7782Then Tristram saying,"Why skip ye so, Sir Fool?"
7782Then Tristram, waiting for the quip to come,"Good now, what music have I broken, fool?"
7782Then ran across her memory the strange rhyme Of bygone Merlin,"Where is he who knows?
7782They fail''d to trace him thro''the flesh and blood Of our old Kings: whence then?
7782Was it the name of one in Brittany, Isolt, the daughter of the King?

7782did ye keep the vow ye made to Mark More than I mine?

7782her too hast thou left To pine and waste in those sweet memories?
7782lock up my tongue From uttering freely what I freely hear?
7782or fiend?
7782to whom Tristram, half plagued by Lancelot''s languorous mood, Made answer,"Ay, but wherefore toss me this Like a dry bone cast to some hungry hound?
7782wash''d up from out the deep?
7782wounded there?
21865''Oh, my brother,''he said,''have you not seen the Grail?'' 21865 Alas,"said Arthur, raising them from the ground,"my own dear father and my brother, why do you kneel to me?"
21865And do a lady and a dwarf ride with him?
21865And what is that adventure, fair damsel?
21865And why?
21865But you are not sure?
21865Damsel,he cried,"is this the knight you have brought from Arthur''s Court to fight with me?"
21865Damsel,said Arthur,"why do you, a maiden, wear a sword?"
21865Do you think Arthur is a great king?
21865Does he live in the fortress?
21865Fair damsel,said Sir Lancelot,"can you tell me of any adventures hereabouts?
21865Fair lord,she said boldly to Sir Lancelot,"will you wear my token in your helmet?"
21865Good woman, why do you weep?
21865Have you not done enough?
21865Is Sir Lancelot here?
21865My Lancelot, the mightiest of us all, have you succeeded in this quest?
21865Really see it?
21865Sir,she said,"will you fight for my lord, Sir Damas?
21865That is a good plan,said the knights,"but why are you so sure that you will conquer?"
21865Then do you know of any adventure which I can seek?
21865Then whose son am I?
21865What did you see or hear?
21865What is his story?
21865What is the prize?
21865What mean you, sir?
21865What would you do?
21865When and where will you meet me in combat?
21865Where is my friend?
21865Who are they?
21865Who are you, damsel?
21865Who are you?
21865Whose is the castle?
21865Why do you grieve?
21865Why must she have a knight?
21865Why shall we do this?
21865Why?
21865Will he always be great?
21865Will you go back for it?
21865Am I to fight with all his family before I meet with him?"
21865And now are you ready to fight with the third knight, for there he stands?"
21865And will you not sell me some armor?
21865As Arthur, still gazing at the sword, rowed to shore, Merlin said to him:"My lord Arthur, which pleases you more, sword or scabbard?"
21865But is he the son of King Uther and Queen Yguerne?
21865But tell me, is there some lady whom you love?"
21865Do you believe that he is Uther''s son?"
21865He called the oldest knight in his kingdom and said to him:"Do you know anything about Arthur''s birth?"
21865He felt that he, too, was about to die, and said:"Who are you?
21865He stood gazing at Sir Hector, who said:"And now, my gracious lord, will you be good to me and mine when you are king?"
21865He turned to Sir Gawain and said:"Sir Gawain, was this quest for you?"
21865He was much bewildered, but in a moment he cried:"What is this?
21865If I fight, will you deliver also all these prisoners?"
21865One day he came to his mother and said:"Mother, may I tell you a story?"
21865She was so wonderful that Arthur looked at her for some time before he asked softly:"Who is she?"
21865Should you like to be king of this land, instead of Arthur?"
21865Sir Kay, who was watching, said to Sir Lancelot:"Why does the king send my kitchen lad to fight?
21865So again Sir Bedivere hid the sword and returned to the king, who asked:"What have you seen or heard?"
21865So he said:"What, coward, would you stop already?
21865The king said gravely:"You know all that my knights must promise?"
21865The old man said to Sir Balin:"Did you not read the letters on the cross?"
21865Then Arthur said:"Which would you rather have, the gold or the field?"
21865Then he said:"But did you not question Merlin about this?"
21865Then he said:"Can you put this sword back in its place and pull it out again?"
21865What is it?"
21865What shall I do?"
21865When she had seen them all she came back to Sir Brune and said:"Young Knight with the Ugly Coat, will you take this shield?"
21865When the Lady of the Lake approached nearer, he said:"Damsel, what sword is that?
21865Where am I?"
21865Where shall I go?
21865Will you keep it and lend me another one?"
21865Will you not tell me where I can find a place to stay for to- night?
21865Will you take the advice of Merlin?
21865Yet he wanted very much to see if he was the chosen knight, and just as the damsel was going away, he said:"Damsel, will you let me try?
21865[ Illustration:_"Gareth rode at him fiercely"_] The warrior went inside his tent for his armor, and the damsel said to Gareth:"Are you afraid?"
21865asked the king,"and what do you need?"
21865asked the maiden, eagerly,"or see it in a vision?"
21865cried he,"where is that wretch, Lord Brian?
15551A coward''s plea,said the King;"how camest thou first to have traffic with her?"
15551Do ye flee?
15551Do ye think to hinder me?
15551Fair Knight,answered Balin fiercely,"dost thou desire to fight with me?"
15551Fair youth,said he,"what would ye?"
15551How now, kitchen- knave? 15551 I pray you, fair lady,"said Sir Percivale,"who are ye that show me such kindness?"
15551Is this thy own desire?
15551Knowest thou where is my charger?
15551Lady,said Geraint,"what has befallen you?"
15551Maiden,said Gawain,"know ye this knight?"
15551My lord,said she,"seest thou yonder knight pursuing thee and many another with him?"
15551One thing, I pray you,said the squire;"why may this shield be borne by none but Sir Galahad without danger?"
15551Sir,said Geraint,"I pray you, know ye where I may find shelter for this night?"
15551Tell me,cried Geraint,"is that the knight that rode this day with a lady and a dwarf to the castle hard by?"
15551Then,said the King,"which does it behove me to do?"
15551This is a great marvel,said the King,"what may it mean?"
15551Thou wilt ride forth, my son?
15551Till ye accomplish the adventure, Turn- spit? 15551 What is his quarrel?"
15551What is your name?
15551What is your sister''s name, and who is he that oppresses her?
15551What then is all the stir in the town even now?
15551Where is the knight who was here erewhile?
15551Where may that have been?
15551Which way went they?
15551Who is your husband, fair lady?
15551Who is your lady?
15551Who think ye that this knight may be who remains sleeping when the holy vessel is so near?
15551With a good heart,said Sir Tristram;"but where may I find him?"
15551Ye speak as a fool,said the sorceress;"why should one that may command be at the beck and call of every hind and slave within his realm?
15551Accolon, Accolon,"cried the King,"is it even thou that hast fought against me?
15551And I, whither shall I go?"
15551And seeing him, Peredur cried out:"Mother, what is that, yonder?"
15551And think ye that I have not servants enow to do my bidding?"
15551And what lose ye if ye accept my offer?
15551And when the Earl saw the two fallen knights and the weeping women beside them, he stayed his horse, and said:"Ladies, what has chanced to you?"
15551And when the Queen had answered his salutation, she said:"How is it, Prince, that ye be not ridden with the hunters?"
15551And when the knight espied him, he cried to him:"Tell me, youth, saw''st thou any coming after me from the court?"
15551And who will then defend my lady''s fountain, which is the key to all her lands?
15551And you, madam, how could ye so betray me?"
15551Art dazzled by the splendour of the jewels, thou that, till now, hast ever been dear and true to me?
15551As they sat at table, the Blue Knight said:"Fair damsel, are ye not called Linet?"
15551But Gawain cried:"Why do ye draw back, traitor knight?
15551But how came ye in such a case?"
15551But what think ye of the scabbard?"
15551But when he was refreshed, the King said to him:"Whence come ye, Sir Kynon?
15551See ye not the walls that guard my stronghold?
15551Seeing this, Sir Launcelot said to Sir Lavaine:"Sir Knight, will ye give me your aid if I go to the rescue of the weaker side?
15551She went up to the King at once, and said:"Knight, will ye undertake to fight in the cause of the lord of this castle?"
15551Then cried Balin:"Who art thou?
15551Then he answered her in anger:"Did I desire thy silence or thy warning?
15551Then in great joy, he leaped from his horse, and running to Lionel, cried:"Fair brother, how came ye hither?"
15551Then said Guenevere to Geraint:"Prince, know ye yonder knight?"
15551Then said the King:"What saw''st thou?"
15551Then said the sorceress, mocking him:"Fair sir, how think ye to escape without my good- will?
15551Then the Earl, whose eye had oft sought Enid as she sat apart, said:"Have I your good leave to cross the room and speak to your fair damsel?
15551Then who shall hinder me that I take you by force?
15551Then, hiding it again, he hastened back to the King,"What saw''st thou?"
15551What can ye hope to do against me, a proven knight of Arthur''s Table?"
15551What treason tempted thee to come against me, and with mine own weapon too?"
15551What, sir, do ye not know me?"
15551When he was recovered, he said:"My Lord and uncle, is it even as this man says, that Sir Launcelot has slain my brother Sir Gareth?"
15551When the King espied Sir Peredur standing near the brook, he said to the knights about him:"Know ye yonder knight?"
15551When the damsel came to the camp, there met her Sir Lucan the Butler,"Fair damsel,"said Sir Lucan,"do ye come from Sir Launcelot?"
15551Which way went he?"
15551Why waste thy youth in hardship and in the service of such as shall render thee little enough again?"
15551Will ye fight or escape while ye may?"
15551Will ye not then await his return, that ye may see your kinsman before ye depart?"
15551cried Sir Gawain;"how came they by their death?"
15551cried the Earl,"why didst thou suffer him to escape?
15551is it Prince Geraint?
22053Ah lady,said Sir Launcelot,"why have ye betrayed me?"
22053Alas,cried the lady,"why hast thou slain my husband?"
22053And how gat ye the sword?
22053Damsel,said Arthur,"what sword is it that the arm holdeth above the water yonder?
22053Damsel,said Sir Percivale,"who hath disherited you?
22053Fie on thee,said the damsel,"shall I have none but one that is your kitchen- page?"
22053For whom?
22053God keep you,said the good man,"of whence be ye?"
22053Hope ye then,said Fair- hands,"that I may anywhere stand as a proved knight?"
22053It shall be done,said Galahad,"but where is he that hath wounded you?"
22053Jesu, mercy,said the King,"where are all my noble knights become?
22053Knew ye not the maid?
22053Now, fair lady,said King Arthur,"what say ye?"
22053Now, wotest thou what I am?
22053Sir,said he,"I agree thereto; but how wit ye that I shall sit there?"
22053Tell me, carter,said Sir Launcelot,"what shall I give thee to take me in thy cart unto a castle within two miles of here?"
22053This is a marvellous thing,said Sir Launcelot,"but what is your brother''s name?"
22053Traitor knight,said Queen Guenever,"what intendest thou to do?
22053Well,said Sir Percivale,"what wouldest thou that I did?
22053What are ye?
22053What are ye?
22053What is the name of your lady? 22053 What is your lord''s name?"
22053What sawest thou there?
22053What sawest thou there?
22053What say ye to this deed?
22053What was your husband''s name?
22053What will ye do?
22053What will ye that I shall do?
22053What,said the Queen,"do ye repent of your good deeds?
22053Wherefore I?
22053Which like you better,said Merlin,"the sword or the scabbard?"
22053Whither wilt thou?
22053Who told you, sister,said he,"that my lord''s name is Sir Launcelot?"
22053Why have ye done so? 22053 Why say ye so?"
22053Why should I not pass the water?
22053Why should I not ride this way?
22053Why,said Sir Lionel,"will ye hinder me?
22053With a good will,said the good man;"art thou of King Arthur''s court, and of the fellowship of the Round Table?"
22053With whom,said Sir Percivale,"shall I fight?"
22053Alas, thou madest him knight with thine own hands; why slewest thou him that loved thee so well?"
22053Am I not an earthly woman?
22053And knowest thou wherefore?
22053And then he alighted off his horse, and said,"Fair sweet brother, when came ye thither?"
22053And then the king cried,"Where are my knights and my men?
22053And wotest thou wherefore He hath sent me more than any other?
22053Anon the yeoman came pricking after as fast as ever he might, and asked Sir Percivale,"Saw ye, sir, any knight riding on my black steed?
22053Anon there came a damsel unto Arthur and asked him,"What cheer?"
22053Be ye not of King Arthur''s kin?"
22053But now Sir Arthur thought he must have seen this knight, and asked,"Of what country art thou, and of what court?"
22053But what are ye that proffereth me thus great kindness?"
22053But what is your name I would know?"
22053But where are my brethren?
22053Early on the morrow there came to Sir Gawaine in the prison one of the ladies of the castle, and said,"Sir Knight, what cheer?"
22053He alighted and drew his sword to slay him, and then he said to Sir Launcelot,"Shall I make an end of this war?"
22053Is not your name Linet?"
22053Just as Fair- hands overtook the damsel, Sir Kay came up, and said,"Fair- hands, what sir, know ye not me?"
22053Then came the Bishop of Canterbury, the which was a noble clerk and an holy man, and thus he said to Sir Mordred:"Sir, what will ye do?
22053Then he asked Sir Percivale,"How hast thou done since I departed?"
22053Then he said,"Ah, Melias, who hath wounded you?
22053Then heard he a voice say,"Oh, man of evil faith and poor belief, wherefore trowest thou more on thy harness than in thy Maker?
22053Then her priest bade her leave such thoughts; but she said,"Why should I leave such thoughts?
22053Then said Balin the Wild,"What knight art thou?
22053Then said He to Galahad,"Son, knowest thou what I hold betwixt my hands?"
22053Then said Sir Launcelot,"Cometh this desire of himself?"
22053Then she spake on high to her brother, King Arthur,"Where have ye done my young son, Sir Gareth?
22053Then this Garlon espied that Balin watched him, and he came and smote Balin on the face, and said:"Knight, why watchest thou me so?
22053Then would Sir Kay say,"How like you my boy of the kitchen?"
22053What art thou but a lubber and a turner of spits, and a ladle washer?"
22053When he came nigh her, she bade him ride from her,"for,"said she,"thou smellest all of the kitchen; thinkest thou that I have joy of thee?
22053When he had overtaken the damsel, anon she said:"What dost thou here?
22053When he was nigh the cross he abode still, and Sir Launcelot heard him say,"Oh, sweet Lord, when shall this sorrow leave me?
22053When she saw Sir Percivale, she said,"Who brought you in this wilderness where ye be never like to pass hence?
22053Why hidest thou thyself within holes and walls like a coward?
22053Will ye ensure me this as ye be a true knight?"
22053Will ye first displease God, and then shame yourself and all knighthood?
22053Wilt thou shame thyself?
22053With that came the damsel and said,"My lord, the Green Knight, why for shame stand ye so long fighting with the kitchen- knave?
22053With that the Black Knight, when she came nigh him, spake and said,"Damsel, have ye brought this knight of King Arthur to be your champion?"
22053With that the knight came out of the pavilion and said,"Fair knight, why smote ye down my shield?"
22053and when shall the holy vessel come by me, wherethrough I shall be blessed?
22053and where dwelleth she?
22053and who is he, and what is his name, that hath besieged her?"
22053said Arthur,"and for what cause?"
22053said Gaheris;"will ye unarm you in this country?
22053said the King;"what is the adventure?"
35598''But the quest,''the king went on,''have you seen the cup that Joseph brought long ago to Glastonbury?'' 35598 ''My Lancelot,''said the king,''our Strongest, has the quest availed for you?''
35598''Yes, yes,''said he,''are you so bold when you did n''t see the Grail? 35598 A pale fairy queen come to take Arthur to fairy land?"
35598Ah, my lord Arthur,cried Sir Bedivere,"where shall I go now?
35598And are you the renowned Geraint?
35598And suppose that I dreamed that you love this greatest knight?
35598And what music have I broken?
35598And why do n''t you go on skipping, Sir Fool?
35598Are n''t you the king?
35598Are n''t you the knight they call''Light- of- love?''
35598Armorer,cried Geraint,"what is going on?
35598But the arms, the arms, where can I get arms for myself? 35598 Damsel, is this the knight you''ve brought me?"
35598Did you do as I said?
35598Do n''t you know me?
35598Do you recognize it, child?
35598Do you suppose I will ask a favor of you?
35598Fair host and Earl,he said after his refreshing supper,"who is this sparrow- hawk that everybody in the town is talking about?
35598Fair sirs,cried Arthur,"why are you sitting here?"
35598Fie, Churl, is that an answer for a noble knight? 35598 Girl,"shouted he,"why wail over a man who shames your beauty so, by dressing it in that rag?
35598Great Master, do you love me?
35598Has n''t he conquered the Romans and driven off the heathen and made all the people free? 35598 Have you no pity for me?"
35598He could scarcely speak, but he gasped out,''Where are you from and who are you?'' 35598 Heaven knows I do n''t know much, but what is that, the phantom of a cup that comes and goes?"
35598How can I be happy over anything,replied she,"until my lord is well again?"
35598Is all really well?
35598Just as you wish,cried the King,"but why do n''t you wear the diamonds that I found for you in the tarn, which Lancelot won for you at the jousts?"
35598May I have your leave, my lord,cried Earl Limours,"to cross the room and speak a word with your lady who seems so lonely?"
35598Merlin do you love me?
35598My poor Churl,cried the king, full of indignant pity,"what beast or fiend has been after you?
35598No, no,said Percival,"what phantom do you mean?
35598O, wild man of the woods,she cried,"do n''t you understand our language, or has heaven given you a beautiful face and no tongue?"
35598People say that you have the strength of ten men; ca n''t you trust to it without depending on these toggeries and tricks?
35598Speak out; what have you seen or heard?
35598Tell me your names,demanded Arthur,"and why do you sit there by the fountain?"
35598That knight does n''t belong to the Round Table, does he?
35598The great Lancelot?
35598Three horses and three suits of armor, and all in charge of-- whom? 35598 Well, if he is n''t dead, why should you cry for him so?
35598What did you see or what did you hear?
35598What did you see?
35598What do I know?
35598What do I owe you, friends?
35598What do you mean, Vivien, with these pretty tricks of yours?
35598What do you want me to give you?
35598What does all this hubbub mean?
35598What is it?
35598What is this?
35598What knight is not overthrown sometimes? 35598 What news from Camelot?"
35598What would you like to bear on your shield?
35598What, is he dead?
35598When has Lancelot ever worn a lady''s token?
35598Where are you going, son?
35598Where do you come from, my guest, and what is your name?
35598Who are you?
35598Who is it then?
35598Who is this?
35598Who will go hunt this demon of the woods for me?
35598Why did n''t the king send me a knight that fights for love and glory?
35598Why do you laugh?
35598Why do you mock me so?
35598Why do you wear the crown royal on your shield?
35598Why do you wear the royal crown?
35598Why is your town so noisy and busy to- night, good old fellow?
35598Would some of your kind people take him up and bear him off somewhere out of this cruel sun? 35598 Yes?
35598Yes? 35598 You read the book, my pretty Vivien?"
35598''Have you seen him?
35598''Where is the crowd who called out to me?''
35598And again,"O, Merlin, do you love me?"
35598And it is a sweet surprise, is n''t it?
35598And_ then_ if I tried it on you who would blame me?"
35598Are n''t you old?"
35598Are you all Galahads or all Percivals?
35598Arms, did you say?
35598But are you going to Caerleon?
35598But, if not, all is well?"
35598Ca n''t you see by this lad''s broad fair forehead and fine hands that he is nobly born?
35598Do n''t you hate him?
35598Do n''t you see, dear love, how this strange mood of yours must make me feel it more than ever?
35598Do n''t you want to go home?
35598Do you see how weak I seem, leaning on these men?
35598Fast?
35598For why should you anyway care to go in again yourself, when you''ve already won the nine diamonds for the queen?"
35598How can you keep me tethered here, Mother?
35598How could I dare to obey him and let him be harmed?
35598I do n''t suppose that you know the old rhyme,''Trust not at all or all in all?''"
35598Is n''t that simple?
35598Is n''t your lord lucky, for were I dead who is there in all the world who would mourn for me?
35598Leodogran rejoined,"but when did you see Arthur first?"
35598Only one?
35598Or was it a man who hurt you so?"
35598Shall I lead you to the king?"
35598Shall I stop to fight them as we go by and send them back to you?"
35598She said that?"
35598So she waited until the prince approached when she said with a timid firmness,"Have I your leave to speak?"
35598So tell me now, what will you have?"
35598Then Merlin locked her hand in his and said,"Vivien, have you never seen a wave as it was coming up the beach ready to break?
35598To the right?
35598Was Bedivere right, he thought to himself, or were the barons right?
35598What do I care about it?
35598What do you say, Enid, shall we strip the earl and pay for a dinner or shall we fast?
35598What do you wish with me?"
35598What is it?"
35598Where''s the rider?
35598Who first saw the vision of the Holy Grail to- day?"
35598Who has a right to be king if not the man who has done that?
35598Why is there such a din?"
35598Why should I follow the deer when I can follow the king?
35598Why was I born a man if I can not do a man''s work?"
35598Why wo n''t you ask me for another boon?"
35598Will you fight for me and win me the crown, Pelleas, so that I may love you?"
35598Will you wear a token of me at the tournament today?"
35598You did n''t see farther than the cloud, and what can you expect to see now if you go out into the wilderness?''
35598[ Illustration: CUNNING MODRED BESIDE THE DOOR TO LISTEN]"What should I know about it?
35598backward?
35598cried Elaine as soon as she saw him,"What about the knight with the red sleeve?"
35598forward?
35598he bellowed,"the king that keeps us all with such strict vows that we ca n''t have any pleasures, a milky- hearted king?
35598he cried,"and will you love me if I win?"
35598one of them asked,"Is n''t it Lancelot?"
35598said Vivien, smiling saucily,"have you found your tongue at last?
35598she cried,"how is it with my lord Sir Lancelot?"
35598straight on?
35598to the left?
35598which is it?
6582And I?
6582And after all,said Sir Percival,"see how_ much_ we can laugh?"
6582And if I will not?
6582And these other knights? 6582 And what if we be, Sir Knight?"
6582And wherefor do you, strange Knights, dispute our passage?
6582And wherefore, lad,and dark was his frown and greatly wroth he seemed,"do you stand here watching?
6582And who are you, boy?
6582And who, my man, is that other?
6582And why can you not? 6582 And why?"
6582And you two?
6582Art thou married, Sir Launcelot?
6582By my faith, did ever better knave serve master? 6582 Come you from England?"
6582Come you with a message from Sir Percival? 6582 Did they speak of a boy being there?"
6582Did this Sir Dolphus say where your husband met his death?
6582Did this weasel king say aught as to the number of men he would send against us?
6582Do you know him?
6582Do you wish word with me, Sir Knight?
6582Does the Church object to you as Duke?
6582Dost know this knave?
6582From England''s king?
6582Have you been hurt? 6582 Have you told the lad, as yet?"
6582How did the day turn out? 6582 How did you escape the besiegers?"
6582How long Allan, is it since you left them?
6582How many men can you muster?
6582How then, Allan, did you like the affray?
6582How then, if you could, would you travel?
6582Is he forsooth one of your men, worthy Ban?
6582Is it Arthur who comes?
6582Is this Percival, he who is of King Arthur''s court?
6582Know you the knight?
6582Launcelot, my son, when will you grow to thy true self? 6582 My lord wished my presence?"
6582Need you a good yeoman?
6582Of all the fair lands we have passed through, have you yet found none that pleased you more, good Walker?
6582Of what fellowship are you, youth?
6582Say you so?
6582Say you,_''twould be?_ Yet, if I mistake not, have I heard that that blessed state is already yours. 6582 See you castle beyond yonder crossroads?"
6582Shall I ask them to wait until we finish this meal? 6582 Shall we hang this scurvy king?"
6582She must like you greatly, to be willing?
6582Sir, I beg you to do me honor of feasting with us this day?
6582Spoke you of finding castle?
6582The Grail? 6582 Then mean you, kind Merlin, that we must call not only those of the Round Table but all other knights and even pages and squires?"
6582Then perhaps you dislike me?
6582Then you do like me? 6582 Think you that they know of his whereabouts?"
6582Think you the king will be provoked at our use of him and his court?
6582Think you then, my son, you will not find it?
6582Think you, Sir Percival, these two will come?
6582What brings you here at this unseemly hour?
6582What brings you here?
6582What do we see here?
6582What does this mean, Mark? 6582 What grieves you, friend?"
6582What harm therein, my friend? 6582 What have we here?"
6582What have you wish for, Charles?
6582What ho?
6582What new knight shall be placed here?
6582What now?
6582What of him, father? 6582 What say you, Gawaine?
6582What say you, Launcelot?
6582What say you, to sending someone of us to Cadoris announcing that we shall pay him a visit of not more than a day?
6582What then are these two things?
6582What then, Sir Knight, makes you think you will find the Grail in far lands?
6582What troubles your pate, old man?
6582What use would such valor be, if I had it, if I did not but use it for its full worth? 6582 What will you, my man?"
6582What will you?
6582What wish you, knaves?
6582When did King Mark say that he would start with his men?
6582Where am I?
6582Where are these knights?
6582Who are you?
6582Who then is this party?
6582Who would be better fitted to seek and find the Holy Grail? 6582 Why, young master?"
6582Will you, good Bruyan, call Sir Bertram and Sir Pendore to me? 6582 Will you, good men, try out your bows on these hinds who are coming thitherward?"
6582Yet how can he be yours, Sir Knight, if this yeoman claims it is his master''s horse?
6582A strange gladness was in the boy''s heart, for had not his King fought for him?
6582Am I pure, am I worthy for the search?
6582And I fancy the new is also right young or I am greatly mistaken?
6582And who seeks to make himself more worthy?"
6582Are any dead?"
6582Are there any who hold greater desire to find the same?
6582Are you he?"
6582Are you then Prince of Orkney?"
6582But have you a plan, Allan?"
6582But pray you, holy father, who are you?
6582But speak, what troubles you?"
6582But where, pray, is the message bearer?
6582Could I be a true knight and not heed the call your sorrow brings?
6582Did they kill him?
6582Do you or the knight who is your master here know aught of him?"
6582Does he need our help?"
6582Does it not seem strange that I, a girl, should so do?"
6582Eh?"
6582Furthermore, see you these prizes that are mine?"
6582Has she no one who would make you trouble?"
6582How came you here, Sir Percival?"
6582How could I?"
6582How then, did the lad urge you?"
6582I pray your name?"
6582If he should come, if his blood does not turn to water, think you he will win from the Red Knight?"
6582In what way can we be of service to thee?"
6582Is he dead?
6582Is it not so, Launcelot?"
6582Is it not so, friends?"
6582Is it not so?
6582Is it not so?"
6582Is it not so?"
6582Is it not so?"
6582It is wonderful to look forward to that, is it not?"
6582Lad,"and the newcomer turned to the boy,"why does this arrogant knight wish you harm?"
6582May we find lodging within your walls?"
6582Mayhap you have met with them?"
6582Now then tell me what news is there of tomorrow?"
6582Say you not so, friends?
6582See how harmless I am?
6582See you him?"
6582Shall we return?"
6582Since that the lady is not with you?"
6582Since the weasel comes after us and leaves his home empty, why not go to the home of the weasel?"
6582Sir Launcelot and Sir Tristram, too, had spent much time with him-- could there have been better teachers?
6582Sir Percival?
6582So when the tale was done, Sir Galahad turned to his friend and said"Know you perchance where Merlin is?"
6582So young, yet is he too, to be burdened with great responsibilities?
6582Such trouncing as I wish to give this lad I can easily give to you, Sir Knight, and you wish it?"
6582The Beggar And The Grail WHO WAS KING ARTHUR?
6582Think you not so, madame?"
6582Well have you kept your purpose high, knightly have your deeds been?"
6582What ado wish you to make of it?"
6582What are these boons you ask?"
6582What else could I do but try to oust them?"
6582What greater glory could there be than to fight for such a King and with such brave men?
6582What matters a day more or less?"
6582What saith thou?"
6582What say you Cadoris?"
6582What say you Gawaine?"
6582What say you friends?"
6582What say you, Gareth?"
6582What say you?"
6582What say you?"
6582What scurvy trick have you now tried?"
6582What sooth, what matters it, which you and all of these,"and Sir Dagonet pointed to the others with them,"which you think me?
6582What, I pray you, keeps me from entering this castle now and taking you by force, if need be?"
6582When does your master plan to come?"
6582Where then is this page?
6582Wherefore then to whom am I grateful?
6582Whether it is men of Cadoris or of Arthur, of what matter?"
6582Which way do you go, lad?"
6582Who else is there?"
6582Who else is wounded?
6582Why your haste?"
6582Will you help him Launcelot?
6582Will you see to these things here?"
6582Will you, Sir Herald, bring him forth?"
6582Yet can I see no harm in straying from our way an hour or two, can you, Percival?"
12753Ah, Tristram,said she,"why wilt thou not fight in this tournament?
12753Ah, well,said Balin, drawing a long breath,"is that indeed the man?
12753Ah,said Sir Bleoberis, amazed;"hast thou then met with them?
12753Alas,said King Arthur,"what hast thou done, Merlin?
12753Art thou that proud knight,said the duke,"who was ready to fight with me?
12753Cometh this desire from himself?
12753Cometh this prayer from thee or from thy son?
12753Fair damsel,answered he,"know ye not that the knight ye love is of all knights the noblest in the world, Sir Lancelot du Lake?
12753Fair damsel,said he"whither lead ye this knight?"
12753For what cause?
12753God be with thee, fair damsel,quoth the king;"what desirest thou of me?"
12753Have I not seen thee,said the king,"at King Arthur''s court?
12753How are ye named?
12753How sayest thou?
12753I consent not,cried Sir Tristram,"for who is here that will give rightful judgment?
12753In whose name shall I greet him?
12753Is he Sir Lancelot?
12753Know ye not then yourself?
12753Madam,said he,"what would you have me do?
12753May I not take the damsel with me I brought hither?
12753May I, then, stand as a proved knight?
12753Now God be thanked,cried he;"but who is he that standeth yonder by himself, and seemeth not a prisoner?"
12753Now tell me, fair sir, at the least,said the squire,"why may this shield be never borne except its wearer come to injury or death?"
12753Now, fair lady,said King Arthur,"what say ye?"
12753Now, mercy,said Sir Gawain, who sat by King Arthur;"what knight is that who doth such marvellous deeds of arms?
12753Ride ye after the knight with the white hound?
12753Seest thou yonder blue pavilion?
12753Shall I not call him traitor,cried she,"who hath worn another lady''s token at the jousting?"
12753Shall I not therefore rather meet them?
12753Shall we be afraid of a dream- reader?
12753Sir Lionel,he cried,"will ye slay your brother, one of the best knights of all the world?
12753Sir knight,said King Arthur,"for what cause abidest thou here?
12753Sirs,said Sir Galahad,"what adventure hath brought ye here?"
12753Take ye no warning from those knights that hang on yonder trees?
12753That is false,said King Arthur;"how shouldst thou know?
12753Then am I sure of thy aid,said the king,"on Tuesday now next coming?"
12753Then wherefore cometh he in such array?
12753Thou hast defeated us, in truth,replied Sir Sagramour,"and on the faith of knighthood I require thee tell us thy right name?"
12753Thou sayest well,replied Sir Lancelot;"but who is he thou hatest so above all others?"
12753Well,said the queen,"is this your answer, that ye refuse us all?"
12753Well,said they,"will ye die?"
12753What are ye, and whence come ye?
12753What art thou,said King Arthur, starting up all pale,"that tellest me these tidings?"
12753What be they?
12753What damsel is that?
12753What hast thou to do between me and my wife?
12753What is her name, and who is he that hath besieged her?
12753What is thy husband''s name?
12753What is thy lord''s name, lady?
12753What is thy lord''s name?
12753What is thy name?
12753What is thy name?
12753What is thy name?
12753What knight is that?
12753What meaneth this?
12753What noise is this?
12753What saw ye, sirs?
12753What saw ye?
12753What sawest thou?
12753What tidings at Camelot?
12753What tidings?
12753What were their names?
12753What will ye do, Sir knight?
12753What will ye do?
12753What wilt thou?
12753Where dwelleth your lady?
12753Where had ye this adventure?
12753Where is Sir Lancelot?
12753Where is the maiden?
12753Where shall I meet thee again?
12753Where,said Sir Galahad,"shall we find a girdle for it?"
12753Wherefore askest thou that?
12753Wherefore make so much sorrow now?
12753Wherefore so smitest thou my horse, foul dwarf?
12753Wherefore?
12753Whither fleest thou?
12753Who are ye, son?
12753Who is he?
12753Who is he?
12753Who is it?
12753Who is it?
12753Who then is he?
12753Why have ye slain my hounds?
12753Why hidest thou thy name, dear lord, from me?
12753Why ridest thou over here without my leave?
12753Why say ye so?
12753Why should I not pass over them?
12753Why should I not,said he,"since for that cause I came here?"
12753Why should I not?
12753Why should ye do so?
12753Why,said Sir Lionel,"will ye hinder me and meddle in this strife?
12753Why,said Sir Tristram,"may not a Cornish knight do well as any other?
12753Wilt thou be warrant for safe conduct, if I go with thee?
12753Wilt thou for ever deem me coward?
12753Wilt thou match those two knights,said the damsel to Sir Beaumains,"or return again?"
12753Ye be welcome,said he,"but whence are ye?"
12753And presently he said within himself,"If I now throw this sword into the water, what good should come of it?"
12753And taking his horse, he rode after him, and said,"Know ye not me, Beaumains?"
12753And the damsel rode on before Sir Beaumains, and said to him,"Why dost thou follow me, thou kitchen boy?
12753And the damsel went into the ship with them, and spake to Sir Percival:"Sir Percival, know ye not who I am?"
12753And they cried to him,"Whence comest thou?"
12753And when he saw him he was filled with joy, and lighted from his horse, and ran to him and said,"Fair brother, when came ye hither?"
12753And when he was unarmed, the damsel said to her lady,"Madam, shall we abide here this night?"
12753Anon came out the knight- hermit, whose name was Sir Baldwin, and asked,"Who is this wounded knight?"
12753Anon she said,"Where is my youngest son, Sir Gareth?
12753Anon the bishop gave him the sacrament, and when he had received it with unspeakable gladness, he said,"Who art thou, father?"
12753Anon, they sent him a fair damsel, bearing his supper, who asked him,"What cheer?"
12753Are there no bigger knights in King Arthur''s court?
12753Art thou called of men a noble knight, and wouldest betray me for a jewelled sword?
12753At noon the damsel came to him and brought his dinner, and asked him as before,"What cheer?"
12753At that a knight came out of the pavilion and said,"Fair knight, why smote ye down my shield?"
12753But Sir Lionel answered, with an angry face,"What vain words be these, when for you I might have been slain?
12753But no sooner was he brought to him than he asked in a loud voice, for what cause he was thus dragged there?
12753But tell mefirst, what soughtest thou thus here alone, and of what land art thou?"
12753But the damsel cheered the Green Knight, and said,"My lord, why wilt thou let a kitchen knave so long stand up against thee?"
12753But thereupon the damsel was full wroth, and said,"Shall I have a kitchen page for this adventure?"
12753But when he told her she must leave her earthly thoughts, she answered,"Am I not an earthly woman?
12753Did not even Shakespeare calmly give cannon to the Romans and suppose every continental city to lie majestically beside the sea?
12753Hearing him cry, Sir Balin fiercely turned his horse, and said,"Fair knight, what wilt thou with me?
12753How say ye?"
12753I am yet a feeble knight, and but for thee had been a dead man now: what wouldest thou I should do?
12753I pray thee tell me who gave thee this sword?
12753Is it not time to stay this slaying?
12753Of what court art thou?"
12753On the morrow, came one of the ladies to Sir Gawain, and talked with him, saying,"Sir knight, what cheer?"
12753On the twenty- fifth day he opened his eyes and saw those standing round, and said,"Why have ye waked me?
12753See ye not what people we have lost in waiting on the footmen, and that it costs ten horsemen to save one of them?
12753Sir Sagramour looked haughtily at Sir Tristram, and made mocking of his words, and said,"Fair knight, be ye a knight of Cornwall?"
12753Sir knight of the Round Table, dost thou withdraw thee from so young a knight?
12753So, on the morrow, King Arthur was armed and well horsed, and asked Sir Damas,"When shall we go to the field?"
12753Soon he found means to ask one who sat near him,"Is there not here a knight whose name is Garlon?"
12753The king being surprised at this, said,"Damsel, wherefore art thou girt with that sword, for it beseemeth thee not?"
12753Then all men asked,"Know ye him, lord?"
12753Then came the queen to him and said,"Sir Lancelot, will ye leave me thus at this high feast?"
12753Then he asked Sir Lancelot,"Was it from this maid who tendeth you so lovingly ye had the token?"
12753Then said King Arthur,"What is thy first request?"
12753Then said King Arthur,"Who are ye, thus groaning and complaining?"
12753Then said Sir Balin le Savage,"What knight art thou?
12753Then said Sir Gawain,"Know ye that knight?"
12753Then said Sir Lancelot, very sad at heart,"Fair maid, what would ye that I should do for you?"
12753Then said Sir Lavaine, marvelling greatly,"How know ye my lord''s name, fair sister?"
12753Then said he to a page who stood without,"What noise is this I hear?"
12753Then said he-- keeping his own visor down--"I pray thee tell me of what country art thou, and what court?"
12753Then said the damsel,"See you that ivory horn hanging upon the sycamore- tree?
12753Then said the king to the damsel Linet,"Why cometh not the Lady Lyones to visit her knight, Sir Gareth, who hath had such travail for her love?"
12753Then said the old man,"Why art thou so sad?"
12753Then the hermit gazed long on Sir Lancelot, and hardly knew him, so pale he was with bleeding, yet said he at the last,"Who art thou, lord?"
12753Then the king asked Sir Gareth whether he would have that lady for his wife?
12753Then turning to Merlin, Arthur said,"Prophesy now, O Merlin, shall Sir Tor become a worthy knight, or not?"
12753Then was Sir Lancelot passing heavy of heart, and said to Sir Bernard and Sir Lavaine,"What shall I do for her?"
12753Then, looking at them both as they lay grovelling on the grass, Sir Tristram said,"Fair knights, will ye joust any more?
12753Then, turning again to the magicians, Merlin said,"Tell me now, false sycophants, what there is underneath that pool?"
12753Therewith the damsel came to King Arthur, and saluted him, and he saluted her, and said,"Lady, what sword is that the arm holdeth above the water?
12753What sin is it to love the noblest knight of all the world?
12753What would you with that beast?"
12753When Sir Marhaus and Sir Tristram were thus left alone, Sir Marhaus said,"Young knight Sir Tristram what doest thou here?
12753When he awoke he saw a woman standing by him, who said to him right fiercely,"Sir Percival, what doest thou here?"
12753When they had saluted each other, Sir Lancelot said,"Fair damsel, knowest thou where any adventures may be had in this country?"
12753When they were landed came a squire and asked them,"Be ye of King Arthur''s court?"
12753Whereat Sir Ector, turning to young Arthur, asked him--"How gottest thou the sword?"
12753Why give ye not your mercy unto them that ask it?
12753Why hast thou slain those children and that fair lady?
12753Will ye soon again speak shame of Cornish knights?"
12753With that came the Black Knight to the damsel, and said,"Fair damsel, hast thou brought this knight from Arthur''s court to be thy champion?"
12753and from whom thou hadst it?"
12753but who may escape the doom of God?"
12753cried Sir Lancelot,"why have ye betrayed me?"
12753cried Sir Lavaine,"what shall I do now?"
12753cried out King Arthur, rising up in wrath;"why hast thou done this, shaming both me and my court?
12753cried out the lady;"will ye take away my hound from me by force?"
12753dear brother, why have ye tarried so long, for your wound hath taken cold?"
12753hast thou slain this good knight by thy crafts?
12753mine own dear father and my brother, why kneel ye thus to me?"
12753my lord King Arthur, what shall become of me now ye have gone from me?"
12753said King Arthur,"where is that knight?
12753said Sir Lancelot;"but what is your brother''s name?"
12753said Sir Tristram;"art thou a knight at all?"
12753shouted he,"who taught thee to distress fair ladies thus?"
12753to joust with any knight that passeth by?
12753what do ye here, within these borders?"
12753what dost thou here?
12753what shall that aid me?"
12753why wilt thou slay this lady?
12753will ye have never done?
12753wilt thou joust?"
12753would ye give the ancient sceptre of this land unto a boy born none know how?"
26646''Ah, Sir Bors,''she cried when he was come,''have the tidings reached you that Sir Lancelot has been a false Knight to me?''
26646''Ah,''cried Sir Lancelot,''is it you, then, Galahad?''
26646''And what are the berries that Fionn asks of us?''
26646''And what is that boon,''said Robin Hood,''which Little John begs of me?''
26646''And what say you, fair lady?''
26646''And what will you do if you lose your lands?''
26646''Before I join hands with you, tell me first what sort of life is this you lead?
26646''But how shall I make them believe in what has befallen us?''
26646''But where is the monk that should have brought these letters?''
26646''But why am I the King?''
26646''Coward,''said Roland,''who has told you that you might dare to set hands on Roland, living or dead?
26646''Do you know him?''
26646''Do you not know me?''
26646''Do you think I could really stand against a proved Knight?''
26646''Do you think I set store by what you have done?
26646''Fair Maid,''asked Sir Gawaine,''is that Knight your love?''
26646''Fair lord,''replied Marsile,''what shall I have to do in order to kill Roland?''
26646''Fie on you,''cried the damsel,''will you give me none but a kitchen boy to rescue my lady?''
26646''For whom?''
26646''Ha,''said the King,''is it, then, a dream?''
26646''Hast thou thy land again?''
26646''Have you any tidings of the son of O''Dowd?''
26646''Have you brothers or sisters?''
26646''Have you brought my money?''
26646''Have you business with him?''
26646''Have you fallen into the river that your clothes are wet?''
26646''Have you no one who would stay surety for you?''
26646''How came he, Sir Lancelot, to slay Sir Gareth?''
26646''How can a boy like you know that?''
26646''How can this be?''
26646''How comes it that these bellows are sprinkled with blood?''
26646''How could I heal you, O Diarmid?''
26646''How could you speak so to my uncle, the best man that ever wore a sword?''
26646''How did this evil come to pass?''
26646''How did you come by it?''
26646''How did you meet him first?''
26646''How doth my lord Sir Lancelot?''
26646''If he be a fitting son- in- law for you, why should he not be a fitting husband for me?''
26646''Is it you or your son that has thought of this honour?''
26646''Is it you, William, that men look to as their leader, and whom they call Fierbras, who will do this cowardly deed?''
26646''Is that Knight who owns this shield your love?''
26646''Is that all?''
26646''Is that my brother the Black Knight who is with you?''
26646''Is that the counsel of you all to me?''
26646''Is there any man among you who can do that?''
26646''Is there wine in your ships?''
26646''It is well,''replied Merlin,''that you should take a wife, but is there any woman that you love better than another?''
26646''King Nidud,''answered one of the courtiers,''that you should take himself and his goods is well, but why send a troop of soldiers against one man?
26646''Lady,''he cried,''what good can such a plaything do me?
26646''Let us understand each other plainly,''he said;''is it your wish to be avenged of Roland?
26646''Madam,''replied Sir Lancelot,''does such a question come from you?
26646''Madam,''said he,''what can I do?
26646''My friend,''said he,''why have you done this?
26646''My lords,''said Charles, calling all his barons together,''you see these narrow defiles through which we must pass?
26646''Noble lords, what envoy shall we send to King Marsile at Saragossa?''
26646''O my faithful Durendal, do you know that the hour of our parting has come?''
26646''Oh what shall I do?''
26646''Pray why do you weep for me?''
26646''Reynold Greenleaf,''cried the Sheriff,''what are you doing here, and where have you been?''
26646''Roland,''cried he,''do you see those shining helmets and glittering swords?
26646''Say you so?''
26646''See,''said the Saracens,''did you ever behold a prouder warrior?''
26646''Shall I tell this to my lord Arthur?''
26646''Sir Lancelot,''asked the Queen,''what is the cause of all this wrath?''
26646''Sir Meliagraunce has taken a great deal upon him,''said the King,''but where is Sir Lancelot?''
26646''Sir,''answered Sir Bors,''I agree thereto, but how know you that I shall sit there?''
26646''Sir,''said Gawaine,''by your words it seems that our sins will not let us labour in that quest?''
26646''Sir,''said the squire,''what is your name?''
26646''Sirs,''said Sir Galahad,''what adventure brought you hither?''
26646''Tell me,''said she to the Count,''who is that young man who bears lightly on his shoulder that huge piece of wood which would weigh down a horse?
26646''That I know well,''said the Queen,''but what would you have more?
26646''Then what do you here without it?''
26646''Then why is he clad in armour?''
26646''Then you know his name?''
26646''Then you will not listen to word of marriage from me?''
26646''Traitor,''cried the Queen,''what evil deed would you do?
26646''Was it not given to you that whoever should drink from the palms of your hands should become young and whole again?''
26646''Well, what do you say now?''
26646''Were any Knights present when you did this?''
26646''What Knight are you?''
26646''What Knight is he?''
26646''What aileth you?''
26646''What ails you now?''
26646''What ails you?''
26646''What are you doing here?''
26646''What are you doing, comrade?''
26646''What are you going to do now?''
26646''What are you?''
26646''What berries are those that Fionn wants?''
26646''What did you see there?''
26646''What do you wish me to do?''
26646''What is it?''
26646''What is the matter, good wives?''
26646''What is the matter?''
26646''What is the matter?''
26646''What is the sum?''
26646''What is your name?''
26646''What is your name?''
26646''What is your sister''s name, and where does she dwell?
26646''What makes you so sad?''
26646''What shall I do next?''
26646''What shall I do touching this, O Oscar?''
26646''What shall I do, O Ossian, with the bonds that have been laid on me?''
26646''What shall we do concerning these youths, O Grania,''said Fionn,''for I have not men enough to go through many such fights?''
26646''What should I do?''
26646''What sort of a man can you be?''
26646''What tidings of the son of O''Dowd?''
26646''What tidings, Little John?''
26646''What would you have me do?''
26646''What you say is wonderful,''replied Marsile,''but after all he has done, will repose never seem sweet to him?''
26646''What, nephew,''cried the King,''sits the wind in that door?
26646''When shall we meet again?''
26646''Whence come you?''
26646''Where are you going?''
26646''Where are you going?''
26646''Where is King Arthur?''
26646''Where is Sir Lancelot?''
26646''Where is that false traitor Sir Meliagraunce, Knight of the Round Table?
26646''Where is your sword that I may knight you?''
26646''Where?''
26646''Where_ are_ your friends?''
26646''Which of us has the truth on his side, O Diarmid?''
26646''Whither went the son of O''Dowd?''
26646''Who are you that ask?''
26646''Who are you?''
26646''Who are you?''
26646''Who are you?''
26646''Who are you?''
26646''Who else would have cut down the trees, and have made a palisade of them, and cut seven doors in it?
26646''Who has made this great slaughter?''
26646''Who is that?''
26646''Who is your master?''
26646''Who slew him?''
26646''Who told you, sister, that my lord''s name was Sir Lancelot?''
26646''Why did he do that?''
26646''Why did you not tell us?''
26646''Why do you bear such malice?''
26646''Why do you laugh?''
26646''Why do you say that?''
26646''Why do you, my father and brother, kneel to me?''
26646''Why do you, who were but now so strong and mighty, so suddenly yield to me?''
26646''Why have you risen so early?''
26646''Why should I, who am a Knight of the Round Table, turn out of any path that pleases me?''
26646''Why should she go from you?''
26646''Why?''
26646''Will he always be a thorn in my side?
26646''Will you fight them or turn back?''
26646''Will you promise me this?''
26646''Would you shoot a man who has no arms but a staff?''
26646''Yes, Sir, forsooth,''answered Sir Percivale,''why do you want to know?''
26646''You are welcome,''said Lancelot, and the Knight saluted him and said,''What is your name?
26646''You do me much honour,''replied Wayland,''but what have I done to be loaded with chains like this?''
26646''You have said well,''he answered,''yet King Marsile is my deadly enemy, and how do I know that I can put my trust in your offers?''
26646''You will not betray me if I do?''
26646*****''Who can kill a hart of grace five hundred paces off?''
26646And again, who is there who would dare to attack Roland?
26646And as he rode, Charles had only one thought,''If Roland is slain, shall I find one man alive?''
26646And at midnight he waked and saw before him a woman, who said to him right fiercely,''Sir Percivale, what doest thou here?''
26646And how did Marsile treat them?
26646And in the top of the tree Diarmid heard him, and said,''O Ossian, why am I not there to show you?''
26646And now, O children of Moirna, will you fight me or seek the berries?''
26646And who is the man that besieges her, and where does he come from?''
26646And you, Sir Aimeri, has your courage failed you also?
26646As they rode the King looked lovingly on his sword, which Merlin saw, and, smiling, said,''Which do you like best, the sword or the scabbard?''
26646At last the damsel came and stood beside them, and said,''My lord the Green Knight, why for very shame do you stand so long fighting a kitchen knave?
26646But how should I bear it if the Pagans captured you and carried you to Spain?''
26646But is this damsel that is so busy about you the Fair Maid of Astolat?''
26646But the Knight drew near and said to her,''Damsel, have you brought this Knight from King Arthur''s Court to be your champion?''
26646But where are my brethren?
26646Death was drawing nearer; what was he to do?
26646Did I not forbid anyone to mock at him, and do you dare to disobey my orders?
26646Do you think I shall let you run away like hares?
26646Do you think to change my heart towards you because of yonder Knight whom you slew?
26646Does he mean to murder us?''
26646For did you not bear away Grania from me before all the men of Erin the night you were set as guard over her in Tara?''
26646Go back to Wayland, or follow Eigil into the river?
26646Has he been baptized?''
26646He jumped from his horse and rubbed his flanks, saying to him the while,''Bausant, what will you do?
26646How am I to know whose goods I shall take, and whose I shall leave?
26646How is he to get here?''
26646If Roland goes to the rear, who then shall command the van?''
26646Is he slain?''
26646Is not every hill covered with Pagans?''
26646Is not her name Linet?''
26646Is not the emerald better than grass?
26646Is not the ruby better than roses?
26646Is not the sapphire better than the sky?
26646Just as Beaumains came up with the damsel, Sir Kay reached Beaumains, and said,''Beaumains, do you not know me?''
26646March on, sire; why make halt?
26646Meanwhile would it please you to see the inside of this castle?''
26646My Lady Gibourc, shall I ever again behold you?
26646Now, does he swear falsely, or can I trust his oath?''
26646O Charles, my King, why do you not come to us?
26646Oh, why did Sir Lancelot slay them?
26646Oliver, tell me, how can we let him know what straits we are in?''
26646ROBIN AT COURT''Have you any green cloth,''asked the King,''that you could sell to me?''
26646So when the maiden drew near Arthur saluted her and said,''Maiden, I pray you tell me whose sword is that which an arm is holding out of the water?
26646Something in her heart told Gibourc that this might be her brother, but she only asked again,''Where do you come from?''
26646Speak, O Diarmid, is the truth with me or with Oscar?''
26646The King heard and again waxed cold with fear; the nobles heard and whispered low,''Who is strong enough to compass this matter?
26646The King was silent with wonder at the strange sight, but at last he said,''Damsel, why do you wear this sword?
26646The giant raised his head and looked at him:''Are you fain to break peace, O Diarmid?''
26646Then the gentlewoman turned and said,''Percivale, do you know who I am?''
26646To whom shall I give the command of the rear- guard which must protect the rest of my army?''
26646Was it not I who avenged you and slew fifty of your enemies who tried to set on fire the house wherein you were holding your great feast?
26646What do you want with it?''
26646What is his name?''
26646What is your answer?''
26646What say you, my lords?''
26646What shall I do?
26646What tidings from Nottingham, Little John?''
26646What_ was_ the Holy Graal?
26646When he reached the other side, a damsel came to him crying,''O Knight Balin, why have you left your own shield behind you?
26646When will he grow tired of all these wars?
26646Where did you find him?''
26646Where is my uncle?
26646Where is your sword Hauteclair, with its guard of gold and its handle of crystal?''
26646Who could count the Franks who were stretched there, never more to see their wives or their mothers, or the comrades that awaited them in the defiles?
26646Who could ever paint what Charlemagne is?
26646Whom I shall beat, and whom I shall refrain from beating?''
26646Why do you leave the mountains of Finmark?
26646Will you leave us?
26646You will only lose yourselves, and starve, and when the nine years are ended who can tell where you may be?''
26646asked Grania,''and why can not they be got for him?''
26646asked Little John, going up to the monk,''and can you give us tidings of a false outlaw named Robin Hood, who was taken prisoner yesterday?
26646asked the King,''and what is the adventure?''
26646asked the Queen;''do you repent yourself of your good deeds?
26646cried Sir Bedivere,''what shall become of me now you go from me, and I am left here alone with my enemies?''
26646cried Sir Gawaine,''what Knight is that yonder who does such marvellous deeds?''
26646cried William,''has the world ever seen so wise a lady?''
26646cried she,''have you really forgotten me?
26646replied the Queen,''I have neither sword nor spear nor armour, and how can you resist them?
26646said King Arthur,''is he then so badly wounded?
26646said the Maid of Astolat,''and what was his hurt?''
26646she said,''how may this be?
26646you that stand there, have you seen King Arthur?''
4926Ah, Tristram''far away from me, Art thou from restless anguish free? 4926 Ah, lady,"said Geraint,"what hath befallen thee?"
4926And art thou certain that if that knight knew all this, he would come to thy rescue?
4926And how can I do that?
4926And is it thus they have done with a maiden such as she, and moreover my sister, bestowing her without my consent? 4926 And what dost thou here?"
4926And what may that be?
4926And who is he?
4926And who was it that slew them?
4926And you, wherefore come you?
4926By what means will that be?
4926Damsel,said Sir Perceval,"who hath disinherited you?
4926Did he meet with thee?
4926Didst thou hear what Llywarch sung, The intrepid and brave old man? 4926 Didst thou inquire of them if they possessed any art?"
4926Do you do this as one of the best knights?
4926Dost thou know him?
4926Dost thou know how much I owe thee?
4926Fair brother, when came ye hither?
4926Fair damsel,said Sir Launcelot,"know ye in this country any adventures?"
4926Fair knight,said he,"how is it with you?"
4926Geraint,said Guenever,"knowest thou the name of that tall knight yonder?"
4926Has he not given it before the presence of these nobles?
4926Hast thou heard what Avaon sung, The son of Taliesin, of the recording verse? 4926 Hast thou heard what Garselit sung, The Irishman whom it is safe to follow?
4926Hast thou heard what Llenleawg sung, The noble chief wearing the golden torques? 4926 Hast thou hope of being released for gold or for silver, or for any gifts of wealth, or through battle and fighting?"
4926Hast thou not received all thou didst ask?
4926Have you any tidings?
4926Heaven prosper thee, Geraint,said she;"and why didst thou not go with thy lord to hunt?"
4926I come, lord, from singing in England; and wherefore dost thou inquire?
4926I put the case,said Palamedes,"that you were well armed, and I naked as ye be; what would you do to me now, by your true knighthood?"
4926I stand in need of counsel,he answered,"and what may that counsel be?"
4926I will gladly,said he;"and in which direction dost thou intend to go?"
4926In the name of Heaven,said Manawyddan,"where are they of the court, and all my host beside?
4926Is it known,said Arthur,"where she is?"
4926Is it time for us to go to meat?
4926Is not that a mouse that I see in thy hand?
4926Journeying on from break of day, Feel you not fatigued, my fair? 4926 Know ye,"said Arthur,"who is the knight with the long spear that stands by the brook up yonder?"
4926Knowest thou his name?
4926Lady,he said,"wilt thou tell me aught concerning thy purpose?"
4926Lady,said he,"knowest thou where our horses are?"
4926Lady,said they,"what thinkest thou that this is?"
4926Lord,said Kicva,"wherefore should this be borne from these boors?"
4926Lord,said she,"didst thou hear the words of those men concerning thee?"
4926Lord,said she,"what craft wilt thou follow?
4926My men,said Pwyll,"is there any among you who knows yonder lady?"
4926My son,said she,"desirest thou to ride forth?"
4926My soul,said Gawl,"will thy bag ever be full?"
4926My soul,said Pwyll,"what is the boon thou askest?"
4926Now where did he overtake thee?
4926Now, fellow,said King Arthur,"canst thou bring me there where this giant haunteth?"
4926Now,quoth Owain,"would it not be well to go and endeavor to discover that place?"
4926Now,said Arthur,"where is the maiden for whom I heard thou didst give challenge?"
4926O my lord,said she,"what dost thou here?"
4926Say ye so?
4926Seest thou yonder red tilled ground?
4926Sir knight,said Arthur,"for what cause abidest thou here?"
4926Sir, what penance shall I do?
4926Sir,said Geraint,"what is thy counsel to me concerning this knight, on account of the insult which the maiden of Guenever received from the dwarf?"
4926Sir,said Sir Bedivere,"what man is there buried that ye pray so near unto?"
4926Sir,said Sir Bohort,"but how know ye that I shall sit there?"
4926Sir,said Sir Galahad,"can you tell me the marvel of the shield?"
4926Sir,said she,"when thinkest thou that Geraint will be here?"
4926Sir,said the king,"is it your will to alight and partake of our cheer?"
4926Sirs,said Sir Galahad,"what adventure brought you hither?"
4926Tell me, good lad,said one of them,"sawest thou a knight pass this way either today or yesterday?"
4926Tell me, tall man,said Perceval,"is that Arthur yonder?"
4926Tell me,said Sir Bohort,"knowest thou of any adventure?"
4926Tell me,said the knight,"didst thou see any one coming after me from the court?"
4926That will I not, by Heaven,she said;"yonder man was the first to whom my faith was ever pledged; and shall I prove inconstant to him?"
4926Then Perceval told him his name, and said,Who art thou?"
4926There is; wherefore dost thou call?
4926This is indeed a marvel,said he;"saw you aught else?"
4926This will I do gladly; and who art thou?
4926Traitor knight,said Queen Guenever,"what wilt thou do?
4926Truly,said Pwyll,"this is to me the most pleasing quest on which thou couldst have come; and wilt thou tell me who thou art?"
4926Verily,said she,"what thinkest thou to do?"
4926What are ye?
4926What discourse,said Guenever,"do I hear between you?
4926What doth my knight the while? 4926 What harm is there in that, lady?"
4926What has become,said they,"of Caradoc, the son of Bran, and the seven men who were left with him in this island?"
4926What hast thou there, lord?
4926What have ye seen?
4926What is the forest that is seen upon the sea?
4926What is the lofty ridge, with the lake on each side thereof?
4926What is there about him,asked Arthur,"that thou never yet didst see his like?"
4926What is this?
4926What is thy craft?
4926What is your lord''s name?
4926What is your name?
4926What is your name?
4926What kind of a thief may it be, lord, that thou couldst put into thy glove?
4926What knight is he that thou hatest so above others?
4926What manner of thief is that?
4926What manner of thief, lord?
4926What sawest thou there?
4926What sawest thou there?
4926What say ye to this adventure,said Sir Gawain,"that one spear hath felled us all four?"
4926What saying was that?
4926What sort of meal?
4926What then wouldst thou?
4926What thinkest thou that we should do concerning this?
4926What treatment is there for guests and strangers that alight in that castle?
4926What was that?
4926What wight art thou,the lady said,"that will not speak to me?
4926What wilt thou more?
4926What work art thou upon?
4926What wouldst thou with Arthur?
4926Where are my pages and my servants? 4926 Where is Cuchulain?"
4926Where is he that seeks my daughter? 4926 Where is the Earl Ynywl,"said Geraint,"and his wife and his daughter?"
4926Where,said she,"are thy companion and thy dogs?"
4926Wherefore came she to me?
4926Wherefore comes he?
4926Wherefore not?
4926Wherefore not?
4926Wherefore wilt thou not?
4926Wherefore,said Evnissyen,"comes not my nephew, the son of my sister, unto me?
4926Which way went they hence?
4926Who may he be?
4926Whose are the sheep that thou dost keep, and to whom does yonder castle belong?
4926Why dost thou ask my name?
4926Why should I not prove adventures?
4926Why withdrawest thou, false traitor?
4926Why, who is he?
4926Why,said Sir Lionel,"will ye stay me?
4926Why?
4926Will she come here if she is sent to?
4926Will this please thee?
4926Willest thou this, lord?
4926Wilt thou follow my counsel,said the youth,"and take thy meal from me?"
4926Wilt thou follow the counsel of another?
4926Yes, in truth,said she;"and who art thou?"
4926And Arthur said to him,"Hast thou news from the gate?"
4926And Gawain was much grieved to see Arthur in his state, and he questioned him, saying,"O my lord, what has befallen thee?"
4926And Gwernach said to him,"O man, is it true that is reported of thee, that thou knowest how to burnish swords?"
4926And Kilwich said to Yspadaden Penkawr,"Is thy daughter mine now?"
4926And Sir Launcelot heard him say,"O sweet Lord, when shall this sorrow leave me, and when shall the holy vessel come by me whereby I shall be healed?"
4926And after twenty- four days he opened his eyes; and when he saw folk he made great sorrow, and said,"Why have ye wakened me?
4926And as they came in, every one of Pwyll''s knights struck a blow upon the bag, and asked,"What is here?"
4926And his father inquired of him,"What has come over thee, my son, and what aileth thee?"
4926And now, wilt thou come to guide me out of the town?"
4926And the earl said to Enid,"Alas, lady, what hath befallen thee?"
4926And the maiden bent down towards her, and said,"What aileth thee, that thou answereth no one to- day?"
4926And the queen said,"Ah, dear brother, why have ye tarried so long?
4926And the woman asked them,"Upon what errand come you here?"
4926And then he said to the man,"Canst thou tell me the way to some chapel, where I may bury this body?"
4926And they spoke unto him, and said,"O man, whose castle is that?"
4926And they went up to the mound whereon the herdsman was, and they said to him,"How dost thou fare, herdsman?"
4926And thinking that he knew him, he inquired of him,"Art thou Edeyrn, the son of Nudd?"
4926And what work art thou upon, lord?"
4926And what, lord, art thou doing?"
4926And when meat was ended, Pwyll said,"Where are the hosts that went yesterday to the top of the mound?"
4926And whence dost thou come, scholar?"
4926And who will proceed with thee, since thou art not strong enough to traverse the land of Loegyr alone?"
4926And with this they put questions one to another, Who had braver men?
4926And ye also, who are ye?"
4926Asked Gwyddno,"Art thou able to speak, and thou so little?"
4926Bethink thee how thou art a king''s son, and a knight of the Table Round, and how thou art about to dishonor all knighthood and thyself?"
4926But how is mythology to be taught to one who does not learn it through the medium of the languages of Greece and Rome?
4926But may not the requisite knowledge of the subject be acquired by reading the ancient poets in translations?
4926But, O fair nephew, what be these ladies that hither be come with you?"
4926Does she ever come hither, so that she may be seen?"
4926Dost thou bring any new tidings?"
4926Dost thou not know that the shower to- day has left in my dominions neither man nor beast alive that was exposed to it?''
4926He said to his mother,"Mother, what are those yonder?"
4926How can we describe the conflict that agitated the heart of Tristram?
4926Is it of those who are to conduct Geraint to his country?"
4926Is it well for thee to mourn after that good man, or for anything else that thou canst not have?"
4926Journeying on from break of day, Feel you not fatigued, my fair?"
4926My lord,"he added,"will it be displeasing to thee if I ask whence thou comest also?"
4926Next follow some moral triads:"Hast thou heard what Dremhidydd sung, An ancient watchman on the castle walls?
4926Out upon the wharfs they came, Knight and burgher, lord and dame, And round the prow they read her name,''The Lady of Shalott''"Who is this?
4926Said Gurhyr Gwalstat,"Is there a porter?"
4926Said Gurhyr,"Who is it that laments in this house of stone?"
4926Said Yspadaden Penkawr,"Is it thou that seekest my daughter?"
4926Say, knowest thou aught of Mabon, the son of Modron, who was taken from his mother when three nights old?"
4926Shall we be told that answers to such queries may be found in notes, or by a reference to the Classical Dictionary?
4926So the porter went in, and Gwernach said to him,"Hast thou news from the gate?"
4926Spoke the youth:"Is there a porter?"
4926Then Guenever said to Arthur,"Wilt thou permit me, lord, to go to- morrow to see and hear the hunt of the stag of which the young man spoke?"
4926Then Sir Tristram cried out and said,"Thou coward knight, why wilt thou not do battle with me?
4926Then at noon came a damsel unto him with his dinner, and asked him,"What cheer?"
4926Then cried Sir Colgrevance,"Ah, Sir Bohort, why come ye not to bring me out of peril of death, wherein I have put me to succor you?"
4926Then he asked of Geraint,"Have I thy permission to go and converse with yonder maiden, for I see that she is apart from thee?"
4926Then he cried:"Ah, my lord Arthur, will ye leave me here alone among mine enemies?"
4926Then he overtook a man clothed in a religious clothing, who said,"Sir Knight, what seek ye?"
4926Then he said to the other,"And what is the cause of thy grief?"
4926Then said Arthur,"Which of the marvels will it be best for us to seek next?"
4926Then said Perceval,"Tell me, is Sir Kay in Arthur''s court?"
4926Then said the good man,"Now wottest thou who I am?"
4926Then said the steward of the household,"Whither is it right, lord, to order the maiden?"
4926Then the hoary- headed man said to him,"Young man, wherefore art thou thoughtful?"
4926Then they took counsel, and said,"Which of these marvels will it be best for us to seek next?"
4926To whom do these ships belong, and who is the chief amongst you?"
4926Tristram believed it was certain death for him to return to Ireland; and how could he act as ambassador for his uncle in such a cause?
4926What evil have I done to thee that thou shouldst act towards me and my possessions as thou hast this day?
4926When Enid saw this, she cried out, saying,"O chieftain, whoever thou art, what renown wilt thou gain by slaying a dead man?"
4926When wilt thou that I should present to thee the chieftain who has come with me hither?"
4926Where are my attendants?
4926Who had fairer or swifter horses or greyhounds?
4926Who had more skilful or wiser bards than Maelgan?
4926Why hast thou murdered this Duchess?
4926Why hidest thou thyself within holes and walls like a coward?
4926Will you insure me this, as ye be a true knight?"
4926Will you now turn back, now you are so far advanced upon your journey?
4926Wilt thou shame thyself?
4926a chiding voice was heard of one approaching me and saying:''O knight, what has brought thee hither?
4926and what is here?
4926asked the king,"and will he come to the land?"
4926couldst thou so one moment be, From her who so much loveth thee?"
4926dost thou reproach Arthur?
4926hast thou slain this good knight by thy crafts?"
4926said Arthur,"what hast thou done, Merlin?
4926said Arthur;"and whence do you come?"
4926said Geraint,"how is it that thou hast lost them now?"
4926said Geraint;"and whence dost thou come?"
4926said Rhiannon,"wherefore didst thou give that answer?"
4926said Sir Launcelot,"why have ye betrayed me?"
4926said Sir Tristram,"what have I done?
4926said Sir Tristram;"art thou not Sir Palamedes?"
4926said he,"is it Geraint?"
4926said he;"have you any news?"
4926said they;"what is the mountain that is seen by the side of the ships?"
4926what will he profit thee?"
4926who hath proven him King Uther''s son?
4926why hast thou slain my husband?"
10745And what business is all this of yours?
10745How may I aid you in this?
10745Lady,said King Arthur,"answer me this question: is it better to dwell in honor with sadness or in dishonor with joy?"
10745Messire,quoth Sir Tristram,"know ye not that it is the business of every true knight to rid the world of all such evil monsters as you be?"
10745Messire,quoth she,"how otherwise could you aid me than by climbing up into this tree for my hawk?
10745Sir Knight, why didst thou strike my companion so unknightly a blow as that?
10745Think you so, Sir Launcelot?
10745What claim have you upon knighthood,said Sir Launcelot,"who would attack a single knight, three men against one man?"
10745What would you have of me?
10745What wouldst thou have?
10745Why should I go with you?
10745Why should I have at thee?
10745Why should I not pursue it,said Sir Launcelot,"seeing that I am here for that very cause-- to pursue adventure?"
10745Why should I spare thee?
10745Why should I spare you?
10745Yea,said King Arthur,"that is true; but what of it?"
10745And Percival said,"What is a fool?"
10745And Percival said,"What is this thing?"
10745And Percival said,"What is this thing?"
10745And Percival said,"What sort of a thing is a jester?"
10745And Percival''s mother said,"But thou wilt not forget me, Percival?"
10745And Sir Daynant said,"Fair friend, who are you, and where gat ye that sword?"
10745And Sir Ector said unto him:"Sir, I prithee tell me-- is it true that you bear upon your right shoulder a mark like unto a golden star?"
10745And Sir Kay said:"Sir Knight, who art thou?"
10745And Sir Tristram said:"Fellow, who are you?"
10745And again Sir Lamorack smiled very kindly upon him and said:"Sayst thou so?
10745And he inquired of him very courteously:"Sir, art thou hurt?"
10745And he said,"Where now is that man of whom ye speak?"
10745And he said,"Who are ye fellows?"
10745And if he more than once offended, who is there shall have hardihood to say,"I never committed offence"?
10745And she said:"Thou fool, didst thou think that I would do so mad a thing as that which thou hast made me promise?
10745And some who came cried out:"Is that man then a spirit that he can melt away into thin air?"
10745And the heart of King Meliadus went out to Tristram very strongly, and he said before all of his court,"Who art thou, fair youth?
10745And the knight said:"Sir, will you not joust a fall with me ere you break your fast?
10745And when Percival had come nigh enough Sir Boindegardus said,"Whence comest thou, fool?"
10745And when Percival heard these he said to himself:"I wonder whether there are other sorts of knights that I have not yet heard tell of?"
10745And whence comest thou?"
10745And where am I to find any one to act as my champion in defence of my innocence in this place, where I behold an enemy in every man whom I meet?
10745Are you yet of the same mind as when you first spake to me?"
10745Art thou an enemy to my house?"
10745Art thou then a jester?"
10745At that Sir Percydes laughed for joy and he said:"Percival, wilt thou not tell me of what house thou art come?"
10745At that the damosel smiled upon him and said,"What is thy name?"
10745At this Sir Launcelot stayed his hand and said:"What is it thou hast to ask, Sir Knight?"
10745At this Sir Percival was greatly astonished, wherefore he said:"Lady, how may that be?
10745At this the Lady Belle Isoult was filled with a sort of fear, wherefore she said,"Lady, what ails you?"
10745Belle Isoult said,"Tramtris, are you able for this?"
10745But Belle Isoult beheld how Sir Tristram was displeased, wherefore she took occasion to say to him:"Tramtris, be not displeased, for what am I to do?
10745But I pray you tell me how I came to this place and by what means?
10745But Queen Helen cried out all the more in a great despair:"What care I for all this?
10745But Sir Launcelot said:"Why will you have it so, Sir Knight?
10745But Sir Tristram smiled upon King Mark, and he said:"Lord, have I done well for thy sake?"
10745But Sir Tristram thrust him away and said,"Who art thou?"
10745But after a little while he arose and went to King Mark; and King Mark looked up and beheld him and said,"What news do you bring, Messire?"
10745But when Belle Isoult beheld the face of Sir Tristram, she said:"Is it thou, my love; and art thou still alive, and art thou come tome?"
10745But when Sir Kay perceived what a sorry plight it was in which Sir Dagonet appeared, he said,"What hath befallen thee?"
10745But with that the Lady Belle Isoult came running from out the tower and cried out:"Tristram, is it thou?
10745But, since you have overthrown us, what is it you would have us do?"
10745Dame Bragwaine laughed and said:"Do you then weep for that?
10745Dame Bragwaine said,"Lady, why do you weep?"
10745Do you not then take any of this treasure for yourself?"
10745For can you conquer death, or can you bring the dead back to life again?
10745For he heard men say to one another:"Lo, Sir Tristram is, certes, the very champion of Cornwall, for who is there in this country is his equal?"
10745For the great king held him by the hand and lifted him up, and he said,"Sir, are you Sir Tristram of Lyonesse?"
10745For what credit could there be to our house if I should be made knight, only that I might sit in hall and feast and drink and make merry?"
10745For who could cut through chains of iron such as these?"
10745Gouvernail said,"Messire, can you wait a little?"
10745Gouvernail said:"Lord, take heart, and tell me whither shall we go now?"
10745Gouvernail said:"Lord, what would you do for to arm and horse yourself at this hour?"
10745Have I slain this good, gentle knight when I would but do him service?"
10745Have you then forgot that I am your brother- in- arms and a fellow of the Round Table?"
10745He said,"Lady, is this a church?"
10745How then can you, who are altogether new to the use of arms, hope to stand against so renowned a champion as he?"
10745How was it that I knew him not?"
10745However, if Sir Launcelot of the Lake failed now and then in his behavior, who is there in the world shall say,"I never fell into error"?
10745Is it a good place, or is it otherwise?"
10745Is it that you fear him?"
10745Is it thou?
10745Is it to be that this one lamb also shall be taken away from me and nothing left to me of all my flock?"
10745Is it you who come against me?
10745King Angus said:"Lady, what is this you tell me?
10745King Arthur said,"Sir, what knight art thou?"
10745King Mark said,"Where are they?"
10745King Meliadus said,"Doth he do well?"
10745Nevertheless, he came to where the old man sat and saluted him with great reverence, and he said:"Art thou King Pecheur?"
10745Now I bid thee tell me who thou art, and what is thy name, and why thou earnest hither knowing that thou hadst slain my brother?"
10745Now I make demand of thee what is thy name and condition?"
10745Now I pray you, tell me what knight was it who slew this wicked wretch, and how his head came to be left hanging here?"
10745Now have I thy leave to salute thee?"
10745Now tell me, I beg of thee, who is that lady and where does she dwell?"
10745Now tell me, I prithee, who is thy father?"
10745Now when he was armed and prepared in all ways, the Lady Belle Isoult came to where he was and she said,"Tramtris, are you ready?"
10745Now when they had come to the tower where they dwelt, the lady turned of a sudden unto Percival and she said to him,"Percival, what is in thy heart?"
10745Now will you not chaunt for me a song or two or three?"
10745Now wilt thou do this for to save thy life?"
10745Now, I prithee tell me what it was I saw?"
10745Now, Messire, art thou satisfied upon that point?"
10745Now, tell me, what is this other adventure?"
10745Now, will you not tell us your name and whence you come and whither you go?
10745Percival said,"Why would they do that, lady?"
10745Percival said:"Are these things real or are they a vision that I behold?"
10745Quoth Sir Marhaus:"Messire, are you a knight of approval and of battles?"
10745She also heard Sir Tristram singing, and she said to those damsels who were with her,"Ha, what is that I hear?"
10745She said,"Is it that thou wouldst be a knight also?"
10745She said,"That is a good name; who is thy father?"
10745She said,"What harm can come of it, Messire?"
10745She said,"What was it thou didst see?"
10745She said:"Tramtris, what would you do?
10745Sir Clamadius said:"Art thou then Sir Lamorack of Gales?"
10745Sir Kay said,"What wouldst thou have with the Queen?"
10745Sir Lamorack said,"Whither would you take me?"
10745Sir Launcelot said,"Do ye not then know who he is?"
10745Sir Launcelot said,"Was it he who did indeed slay Sir Tauleas?"
10745Sir Launcelot said,"Who art thou?"
10745Sir Nabon rode straight up to Sir Tristram and he said very fiercely,"Sirrah, what is it brings you hither to this land?"
10745Sir Percival said,"Where is Sir Lamorack?"
10745Sir Percival said:"Well, I will spare thee, but tell me, what is thy name?"
10745Sir Tristram said,"Art thou altogether satisfied?"
10745Sir Tristram said,"What captives have ye in this place?"
10745Sir Tristram said,"What quest is that, Lord?"
10745Sir Tristram said,"Where is she?"
10745Sir Tristram said,"Where is your husband?"
10745Sir Tristram said,"Why did he go?"
10745So Percival said,"I prithee tell me what is this thing?"
10745So Sir Tristram came to King Mark and said:"Where is Sir Bleoberis?"
10745So after a while Sir Percival appeared at the top of the castle wall, and he said:"Messire, here I am; what is it you would have of me?"
10745So by and by he said,"Mother, why dost thou weep?"
10745So he said:"I pray thee tell me, is Sir Lamorack of Gales with the court of the King, for I come hither seeking that good worthy knight?"
10745So she said to him, speaking very gently,"Why should I give thee my ring?"
10745So she said to him,"Sirrah, what dost thou here?"
10745So what say you for the courage of your own order?"
10745The King said,"Who is it?"
10745The King said,"Why should I not drink of it?"
10745The Lady Loise said,"Messire, how came you here in this sad case?"
10745The gentlewoman said,"Lady, can not you bear up a little until help cometh?"
10745Then Belle Isoult began to pant with great agitation, and by and by she said,"Lord, why ask you me that?"
10745Then Croisette said:"How is this, Sir Launcelot?
10745Then Gouvernail said:"Lord, are you hurt, or are you whole?"
10745Then King Angus came to Tristram, and he said:"How is this, that I find thee armed?
10745Then King Angus rose from where he sat, and he said:"Where is that man?
10745Then King Angus said:"If that is so, how is it that I find thee here armed as if for battle, with thy sword in thy hand?"
10745Then King Angus said:"Thou speakest in a very foolish way, for how could a single knight hope to defend himself against my whole household?
10745Then King Arthur said:"Sir Launcelot, how is it with thee?"
10745Then King Mark said to her:"Well, how will it be with yonder knight?"
10745Then King Meliadus said to Tristram:"Sir, have you seen a youth in France whom men call Tristram?"
10745Then King Pecheur said,"Percival, hast thou no tears?"
10745Then Percival said to the page:"I prithee tell me, fair youth, whose is that pavilion yonder?"
10745Then Queen Helen cried out with great agony of passion:"Lady, would you take my child from me?
10745Then Sir Alexander said to King Mark,"Is this thy work?"
10745Then Sir Andred came and stood in front of Sir Tristram and taunted him, saying:"Ha, Tristram, how is it with thee now?
10745Then Sir Blamor was greatly astonished at the magnanimity of Sir Tristram, and he said,"Sir Knight, what is thy name?"
10745Then Sir Bleoberis said,"Messire, I pray you tell me who you are?"
10745Then Sir Boindegardus said,"Does that knight who was there follow me hitherward?"
10745Then Sir Boindegardus said,"Where is King Arthur?"
10745Then Sir Clamadius said:"Messire, are you Sir Launcelot of the Lake?"
10745Then Sir Clamadius said:"Who, then, art thou?"
10745Then Sir Kay said very sternly:"Which of ye is that boor who put so grievous an affront upon a gentleman of my party?"
10745Then Sir Lamorack knew his father''s ring and he cried out in a loud voice:"That is my father''s ring; how came ye by it?"
10745Then Sir Lamorack said,"What means all this that ye do to me?"
10745Then Sir Launcelot said to them:"Where is your lord?"
10745Then Sir Launcelot said,"Fair friend, was it thou who slew Sir Tauleas?"
10745Then Sir Launcelot said:"Tell me, fair damsel, dost thou know of any adventure hereabouts that I may undertake?
10745Then Sir Launcelot was filled with amazement, and he said:"Is not that knight Sir Boindegardus?"
10745Then Sir Percival said,"Dost thou know this ring?"
10745Then Sir Percival said:"Lord, have I thy leave to speak?"
10745Then Sir Percydes said:"Wilt thou not come to my castle and rest thyself there for the night?
10745Then Sir Tristram groaned in spirit and he said:"Isoult, what have I done, that I should always bring unhappiness upon thee?"
10745Then Sir Tristram said to those who stood near him,"Know ye who is yonder knight who rides alone?"
10745Then Sir Tristram said,"Lord, what cheer have you?"
10745Then Sir Tristram said,"Who is the porter of this castle?"
10745Then Sir Tristram said:"Fear not, but tell me where got ye that ring that I behold upon your hand?"
10745Then Sir Tristram said:"How many knights are there in the place who are my friends, and who will stand with me to break out hence?"
10745Then Sir Tristram said:"I pray you, tell me, are there any bigger knights at the court of King Arthur than you?
10745Then Sir Tristram took Sir Lamorack by the hand, and he said,"Dear friend, art thou now strong and fresh of body?"
10745Then after a while King Arthur said,"Lady, may I ask you a question?"
10745Then after a while she spake and said,"Sir, what is this you have done?"
10745Then all they were greatly astonished at Sir Tristram''s generosity, and they said:"Lord, how is this?
10745Then by and by he said to Tristram,"Wilt thou play upon thy harp?"
10745Then by and by he said:"Gouvernail, what evil have I done that I should have so heavy a curse laid upon me?"
10745Then he came close to Sir Tristram, and he laughed and said:"Tristram where is now the glory of thy strength that one time overcame all thine enemies?
10745Then he said:"Did you haply meet anywhere with a knight with the figure of a red gryphon upon his shield?"
10745Then in a little Croisette said:"Dost thou never think of a lady in that wise, Sir Launcelot?"
10745Then many saw him and observed him and said to one another:"Who is this knight, and what party will he join with to do battle?"
10745Then of a sudden a thought came to dame Bragwaine, and she catched the Lady Isoult by the arm and she said:"Lady, know you not who yonder madman is?"
10745Then one of those knights, speaking very fiercely, said:"Who are you, and what business have you here?"
10745Then presently he looked upward toward Sir Launcelot, and he said:"Art thou Sir Launcelot of the Lake?"
10745Then said Sir Ector,"Is there any adventure to be found hereabouts?"
10745Then she said to him:"Sir Knight, what cheer do you have?"
10745Then the Lady Loise said,"Sir Tristram, is it thou who liest here?"
10745Then the Lady of the Lake smiled very kindly upon Sir Percival, and she said:"Sir Percival, arise, and tell me what you do in these parts?"
10745Then the chiefest of those fisher- folk spake and said,"Who are you, and how came you here?"
10745Then the gentlewoman said,"Lady, what cheer?"
10745Then the page laughed a very great deal, and said:"Who art thou to seek Sir Lamorack?
10745Then they say:"But will you not rest a little?"
10745Then they say:"Will you not have some refreshment after this battle?"
10745Then, after a little while, he said:"I prithee tell me, didst thou see a knight pass this way to- day or yesterday?"
10745Then, after a little, he spoke, saying:"Fair youth, who are you, and whence come you, and what is it you would have of me?"
10745Thereunto Sir Andred made reply:"Lord, know you who that madman is whom Sir Launcelot hath fetched hither?"
10745Thereupon Sir Tristram said:"If a man shall slay the wolf and spare the whelp of the wolf, what shall the world be the better therefor?"
10745Thereupon he cried out,"Lady, what is this you have given me to drink?"
10745Thereupon that knight in red bespake Sir Percival very proudly, saying:"Sir Knight, whither ride you, and upon what mission?"
10745To break thine own fair sword?"
10745To him King Mark said:"Messire, why do you take no part against this knight?
10745To him Sir Launcelot said:"Good fellow, what town is that yonderway?"
10745To them Sir Tristram made reply:"Nay, why should I take it?
10745To this Sir Percival said:"Messire, tell me, how may I hope to acquire craft at arms such as may serve me in such a stead as this?"
10745To this the knight said:"How could you do that?
10745Unto all this Sir Percival listened in great wonder, and when the knight had ended his tale he said:"What is thy name?"
10745Unto him Percival made reply:"Thou tall man, I prithee tell me, which of these ladies present here is the Queen?"
10745Unto him Sir Sagramore made reply, speaking very scornfully:"Fair knight, are you a knight of Cornwall?"
10745Upon this Sir Launcelot cried out in great amazement,"How hath that come to pass?"
10745Upon this the knight said:"Messire, what would you be at?"
10745Upon this the red knight spake very fiercely, saying:"Messire, what business is that of yours?
10745Upon this, Sir Tristram immediately came to the door of his pavilion, and said,"Messires, why did you strike upon my shield?"
10745Was it not enough that I should have been unhappy but that thou shouldst have chosen to be unhappy also?"
10745What art thou about?"
10745What is it to die?"
10745When Sir Percydes saw that ring he cried out in great astonishment,"Where didst thou get that ring?"
10745When he had come nigh, Sir Marhaus said:"Who art thou, Sir Knight?"
10745When she came to him she said,"Tristram, will you drink of a draught with me?"
10745When that lady had come nigh to Sir Launcelot, she cried out to him:"Sir Knight, didst thou see a falcon fly this way?"
10745Where got ye that ring that yonder woman weareth?"
10745Wherefore he said to those swineherds,"Where got this man that sword?"
10745Wherefore he said,"Where did this befall thee?"
10745Wherefore she said to herself:"How is this?
10745Wherefore, when Sir Ewaine saw Percival nigh at hand, he gave him greeting and said,"Fair youth, what is thy name?"
10745Whereunto Sir Tristram replied:"Why should I arise?
10745Whereunto they replied,"We are swineherds, Messire; who be ye?"
10745Who is he, Bragwaine?"
10745Would you give challenge to this knight?
10745Yet if one who covets knighthood shall fear to face a danger, what virtue would there then be in the chivalry of knighthood?
10745[ Sidenote: Belle Isoult declares Sir Tristram] Then the King of Ireland said:"Who is yonder knight who hath so wonderfully overthrown Sir Palamydes?
10745[ Sidenote: Percival breaks bread in the golden pavilion] So she said to Percival,"Whence comest thou?"
10745[ Sidenote: Sir Launcelot talks with a yeoman] Quoth Sir Launcelot:"What manner of place is that?
10745[ Sidenote: Sir Percival is received with joy] King Arthur said,"Art thou Percival?"
10745[ Sidenote: Sir Tristram comes to Camelot] Then Sir Tristram said to Gouvernail:"Knowest thou, Gouvernail, what place is this to which we have come?"
10745[ Sidenote: Sir Tristram questions the fisherman] To him Sir Tristram said,"Why do you tremble so?"
10745[ Sidenote: Sir Tristram talks with a knave of the earth] Then Sir Tristram said:"Sirrah, why did you run from me when you first beheld me?"
10745and Sir Tristram said:"Why do you ask me that?"
10745he said,"what mad fool is this who cometh hitherward?"
10745shall I not so?"
10745what hast thou done to us both?
10745what shall I do?
10745why didst thou do such a thing as that?
33702Alas, Launcelot,quoth the Fair Elouise,"and dost thou think that it would be any comfort to me to have thee die at the hands of mine own brother?
33702Fair damsel,quoth Sir Ewaine,"how may I look to defend the fountain who will immediately be slain if it be known that I am here?"
33702Hast thou so?
33702How is this,he said,"and what hath befallen me?
33702Is it so with you, Sir Knight?
33702Messire,quoth the minstrel,"have ye ever heard tell of the Worm of Corbin?"
33702Messire,said he,"upon what side do you will that we take part in this battle?"
33702Messires,cried Sir Blyant,"would you fall upon me thus, two against one?"
33702Sir,said Sir Sagramore,"what would you do?"
33702Why dost thou think that?
33702Why will ye not do so?
33702Am I still alive?"
33702And King Arthur looked upon her and was pleased with her beauty, and he said,"Damsel, what is it thou wouldst have of us?"
33702And Lynette said,"Sir, have you anger against me?"
33702And Queen Guinevere said:"What said I to you awhile since?
33702And Sir Ewaine said,"How came Sir Sagramore hither, fair lord?"
33702And Sir Gareth said, still speaking very calmly,"Think you so, Lady?"
33702And Sir Gareth said:"Fair Friend, I prythee tell me what service it is that thou wouldst have of me?"
33702And Sir Lamorack said:"Is it so?
33702And Sir Launcelot said,"Is it thou?"
33702And Sir Launcelot said,"Where am I?
33702And Sir Lavaine said to Sir Launcelot:"Messire, do you not go hence with your lady?"
33702And Sir Lavaine said,"Whither shall I take you?"
33702And Sir Mellegrans said,"Sir Launcelot, is it thou who art there in the cart?"
33702And Sir Percival found Sir Ector waiting for him, who, when he beheld Sir Percival coming, said:"Sir, what fortune had you in your adventure?"
33702And after they had so talked for a considerable while, Sir Percival said to Sir Lamorack,"My brother, whither goest thou?"
33702And again he cried out, saying:"Art thou indeed Sir Launcelot of the Lake?
33702And all the people whispered to one another in awe, saying:"What is this and what doth it portend?
33702And he cried out again,"Merlin, what may I do to free thee from where thou liest?"
33702And he said to himself:"Suppose that she should die like to this dead lady in the barge-- what would I do if that should have happened unto me?"
33702And he said to himself:"Why is it that I should go thus in state to the court of the King and in that wise to win his especial favor?
33702And he said,"Damsel, what is thy name?"
33702And he said,"Well, Sir Kay, how like you that blow from the hands of the kitchen knave?"
33702And he said,"What is that pledge?"
33702And he said,"Where is the major of this castle?"
33702And he said:"Messire, what have I done, to do battle against you?
33702And he said:"Where is that madman who struck me anon?
33702And how could I bear it to have my brother perish in that way and at thy hands?"
33702And if he did indeed remember her, what of honor hath he who would deny her before those who know him?"
33702And many of them said to one another:"How is it possible for a knight of honor and of repute thus to forget one who had saved his life?
33702And she cried out:"Thou saucy knave, Beaumains, who art thou to make such a demand as that?"
33702And she said again,"Sir Bors, art thou there?"
33702And she said,"Art thou sure of that?"
33702And she said,"Hearest thou me, Sir Bors?"
33702And she said,"See you this ring?"
33702And she said,"Sir Bors, art thou there?"
33702And she said:"Would it pleasure you if all enchantment should be removed from that fountain, and if the land of the fountain should be left at peace?"
33702And she turned her to Beaumains, and said,"Sirrah, thou kitchen knave, dost thou take pride to thyself?"
33702And she was astonished at his appearance, and she said to him,"Who art thou, and whence comest thou?"
33702And the King said,"What ails thy sister?"
33702And the Queen said to Sir Bors:"What is this your kinsman hath done, Messire?
33702And the Queen said,"What hath befallen him?"
33702And the hermit was greatly astonished and said,"What ails thee, Sir Launcelot?"
33702And the porter said:"Messire, what would you have of us of this castle?"
33702And then after a considerable while he said,"Sir, do you not know that my duty lieth here?"
33702And then he heard a voice speak his name with great wonderment, saying:"Denneys, is it then thou who hast come here at this time?
33702And then he said:"Where is the porter of this castle?
33702And they whispered to the old beldame, saying,"Who is yonder man, and what doth he here?"
33702And when she saw him she said,"Who is yonder man and what does he do here?"
33702Anon she said, speaking in a voice that was very harsh but not loud:"Is it true that thou camest to this part of the castle last night?"
33702Are not all thy comrades waiting for thee to return, and doth not she also look for thee?"
33702Are you a knight of repute and fame at arms?"
33702Are you then so doubtful of your truth to the Lady Elaine that you fear to obey the command of the Queen?"
33702Art thou indeed Sir Lamorack who slew my brother?
33702Art thou not sorry for me?"
33702At these words Sir Ector was greatly astonished, and he said:"What great fortune is this of which thou speakest?"
33702At these words the lady was much surprised, wherefore she said,"Who is he that is of such great worth as thou sayst?"
33702At this Sir Percival was very greatly astonished and he said:"Sir, what is this thou doest to kneel to me?
33702At this passion of sorrow King Pelles was much amazed and he said,"Whom hast thou seen, my daughter?"
33702At this she looked upon him and smiled, and she said,"How could I hate thee, Launcelot?"
33702Beholding this sight, she fell to laughing, whereat the Queen said,"What is it you laugh at?"
33702Bring me to them, Sirrah?"
33702But Elose entered that place with a very cheerful countenance, and she said,"Lady, what cheer?"
33702But are you so doubtful of yourself that you fear to perform one duty lest you should fail in another duty?
33702But she could not do that, for who can recall the spoken word after it is uttered?
33702But tell me, how mean ye for to bring me forth from this peril unless you may get the keys of this gate from the porter thereof?"
33702But toward the sloping of the afternoon the sick man opened his eyes and he aroused and sat up and gazed about him, and he said,"Where am I?"
33702But what have I aught to offer thee in compensation?
33702But when he saw who it was had made him captive, he assumed all the majesty of his high estate and he said:"Know ye what ye do?
33702But will you not let be and suffer us to pass onward?"
33702By and by the hermit said to Sir Lavaine:"Sir Knight, know you who yonder knight is whom you brought hither to- night?"
33702Can it be he?"
33702Dame Brysen said:"What is this thou sayst, my child?
33702Dame Brysen, speaking as in affright, said,"What hast thou seen, my child?"
33702Did I not say that it mattered not how Sir Launcelot came hither even if it were in a cart?
33702Do you dare to make threats to your Queen?"
33702Do you fail your lady, and are you but a kitchen knave after all?"
33702Do you not perceive that this is the Queen and her court before whom you stand and unto whom you are speaking?"
33702Elose said:"And wouldst thou be pleased, Sir Ewaine, if I could devise it in such wise that the lady of this castle should look kindly upon thee?"
33702For he ever said to himself:"Why is it that they should contemn me because I can not remember that which I have forgot?
33702For who ever heard of a kitchen knave wearing such armor?"
33702For who ever heard of any knight of worship who would swear his faith to one lady and yet wear the favor of another?
33702For whom have I to depend upon but thee?"
33702Gladly will I give you your will, but wit you not that all courtesy is due from one knight to another upon such an occasion?"
33702Hast thou been dreaming?"
33702Hast thou not then some word of kindness for me?"
33702Have I shown you any anger, that you should say those words to me?"
33702He said,"And have you come hitherward from thence only for to find me?"
33702He said,"Have I then been mad?"
33702He said,"Whence cometh thou?"
33702How knowest thou it was he?"
33702Is he a king or a duke or a high prince that he maketh such a demand as that?"
33702Is it anger thou feelest or is it aught else than anger?"
33702Is it thus that I find thee and thy court?
33702Is not my duty first of all toward that lady to whom I have sworn my duty?
33702Is there any one of you hereabouts who knoweth him?"
33702Is there aught that I can do for to comfort you?"
33702Is this real or is it a vision that we behold?"
33702King Arthur said,"What attendants hath he with him?"
33702King Pelles said,"Whither shall we go?"
33702Know ye not that naught can be achieved until it first be essayed?
33702Know you not that it behooves all true knights to be gentle and patient with all such as are not so strong as they?
33702Lynette, have I done well?"
33702Ne''theless he contained his love and said:"Messire, why ask you me that?
33702Nor knew he what to do in this extremity, for where could he hope to find a horse in that thick forest, where was hardly a man or a beast of any sort?
33702Now I bid you tell me this-- is it true that you wore as a favor the sleeve of the Lady Elaine the Fair at the tournament of Astolat?"
33702Now I pray thee tell me what are thy commands upon me?"
33702Now I pray you tell me how came so puissant a knight as that into this remote place?"
33702Now I pray you tell me if there is any knight here who hath a mind for an adventure that would doubtless be very pleasant for him to undertake?"
33702Now I pray you tell me, are you Sir Launcelot, or are you my brother, Sir Lamorack?"
33702Now all this while Sir Ewaine was greatly astonished that the damsel should be so kind to him, wherefore he said,"Damsel, why art thou so kind to me?"
33702Now at that time Lynette was weeping amain, though whether with dread of that fierce battle or because of something else, who may tell?
33702Now if I set thee free wilt thou upon thy part show mercy unto my brother for my sake?"
33702Now tell me, I beseech you, how is it with you?"
33702Now tell me, Lady, what can any heart hold more than that?"
33702Now tell me, Lynette, I pray thee, is there no one who knoweth this knight who he really is?"
33702Now tell me, did he come hither about the time of the feast of Pentecost a year ago?"
33702Now tell me, was it by your will that this knight came last night to this part of the castle?"
33702Now tell me, when was it he came hither?"
33702Now what manner of man is he?
33702Now, I prythee tell me, hast thou any commands that thou wouldst lay upon me?"
33702Quoth Sir Ewaine,"Sir, who is it that is here?"
33702Quoth Sir Launcelot,"What is your riddle?"
33702Quoth Sir Launcelot,"Who is it that could give me more pleasure to see than you, Sir Percival?"
33702Quoth Sir Launcelot:"What boon is it thou wouldst have?
33702Saw ye ever a better battle than that?"
33702Saw ye ever such a wonderful dwarf as this?"
33702See you not from the raiment I wear who I am and what is my degree?
33702Seeing her thus, all white and stricken, King Pelles said,"Daughter, what ails thee?"
33702Seest thou the device upon his shield?
33702She said to him:"Why will you not so, Messire?
33702She said,"How know you that?"
33702She said,"What was it he said to thee?"
33702She said,"Where is he?"
33702Sir Bors said,"What is that?"
33702Sir Breuce said,"Art thou not Sir Blyant of the White Castle?"
33702Sir Ewaine said,"Who is that lady?"
33702Sir Gareth said,"Where is your master?"
33702Sir Gawaine said:"Have you naught that you may know him by?"
33702Sir Gawaine said:"I prithee, fair lady, tell me what device was painted upon the shield?"
33702Sir Gawaine said:"Lord, I pray you tell me; know you who is that knight?
33702Sir Lamorack said,"What captives have ye here?"
33702Sir Launcelot said to him,"Good fellow, is that thy cart?"
33702Sir Launcelot said,"What has befallen me?"
33702Sir Launcelot said,"What is there in my heart?"
33702Sir Launcelot said,"What message have you, and from whom?"
33702Sir Launcelot said,"Why are ye so sad and downcast?"
33702Sir Launcelot said,"Why have you taken so great trouble as that upon my account?"
33702Sir Launcelot said:"Denneys, what is it ails thee?
33702Sir Launcelot said:"How may I see her?"
33702Sir Launcelot said:"In what way have I betrayed myself, and in what way am I a traitor to thee or to anyone?
33702Sir Lavaine said:"Lord, how shall I take you such a journey as that, so that you shall not die?"
33702Sir Percival said,"I have no news,"and he said,"Do you still go in quest of that noble and gentle knight your brother?"
33702So her agents brought the woodchopper to where the Lady Elaine was, and she said to him,"What knowest thou, good fellow?"
33702So in a little while the porter came, and Sir Launcelot made demand of him:"Where is it that the Queen and her court are held prisoners?
33702So presently he rode forward to meet Sir Ewaine, and he said to him,"Sir, what knight art thou?"
33702So she began to misdoubt that this was some one else than she had first thought him to be, wherefore she said,"I pray you, Sir, tell me who you are?"
33702So she said,"I pray you tell me, is Sir Ewaine at this place?"
33702So the fagot- maker called out,"Friend, what cheer have you?"
33702So the good man said,"Messire, will you not eat?"
33702The Dame Brysen said:"Nay, child, calm thyself; what ails thee to think so strange a thing as that?
33702The Lady Layonnesse said:"Where is that knight and why hast thou not brought him hither with thee so that I may render to him my thanks?"
33702The Lady said,"Who is this knight, Lynette?"
33702The hermit said,"Thou art with me,"and he further said,"What aileth thee, Sir Launcelot?"
33702The lady said,"How much didst thou use thereof?"
33702Then Elose came very close to Sir Ewaine and she took his hand, and she said,"Do you not know me now?"
33702Then Elose looked very steadily into the lady''s face, and anon she spake boldly and without fear, and she said:"Well, lady, what then?
33702Then Gareth looked at Sir Kay very calmly and he said,"Who are you who speak such words to me?"
33702Then King Arthur arose where he sat, and he said:"Fair demoiselle, whence come you and what would you here?
33702Then King Arthur said,"What ails thee that thou comest hither to us thus?"
33702Then King Pelles said:"My daughter, what is this thou wouldst do?
33702Then King Pelles was amazed beyond measure and he said:"Can such a thing be true?
33702Then Lynette gazed about her and she said to the knight of the castle,"Messire, who are these?"
33702Then Lynette pointed to the bugle horn and she said:"Sir Kitchen Knave, seest thou yon bugle horn?
33702Then Lynette said:"Hah, Beaumains, see you yonder pavilions and see you that pavilion which is in their midst?"
33702Then Queen Guinevere gazed at him with great coldness and she said to him,"Sir Knight, what brings thee hither?"
33702Then Queen Margaise looked all about and by and by she said,"Where is my son Gareth whom I sent thitherward a year ago?"
33702Then Sir Ector cried out with astonishment, and he said:"Can this be so indeed?"
33702Then Sir Ewaine cried out in an exceedingly bitter voice like one in great pain:"Lady, why say ye these things to me?
33702Then Sir Ewaine looked upon the damsel with great astonishment, and said,"Who art thou, lady, who dost accuse me of being false?"
33702Then Sir Ewaine said to Elose, who was looking out of the window beside him,"What fair lady is that who followeth the bier of the dead knight?"
33702Then Sir Ewaine said to her:"I pray you, fair damsel, tell me now the mystery of that fountain and of the knight who guarded it?
33702Then Sir Ewaine said,"Lady, hast thou yet such a kind regard for the knight as this?"
33702Then Sir Gareth laughed, and said,"Say you so?"
33702Then Sir Gareth was greatly astonished and he said:"How know you my name and my degree, Messire?"
33702Then Sir Gawaine cried out aloud:"Merlin, what may I do to free thee from the enchantment that lieth upon thee?"
33702Then Sir Gawaine said to King Pelles:"Fair Lord, can you tell me where I shall find that wounded knight who called himself le Chevalier Malfait?"
33702Then Sir Gawaine said:"Tell me, Sir Knight Malfait, will you and your companion try a fall with me and my companions- in- arms?"
33702Then Sir Lamorack lifted up his face and looked at that esquire, and he said,"Who is this knight, and how came he here?"
33702Then Sir Lamorack said,"Where is the treasure of this castle?"
33702Then Sir Lamorack said:"Is this noble knight living, or is he dead?"
33702Then Sir Lamorack said:"My brother, I prithee tell me who was that knight whom I chanced to overthrow but now?"
33702Then Sir Launcelot laughed, and he said:"Messire, how will you stay me against my will?"
33702Then Sir Launcelot rode out upon the bridge and he called to those armed men:"Can you tell me whether this way leads to the castle of Sir Mellegrans?"
33702Then Sir Launcelot said again,"Have I been mad?"
33702Then Sir Launcelot said, speaking very faint and weak,"Where am I?"
33702Then Sir Launcelot said:"Would you return to Camelot if you were me and I were you?"
33702Then Sir Launcelot smiled very kindly upon the Lady Elaine and he said,"Will this give you pleasure?"
33702Then Sir Launcelot turned him to the Lady Elaine and said,"Lady, see you this shield and this armor of mine?"
33702Then Sir Launcelot, beholding that she had been thus weeping, said:"Lady, what is it that ails you?
33702Then Sir Lavaine said, speaking very fiercely:"What honor hath a man who will leave his own lady for the smiles of another woman?
33702Then Sir Lavaine, when he heard her, cried out upon his part as in great amazement,"My sister, is it thou?"
33702Then Sir Perard was greatly surprised at that reply and he said,"Is this a jest?"
33702Then Sir Percevant turned him to Lynette, and he said,"Damsel, who is this knight?"
33702Then Sir Percival said to Sir Ector:"Sir, I pray you of your courtesy for one thing,"and Sir Ector said,"What is that?"
33702Then Sir Percival said to Sir Ector:"Sir, hast thou any news of thy brother, Sir Launcelot?"
33702Then after a little he said:"What party of jesters are ye, and what is this foolish sport ye are at?"
33702Then after a while Sir Launcelot said,"Who here knoweth of my madness?"
33702Then after a while she said,"Dost thou bring ill news of him?"
33702Then after the damsel had gone, King Arthur said,"Ewaine, who was that lady?"
33702Then anon he said:"Fair youth, whence come you and who are you who speaketh thus so boldly to a great lord of our court and before our very face?"
33702Then by and by she said:"What is it that lieth upon thy mind, Messire, that causeth thee to take so much thought to thyself?"
33702Then for a little Sir Launcelot was silent, and after a little he said to her:"Lady, do you disremember that I call myself le Chevalier Malfait?
33702Then he said to the messenger,"Doth the knight of this castle fear to meet me?"
33702Then he who was chief among the minstrels said to Sir Launcelot,"Messire, will ye not also sing?"
33702Then he would say,"Sir, art thou dead?"
33702Then said the King,"Who is thy sister and who is this knight who tormenteth her?"
33702Then she said for the third time,"Sir Bors, art thou there?"
33702Then she said to Sir Lavaine,"How is it with him, doth he live?"
33702Then that beldame, finding that he would not be denied, spake to him very harshly, saying,"What would you here, Sir Knight?"
33702Then that gigantic oaf bellowed with loud laughter and he cried out:"Seekest thou that adventure?
33702Then that lord said,"What is thy estate?"
33702Then the King looked for a little upon that dead figure as it were in a sort of terror, and then he said,"Where is Sir Launcelot?"
33702Then the King was much astonished to see Sir Launcelot in that place, and he said to himself,"What does Sir Launcelot here?"
33702Then the Knight of the Red Lands said:"Who are you?
33702Then the Lady Elaine came close to Sir Launcelot and looked very deeply into his eyes, and by and by she said,"Launcelot, what ails thee?"
33702Then the Lady Layonnesse cried out,"What matters it if this young knight is a kitchen knave?
33702Then the Lady Layonnesse said,"Is not that my sister Lynette whom I behold with thee?"
33702Then the Lady Layonnesse said,"Sir, are you a knight of good fame and service?"
33702Then the Lady Layonnesse said:"Sir, what is your name and what is your degree?"
33702Then the Lady Lesolie said,"Ewaine, art thou discontent with us at this place?"
33702Then the Queen said:"Launcelot, what is duty and what is faith when we measure these things with the measurement of happiness and unhappiness?"
33702Then the Red Knight said, speaking in a very weak and fainting voice,"Fair Sir Knight, what are thy commands upon me?"
33702Then the Red Knight when he saw Sir Gareth, said,"Who art thou, Sir Knight, and what is thy business here?"
33702Then the White Knight said:"Messire, how is this?
33702Then the damsel said,"Sir Knight, I pray you tell me what is your name and your degree?"
33702Then the knight said,"Wouldst thou fight against us who are seven?"
33702Then the lady said:"Well, Messire, what am I to do now that thou hast slain the knight- champion of this place?"
33702Then when they were come to her the lady said to the damsel,"Didst thou use that balm as I told thee to do?"
33702Then, when this being beheld them where they came, he roared at them in a great voice, saying,"Where go ye, little people, and what is your business?"
33702Thereupon Sir Mellegrans laughed and he cried out,"Sir Launcelot, what cheer have you now?"
33702These Sir Launcelot bespoke, saying,"I pray ye, fair folk, tell me, is this the Town of Corbin?"
33702They say to him:"Who are you, Sir Knight?"
33702Think you that any kitchen knave would be so patient as that?
33702This fat old man kneeled down before Sir Lamorack, and Sir Lamorack said,"Art thou the major of this place?"
33702To this Sir Blyant said:"Messires, what do you have against me for that?
33702To this Sir Percydes replied, speaking very fiercely:"What mean you, Sir Knight, by those words?
33702To this creature Sir Ewaine spake, saying,"Sirrah, whither shall I go to find that Adventure of the Fountain?"
33702Upon that salutation Lynette looked about, as though in surprise, and said,"Hah, thou kitchen knave, art thou there?"
33702Upon this the Lady Vivien looked at Sir Gawaine very strangely, and by and by she said,"What is it thou wouldst have of me, Messire?"
33702What ails thee?
33702What is it that hath happened to me?
33702What is it to thee what mischiefs I may do to others?
33702What is this?
33702What matters it?
33702What now shall I do to escape from his vengeance?"
33702What sort of a kitchen knave is this to overcome so brave and well- seasoned a knight as Sir Perard?
33702What then must Sir Launcelot think of me who was her foolish messenger to fetch him hither?"
33702What think you of this?
33702What treason did I then do in cherishing her who is sick and weak and sad and helpless in this place where thou keepest her prisoner?"
33702When they had come to Sir Launcelot the chief of those knights said,"Sir, art thou he who hath slain the Worm?"
33702Where is the Queen, and how came you here at this place and at this hour?
33702Where sawst thou such a sight as that?
33702Wherefore the Lady Lesolie, speaking as to a stranger, said,"Sir, what wouldst thou have of me?"
33702Wherefore then do you scorn me since you know naught of my purpose?"
33702Wherefore when Beaumains had come nigh to her, she cried out,"Sirrah, art thou Beaumains, the kitchen knave?"
33702Whereunto the chief of that party-- a right reverend man with a long white beard-- made reply:"Sir Knight, wherefore do you ask us why we are sad?
33702Whither goest thou?"
33702Who are you who layeth claim to be brother to Sir Lamorack of Gales?
33702Who art thou that I should ask a favor of thee?"
33702Who art thou who sayst such words as these I hear?
33702Whom thinkest thou I have found upon this adventure?
33702Why look you so distraught, and why are you so stained with blood?"
33702Wilt thou dare to do violence to me and my court within the very sight of the roofs of King Arthur''s town?"
33702Wilt thou suffer a kitchen knave to have his will of thee?"
33702Would you who are one against two dispute the passage of this bridge with us?"
33702Wouldst thou, a young damsel, go thyself errant in search of this wounded knight?"
33702Yet in the heat of battle who may stay the hand for to measure the stroke that one giveth to his enemy?"
33702[ Sidenote:_ Gareth asketh his second boon._] Then the King beholding Beaumains standing there said,"Beaumains, what is it thou wouldst have?"
33702[ Sidenote:_ How Sir Launcelot dwelt in Joyous Isle._] Yet was it indeed peace and contentment that he felt?
33702[ Sidenote:_ Sir Gareth challengeth the robber knights._] Then Sir Gareth said,"Say you so, Lady?"
33702[ Sidenote:_ Sir Lavaine findeth a boat._] Sir Lavaine said,"Is there ere a boat at this place that may float upon the river?"
33702[ Sidenote:_ The lady giveth welcome to Sir Ewaine._] Then the lady of the castle cried out with astonishment and said,"Is this true that I hear?"
33702[ Sidenote:_ They behold the pavilions of the Red Knight._] Then Lynette pointed, and she said to Sir Gareth:"See you that castle and that town?
33702and hast thou suffered all that for my sake?"
33702and she said:"My father, did you not hear how that the Chevalier Malfait hath been sorely wounded and mayhap may be even now lying nigh to death?"
33702art thou there, thou traitor knight?
33702how didst thou dare to come hither without my permission?"
33702is it thou who art there?"
33702is not yonder the bird that has been sent to lead us upon our way?"
33702little man, have you come also to that adventure?
33702quoth she,"and do you then find that your heart is inclined toward this lady?"
33702say you so?
33702what is there then left for me?
610Confusion, and illusion, and relation, Elusion, and occasion, and evasion?
610It is not worth the keeping: let it go: But shall it? 610 Jealousy in love?"
610Man, is he man at all?
610Where is that goodly company,said I,"That so cried out upon me?"
610Yea, yea,said he,"Art thou so bold and hast not seen the Grail?"
610''"And spake I not too truly, O my knights?
610''"Lo now,"said Arthur,"have ye seen a cloud?
610''Ah, sister,''answered Lancelot,''what is this?''
610''And hast thou overthrown him?''
610''And where is Lancelot?''
610''And wherefore, damsel?
610''Ay, wilt thou finish it?
610''Ay,''said the King,''and hear ye such a cry?
610''Dead, is it so?''
610''Fair Sirs,''said Arthur,''wherefore sit ye here?''
610''Fair lord, whose name I know not-- noble it is, I well believe, the noblest-- will you wear My favour at this tourney?''
610''Fairest I grant her: I have seen; but best, Best, purest?
610''Hath not the good wind, damsel, changed again?''
610''Have any of our Round Table held their vows?''
610''Have we not heard the bridegroom is so sweet?
610''Have ye fought?''
610''Highest?''
610''How then?
610''Is that the Lancelot?
610''Is the King true?''
610''Knowest thou not me?
610''Lo, fool,''he said,''ye talk Fool''s treason: is the King thy brother fool?''
610''Lord,''she said,''my man Hath left me or is dead;''whereon he thought--''What, if she hate me now?
610''Love, art thou sweet?
610''My name?''
610''O damsel,''answered he,''I woke from dreams; and coming out of gloom Was dazzled by the sudden light, and crave Pardon: but will ye to Caerleon?
610''One rose, a rose to gather by and by, One rose, a rose, to gather and to wear, No rose but one-- what other rose had I?
610''Peace,''said her father,''O my child, ye seem Light- headed, for what force is yours to go So far, being sick?
610''Queen?
610''Says she not well?
610''Shall Rome or Heathen rule in Arthur''s realm?
610''What doest thou, scullion, in my fellowship?
610''What knowest thou of birds, lark, mavis, merle, Linnet?
610''What knowest thou of flowers, except, belike, To garnish meats with?
610''When has Lancelot worn Favour of any lady in the lists?
610''Why kneel ye there?
610''Why weep ye?''
610''Would some of your people take him up, And bear him hence out of this cruel sun?
610''Yea, but thy name?''
610''Yea,''said the maid,''be manners such fair fruit?''
610Again she said,''O wild and of the woods, Knowest thou not the fashion of our speech?
610Ah my God, What might I not have made of thy fair world, Had I but loved thy highest creature here?
610And Arthur, when Sir Balin sought him, said''What wilt thou bear?''
610And Enid woke and sat beside the couch, Admiring him, and thought within herself, Was ever man so grandly made as he?
610And Gareth answered her with kindling eyes,''Gold?''
610And Gareth went, and hovering round her chair Asked,''Mother, though ye count me still the child, Sweet mother, do ye love the child?''
610And Gareth,''Wherefore waits the madman there Naked in open dayshine?''
610And Isolt answered,''Yea, and why not I?
610And Tristram,''Was it muddier than thy gibes?
610And Vivien answered frowning yet in wrath:''O ay; what say ye to Sir Lancelot, friend Traitor or true?
610And Vivien answered smiling as in wrath:''Have I not sworn?
610And Vivien answered smiling saucily,''What, O my Master, have ye found your voice?
610And Vivien answered, smiling scornfully,''Why fear?
610And Vivien, frowning in true anger, said:''What dare the full- fed liars say of me?
610And also one to the west, and counter to it, And blank: and who shall blazon it?
610And arms, arms, arms to fight my enemy?
610And as to woman''s jealousy, O why not?
610And if it were so do not keep it back: Make me a little happier: let me know it: Owe you me nothing for a life half- lost?
610And lived there neither dame nor damsel then Wroth at a lover''s loss?
610And she abode his coming, and said to him With timid firmness,''Have I leave to speak?''
610And since he loved all maidens, but no maid In special, half- awake he whispered,''Where?
610And the King''Make thee my knight in secret?
610And the King--''But wherefore would ye men should wonder at you?
610And then the Queen made answer,''What know I?
610And there the hermit slaked my burning thirst, And at the sacring of the mass I saw The holy elements alone; but he,"Saw ye no more?
610And therebefore the lawless warrior paced Unarmed, and calling,''Damsel, is this he, The champion thou hast brought from Arthur''s hall?
610And wherefore wail for one, Who put your beauty to this flout and scorn By dressing it in rags?
610Are ye but creatures of the board and bed, No men to strike?
610Arms?
610Art thou King?
610Art thou sad?
610Art thou the purest, brother?
610Back from the gate started the three, to whom From out thereunder came an ancient man, Long- bearded, saying,''Who be ye, my sons?''
610Back wilt thou, fool?
610Bind me to one?
610But Lancelot said,''Kay, wherefore wilt thou go against the King, For that did never he whereon ye rail, But ever meekly served the King in thee?
610But Percivale stood near him and replied,''Am I but false as Guinevere is pure?
610But by the field of tourney lingering yet Muttered the damsel,''Wherefore did the King Scorn me?
610But have ye no one word of loyal praise For Arthur, blameless King and stainless man?''
610But how to take last leave of all I loved?
610But is your spleen frothed out, or have ye more?''
610But openly she answered,''Must not I, If this false traitor have displaced his lord, Grieve with the common grief of all the realm?''
610But say, these four, Who be they?
610But the Seer replied,''Know ye not then the Riddling of the Bards?
610But then what folly had sent him overseas After she left him lonely here?
610But when did Arthur chance upon thee first?''
610But who first saw the holy thing today?''
610But wilt thou yield this damsel harbourage?''
610Comfort thyself: what comfort is in me?
610Damsel and lover?
610Did Arthur take the vow?''
610Did I love her?
610Dost thou know the star We call the harp of Arthur up in heaven?''
610Dropt down from heaven?
610Farewell?
610Fierier and stormier from restraining, break Into some madness even before the Queen?''
610Flowers?
610Follow the deer?
610Followed the Queen; Sir Balin heard her''Prince, Art thou so little loyal to thy Queen, As pass without good morrow to thy Queen?''
610Fool, beast-- he, she, or I?
610For both thy younger brethren have gone down Before this youth; and so wilt thou, Sir Star; Art thou not old?''
610For what am I?
610For when had Lancelot uttered aught so gross Even to the swineherd''s malkin in the mast?
610For which of us, who might be left, could speak Of the pure heart, nor seem to glance at thee?
610For why should I have loved her to my shame?
610Fought in her father''s battles?
610Full simple was her answer,''What know I?
610Good luck had your good man, For were I dead who is it would weep for me?
610Harbourage?
610Has Arthur spoken aught?
610He from beyond the roaring shallow roared,''What doest thou, brother, in my marches here?''
610He made a wrathful answer:''Did I wish Your warning or your silence?
610He took the selfsame track as Balan, saw The fountain where they sat together, sighed''Was I not better there with him?''
610He will not love me: how then?
610Here laughed the father saying,''Fie, Sir Churl, Is that answer for a noble knight?
610Here when the Queen demanded as by chance''Know ye the stranger woman?''
610His name?
610How came the lily maid by that good shield Of Lancelot, she that knew not even his name?
610How darest thou, if lover, push me even In fancy from thy side, and set me far In the gray distance, half a life away, Her to be loved no more?
610How know ye my lord''s name is Lancelot?''
610How then?
610I Go likewise: shall I lead you to the King?''
610I deemed him fool?
610I fought for it, and have it: Pleasure to have it, none; to lose it, pain; Now grown a part of me: but what use in it?
610I might believe you then, Who knows?
610I needs must break These bonds that so defame me: not without She wills it: would I, if she willed it?
610I needs must disobey him for his good; How should I dare obey him to his harm?
610Is it not Lancelot?''
610Is there none Will tell the King I love him though so late?
610Is this the tone of empire?
610Isolt of Britain dashed Before Isolt of Brittany on the strand, Would that have chilled her bride- kiss?
610Kicked, he returns: do ye not hate him, ye?
610Know ye not these?''
610Lied, say ye?
610Look, Who comes behind?''
610Make thee my knight?
610Man was it who marred heaven''s image in thee thus?''
610Merrily Gareth asked,''Have I not earned my cake in baking of it?
610Must our true man change like a leaf at last?
610Not eat nor drink?
610Not one to flirt a venom at her eyes, Or pinch a murderous dust into her drink, Or make her paler with a poisoned rose?
610Not proven, who swept the dust of ruined Rome From off the threshold of the realm, and crushed The Idolaters, and made the people free?
610Not rather dead love''s harsh heir, jealous pride?
610Now-- ere he goes to the great Battle?
610O Master, do ye love my tender rhyme?''
610O Master, shall we call him overquick To crop his own sweet rose before the hour?''
610O damsel, be you wise To call him shamed, who is but overthrown?
610O light upon the wind, Thine, Gawain, was the voice-- are these dim cries Thine?
610O to what end, except a jealous one, And one to make me jealous if I love, Was this fair charm invented by yourself?
610O where?
610O, my brother, Why wilt thou shame me to confess to thee How far I faltered from my quest and vow?
610Or art thou mazed with dreams?
610Or come to take the King to Fairyland?
610Or have the Heavens but given thee a fair face, Lacking a tongue?''
610Or mine the blame that oft I seem as he Of whom was written,"A sound is in his ears"?
610Or sin seem less, the sinner seeming great?
610Our bond, as not the bond of man and wife, Should have in it an absoluter trust To make up that defect: let rumours be: When did not rumours fly?
610Our noble King will send thee his own leech-- Sick?
610Pelleas gazing thought,''Is Guinevere herself so beautiful?''
610Pelleas is dead-- he told us-- he that hath His horse and armour: will ye let him in?
610Pray for thy soul?
610Queen, if I grant the jealousy as of love, May not your crescent fear for name and fame Speak, as it waxes, of a love that wanes?
610Said Arthur,''Whether would ye?
610Said Balin to her''Is this thy courtesy-- to mock me, ha?
610Saw ye none beside, None of your knights?''
610Seem I not as tender to him As any mother?
610Seemed my reproach?
610Sees what his fair bride is and does, and winks?
610Shall I not lift her from this land of beasts Up to my throne, and side by side with me?
610Shall I not rather prove the worse for these?
610Shall I pray the King To let me bear some token of his Queen Whereon to gaze, remembering her-- forget My heats and violences?
610Shamed?
610She answered meekly,''How should I be glad Henceforth in all the world at anything, Until my lord arise and look upon me?''
610She answered,''Lancelot, wilt thou hold me so?
610She reddening,''Insolent scullion: I of thee?
610She said: they took her to themselves; and she Still hoping, fearing''is it yet too late?''
610She spake and King Leodogran rejoiced, But musing,''Shall I answer yea or nay?''
610Sir Fine- face, Sir Fair- hands?
610So Tristram won, and Lancelot gave, the gems, Not speaking other word than''Hast thou won?
610Softly laughed Isolt;''Flatter me not, for hath not our great Queen My dole of beauty trebled?''
610Speak out: what is it thou hast heard, or seen?''
610Speak therefore: shall I waste myself in vain?''
610Speak, Lancelot, thou art silent: is it well?''
610Speak, if ye be not like the rest, hawk- mad, Where can I get me harbourage for the night?
610Swine, say ye?
610Swine?
610Tell me, was he like to thee?
610Tell me, ye yourselves, Hold ye this Arthur for King Uther''s son?''
610The black- blue Irish hair and Irish eyes Had drawn him home-- what marvel?
610The giant answered merrily,''Yea, but one?
610The name was ruler of the dark-- Isolt?
610The phantom of a cup that comes and goes?''
610The shadow of another cleaves to me, And makes me one pollution: he, the King, Called me polluted: shall I kill myself?
610The voice of Britain, or a sinking land, Some third- rate isle half- lost among her seas?
610Then Arthur rose and Lancelot followed him, And while they stood without the doors, the King Turned to him saying,''Is it then so well?
610Then Bellicent bemoaned herself and said,''Hast thou no pity upon my loneliness?
610Then Dagonet, turning on the ball of his foot,''And whither harp''st thou thine?
610Then Gareth,''Thou-- Lancelot!--thine the hand That threw me?
610Then Kay,''What murmurest thou of mystery?
610Then Lancelot vext at having lied in vain:''Are ye so wise?
610Then Tristram saying,''Why skip ye so, Sir Fool?''
610Then Tristram, waiting for the quip to come,''Good now, what music have I broken, fool?''
610Then cried Earl Yniol,''Art thou he indeed, Geraint, a name far- sounded among men For noble deeds?
610Then ran across her memory the strange rhyme Of bygone Merlin,''Where is he who knows?
610Then said Earl Doorm:''Well, if he be not dead, Why wail ye for him thus?
610Then she that watched him,''Wherefore stare ye so?
610Then spake King Arthur to Sir Bedivere:''Hast thou performed my mission which I gave?
610Then spake the Queen and somewhat bitterly,''Were they so glad?
610Then spake the men of Pellam crying''Lord, Why wear ye this crown- royal upon shield?''
610Then spake the monk Ambrosius, asking him,''What said the King?
610Then spoke King Arthur, breathing heavily:''What is it thou hast seen?
610Then the Queen amazed,''Was he not with you?
610Then the third brother shouted o''er the bridge,''O brother- star, why shine ye here so low?
610Then thought the Queen within herself again,''Will the child kill me with her foolish prate?''
610Then to her own sad heart muttered the Queen,''Will the child kill me with her innocent talk?''
610Then when he saw the Queen, embracing asked,''Love, are you yet so sick?''
610Then, for he answered not,''Or hast thou other griefs?
610There is no being pure, My cherub; saith not Holy Writ the same?"
610There musing sat the hoary- headed Earl,( His dress a suit of frayed magnificence, Once fit for feasts of ceremony) and said:''Whither, fair son?''
610They failed to trace him through the flesh and blood Of our old kings: whence then?
610Think ye this fellow will poison the King''s dish?
610This tender rhyme, and evermore the doubt,''Why lingers Gawain with his golden news?''
610Three horses and three goodly suits of arms, And all in charge of whom?
610Thus an thou goest, he will fight thee first; Who doubts thee victor?
610Thy ward is higher up: but have ye slain The damsel''s champion?''
610Thy will?''
610To make men worse by making my sin known?
610To whom Sir Gareth answered, laughingly,''Parables?
610Was it the name of one in Brittany, Isolt, the daughter of the King?
610Wedded her?
610Well, I will wear it: fetch it out to me: What is it?''
610Well, those were not our days: but did they find A wizard?
610Were it well to obey then, if a king demand An act unprofitable, against himself?
610What are these?
610What did the wanton say?
610What else?
610What evil hath ye wrought?
610What faith have these in whom they sware to love?
610What go ye into the wilderness to see?"
610What good should follow this, if this were done?
610What guerdon will ye?''
610What happiness to reign a lonely king, Vext-- O ye stars that shudder over me, O earth that soundest hollow under me, Vext with waste dreams?
610What harm, undone?
610What help in that?
610What hour, I wonder, now?''
610What is he?
610What is it thou hast seen?
610What is it to me?
610What is it?
610What is thy name?
610What knowest thou of lovesong or of love?
610What might she mean by that?
610What of the knight with the red sleeve?''
610What other?
610What record, or what relic of my lord Should be to aftertime, but empty breath And rumours of a doubt?
610What rights are his that dare not strike for them?
610What said the happy sire?''
610What say ye then to sweet Sir Sagramore, That ardent man?
610What shock has fooled her since, that she should speak So feebly?
610What the fashion of the men?''
610What, if she love me still?
610When have I stinted stroke in foughten field?
610Where shall I hide my forehead and my eyes?
610Where should be truth if not in Arthur''s hall, In Arthur''s presence?
610Whereat the maiden, petulant,''Lancelot, Why came ye not, when called?
610Which?
610While thus he spake, she gazed upon the man Of princely bearing, though in bonds, and thought,''Why have I pushed him from me?
610Who should be King save him who makes us free?''
610Who will cry shame?
610Who yells Here in the still sweet summer night, but I-- I, the poor Pelleas whom she called her fool?
610Why did the King dwell on my name to me?
610Why go ye not to these fair jousts?
610Why had ye not the shield I knew?
610Why mockest thou the stranger that hath been To thee fair- spoken?''
610Why not?
610Why sit ye there?
610Why?
610Will there be dawn in West and eve in East?
610Will ye not lie?
610Wilt thou I undertake them as we pass, And send them to thee?''
610Ye know yourselves: how can ye bide at peace, Affronted with his fulsome innocence?
610Yea, truly is it not a sweet surprise?
610Youth, we are damsels- errant, and we ride, Armed as ye see, to tilt against the knights There at Caerleon, but have lost our way: To right?
610a name?
610and again,''O Merlin, do ye love me?''
610and he had Scarce any voice to answer, and yet gasped,"Whence and what art thou?"
610and once more,''Great Master, do ye love me?''
610and where is he who knows?
610and wherefore now Come ye, not called?
610and wherefore would ye look On this proud fellow again, who scorns us all?''
610and why Trampled ye thus on that which bare the Crown?''
610art thou mad?''
610art thou not that eunuch- hearted King Who fain had clipt free manhood from the world-- The woman- worshipper?
610asked the maiden,"might it come To me by prayer and fasting?"
610back again?
610because that fostered at thy court I savour of thy-- virtues?
610but wilt thou fight for me, And win me this fine circlet, Pelleas, That I may love thee?''
610did you keep the vow you made to Mark More than I mine?
610do ye know it?''
610do ye see it?
610do ye see the star?''
610fear them?
610flesh and blood?
610follow the Christ, the King, Live pure, speak true, right wrong, follow the King-- Else, wherefore born?''
610gold or field?''
610has your palfrey heart enough To bear his armour?
610hast thou eyes, or if, are these So far besotted that they fail to see This fair wife- worship cloaks a secret shame?
610hath not our good King Who lent me thee, the flower of kitchendom, A foolish love for flowers?
610have ye met him?
610have ye seen how nobly changed?
610he wore your sleeve: Would he break faith with one I may not name?
610here the faith That made us rulers?
610how dare I call him mine?
610how is it I see you here?
610is he man at all, who knows and winks?
610is there more?
