7243Ride with me? 7243 The_ castle_, you understand; where is the castle?"
7243What? 7243 Why, great guns,"I said,"do n''t I want to find the castle?
7243Your name, please?
7243_ How_ many?
7243And how else would I go about it?"
7243And might he see her?
7243But come-- never mind about that; let''s-- have you got such a thing as a map of that region about you?
7243But does that make him one of_ them_?
7243Do n''t you know what a map is?
7243Have I not a tongue, and can not I say all that myself?"
7243How might that be?
7243I said:"My dear, have you been questioned as to particulars?"
7243If you spoke of the duke, or the earl, or the bishop, how could anybody tell which one you meant?
7243Land of-- why, you see-- you see-- why, great Scott, ca n''t you understand a little thing like that?
7243Now as to this castle, with forty- five princesses in it, and three ogres at the head of it, tell me-- where is this harem?"

45514And is the king''s nephew, Gawain, there? 45514 Dwarf,"quoth the seneschal,"tell me if there be any here within save thyself?"
45514Fair Sire, for the love of God, and for honesty, tell us after what manner and in what fashion we be felon and traitorous?
45514Fair nephew,quoth Arthur,"shall we to- day find hostel where we may take rest, for we have sore need thereof?"
45514Fair sir, are ye sure and certain?
45514Friend,quoth Sir Gawain,"know ye, perchance, the which of them shall joust on the morrow?"
45514Gawain, will ye that I tell ye whence came the thought which has made me thus sad and silent?
45514How,quoth Arthur,"without ye, who have fasted even as we?
45514I, sir? 45514 Maidens, by the faith ye owe me answer me, and hide it not, what bear ye in those pitchers?"
45514Sir, are ye in need of help?
45514What,quoth Sir Gawain,"have ye slain him with your own hands?"
45514And know ye why he sent her hence?
45514And the king asked,"Nephew, tell me straightway where do ye counsel that this my court be held?"
45514And then the others spake;"Seneschal, are ye wounded?"
45514And when he was disarmed the king spake unto him in the hearing of all his men, and said,"Fair friend, whence do ye come, and of what land may ye be?"
45514And wherefore thus arm in haste?
45514Has mischance befallen thee?"
45514Quoth Sir Gawain,"Ha, God, who hath made man with Thine own hand, wherefore didst Thou make this man so fair if he be deaf and dumb?
45514See ye the fair couches in yonder chamber?"
45514The king marvelled greatly, and the knights said the one to the other,"Ha, God, what aileth Sir Gawain?"
45514The king spake simply,"Fair nephew, say, wherefore have ye ceased to eat?
45514The king went ahead, as one wise and courteous, and spake gently,"Kay, hast thou come from far?
45514Then his comrades asked him,"Seneschal, have ye found nothing of that which ye went to seek?"
45514Then quoth the king,"What say ye, Lords?
45514Then the knight clapped hand to his side, but his sword was lacking, and he cried,"Who may ye be?
45514Think ye, my lords, that he be of a truth captive?"
45514What more may I tell ye?
45514What more shall I tell ye?
45514When he gat breath and speech he sighed forth,"Ah, God, who will slay me?
45514When he saw that his dwarf bled, he spake,"Ye who be come all armed into this hall, wherefore have ye slain this my servant?"
45514Why should I lie to ye?
45514Why should I make long telling thereof?
45514Ye make us much to marvel; tell me, I pray, doth aught ail ye?"
8447What may this be? 8447 Am I a lesser or a weaker man than either of ye that Sir Gawain must needs ride with me? 8447 By the Lord who made us, of what art thou afraid? 8447 Did he yet think upon this? 8447 Did the knight who wrought such harm depart from ye unscathed?
8447Does this content ye, my lord king?"
8447Evil was his thought, and he cried:"Vassal, how were ye so bold as to do me this hurt and this shame?
8447Have ye altogether forgot how ye boasted yourself aforetime, even as ye have now done, and then how ye met Perceval, whom ye had scarce sought?
8447Have ye heard Mass, and broken your fast ere ye depart?"
8447He would have me for his love, why should I deny the truth?
8447How came he by his death?
8447How hath this so chanced?
8447Know ye if any within these few days past have carried a knight over the water?"
8447Of what fashion was his steed, and what tokens did he bear?"
8447Quoth Morien:"This castle that standeth here, is there yet any man within?"
8447Quoth Sir Perceval,"Then wherefore delay?
8447Quoth the Moor:"How come ye to speak thus to me?
8447Scarce might he find words; and he cried,"Who hath robbed him of life, mine own dear son, whom I loved above all the world?
8447Sir Gawain, brother, tell me, for fain would I know the truth?"
8447The Moor spake to the twain:"For what do ye take me?
8447Then Morien dismounted, and took Sir Gawain in his arms, and said full oft,"Alas, my comrade, how were ye thus betrayed?
8447Then Sir Gariët asked him:"Sir boatman, what aileth thee?
8447Then Sir Gariët gave courteous greeting to one whom he met, and asked who were this folk, and wherefore they fled thus in haste?
8447Then did he forthwith go to bemoan his comrade, and quoth,"Sir Knight, may ye not be healed?
8447Then quoth the king:"Wit ye well who he was, and how he was hight, who sent ye hither?
8447Though he were black, what was he the worse?
8447What boots it to make long my tale?
8447What boots it to make long my tale?
8447What might Sir Gawain do?
8447What more shall I say hereof?
8447Wherefore should I make my tale over long?
8447Will ye right this maiden of the wrong ye have done her, or fight with me?
8447Wot ye that I be afraid to fight against the twain of ye; or that I have held my hand through fear of death?
7247Ah, my God, how know ye that?
7247And how many prisoners were there altogether in the vaults?
7247Brother!--to dirt like that?
7247But the people arrived in time to save the family; how is it they could save none of the prisoners?
7247But what are these in comparison with me? 7247 Dead?"
7247Duty? 7247 Great guns, my liege, where did you get that?"
7247Has he ever gone beyond that?
7247I am not sorry, I_ think_--but--"What is it? 7247 I?
7247In what lacketh it?
7247Is he asleep?
7247Is it your husband?
7247Is that a marvel? 7247 Nay, is that true?"
7247Nor come not from the lord of the manor?
7247Then every one of them was lost?
7247Then you mean that nobody_ did_ unlock them?
7247Were you actually going yonder to tell on them?
7247What in the world possessed you to buy it?
7247What, then, must one do, to prevail?
7247What? 7247 Would_ you_ have a seat also-- and sit?"
7247You are not a priest?
7247Ah, yes, to go, and know it not; to separate and know it not; how could one go peace-- fuller than that?
7247By and by I said:"What relation were these men to you-- cousins?"
7247Canst thou truly look beyond even so vast a stretch of time as--""Seven hundred years?
7247Does Merlin possess it?"
7247For look you-- what is left to live for?
7247No matter, we must try to cut this man down, on the chance that there might be life in him yet, must n''t we?
7247The man looked puzzled, and said:"Would one unlock the vaults at such a time?
7247The woman spoke:"Fair sir, of your kindness will ye climb the ladder there, and bring me news of what ye find?
7247Think ye the criminals will abide in their father''s house?
7247Turn aside to avoid trampling peasant dirt under foot?
7247What is there for one to be troubled about?"
7247What would a lord say-- yes, or any other person of whatever condition--if he caught an upstart peasant with a dagger on his person?"
7247Which is the mightier gift, do you think?"
7247Who had done this?
7247Yes, he certainly did the best he could, but what of that?
7247You would not tell anybody I said them?"
7242And this is n''t an asylum? 7242 Are these other people in their right minds?"
7242At what hour?
7242Bridgeport?
7242Fair sir, will ye just?
7242Let you_ what_?
7242My master and thine? 7242 Other ones?
7242Prithee what dream?
7242What dream? 7242 What shall I do?
7242Who is it?
7242Why, poor lad, what is the matter? 7242 Will I which?"
7242Will ye try a passage of arms for land or lady or for--"What are you giving me?
7242Are you in your right mind?"
7242But how many, Clarence?
7242Damsel, said Arthur, what sword is that, that yonder the arm holdeth above the water?
7242Do you belong to the asylum, or are you just on a visit or something like that?"
7242Do you know why I laughed?"
7242Escape?
7242I allowed silence to accumulate while I got my impressiveness together, and then said:"How long have I been shut up in this hole?"
7242I mean, it is n''t a place where they cure crazy people?"
7242I said,"you here yet?
7242I waited a minute, to let that idea shudder its way home, and then said:"And according to your notions, what year is it now?"
7242If this was n''t the one I was after, how was I to tell whether this was the sixth century, or nothing but a dream?
7242Is it satisfactory?"
7242Not many, I hope?"
7242Now tell me, honest and true, where am I?"
7242Prithee how long?"
7242Suppose I should be asked to name my calamity?
7242Suppose Sir Walter, instead of putting the conversations into the mouths of his characters, had allowed the characters to speak for themselves?
7242That cheap old humbug, that maundering old ass?
7242The king said:"How long-- ah, how long, good sir?
7242They disputed long, but in the end, Merlin, scoffing, said,''Wherefore hath he not_ named_ his brave calamity?
7242This is the 20th, then?"
7242What are they?"
7242What damsel is that?
7242What is the name of that apparition that brought me here?"
7242What signifieth yonder pavilion?
7242What year was it?"
7242Whether liketh you better, said Merlin, the sword or the scabbard?
7242Why do you blench?
7242Why do you tremble so?"
7242Will you get that to the king for me?"
7242and is it a dream that you''re to be burned to- morrow?
7242what can I say, to gain a little time?"
7782Lo, fool,he said,"ye talk Fool''s treason: is the king thy brother fool?"
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?
7782Wedded her?
7782What an she love me still?
7782What faith have these in whom they sware to love?
7782What rights are his that dare not strike for them?
7782Will ye not lie?
7782a name?
7782art thou not that eunuch- hearted King Who fain had clipt free manhood from the world-- The woman- worshipper?
7782did ye keep the vow ye made to Mark More than I mine?
7782do ye see it?
7782do ye see the star?"
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?
14305Lord Vortiger, what is that thou mournest? 14305 And Arthur stopt and beheld; then gan the fiend to speak:Lord, lord, give me peace; who is it that fighteth with me?
14305And I will send thee tribute of my land, every year as thin?
14305And thus called Colgrim to the kaiser:"Say me, Lord Childric, sooth words; for what kind of thing lie we thus herein?
14305And what are your creeds, that ye in believe, and your dear god, whom ye worship?"
14305Arthur the powerful went to land, and thus gan to call, noblest of kings:"Where art thou, Walwain, dearest of men to me?
14305But first I would of you learn, through your sooth worship, what knights ye be, and whence ye are come, and whether ye will be true, old and eke new?"
14305But what shall be my meed, if I thither ride, and I so gratify thee, that I kill him?"
14305For when we have Rome, and all the realm, we shall seize the lands that thereto he, Poille( Apuha?)
14305He marched to Exeter, at the midfeast( St. John Baptist?
14305Knowest thou not that God alone is better than we all clean?
14305Say me, if thy will is, what betokeneth all this?
14305Say to me, Joram, man to me most hateful, and say to this king what kind of thing hath taken station under this stone?"
14305Seest thou these islands, that stand over this water?"
14305Seest thou this great lake, where the Scots are harmed, seest thou these high trees, and seest thou these eagles fly?
14305The knights with weeping awakened the king, and they called to him with mild voice:"Lord, how is it with thee?
14305The yet called Arthur, noblest of kings:"Where be ye, my Britons?
14305Then answered Gorlois, who was courteous full truly,"Say me, Uther Pendragon, why bowest thou thy head down?
14305Then answered the king, as if she were of his kin:"Lady, say thou it to me-- well it shall be to thee-- here is Merlin thy son, who begat him?
14305Then asked him a fair knight--"Lord, how hast thou fared to- night?"
14305Then called Arthur, noblest of kings:"Where be ye, my Britons, my bold thanes?
14305Then called Uther with quick voice there:"Where be ye, Britons, my bold thanes?
14305Then said Arthur:"Where art thou, Howel, my relation, dearest of men to me?
14305Then said the woman hoar, where she sate by the fire:"What are thou, fair wight?
14305Then saw Vortiger-- of much evil he was ware-- that Constance the king knew nothing of land( government?
14305Then spake Merlin, and discoursed with words:"See ye now, brave men, the great hill, the hill so exceeding high, that to the welkin it is full high?
14305Then was exceeding wrath Dinabuz toward Merlin, and thus quoth Dinabuz, who had the blow:"Merlin, wicked man, why hast thou thus done to me?
14305Thus gan he call, Arthur the keen man:"Where be ye, my knights, my dear- worthy warriors?
14305Thus said the abbot to Vortiger where he rode:"Say me, thou mad knight, why dost thou so great wrong?
14305Vortiger sent to them, and asked how they were disposed( their business); if they sought peace, and recked of his friendship?
14305Weenest thou with such harm to obtain Ygaerne?
14305Where art thou, Uther?
14305Who was held for father to him among the folk?"
14305Why is it befallen, that my brother Modred this sin has wrought?
14305Why should we not go out, and assemble our host, and begin fight with Arthur and with his knights?
14305Yet said the knight to the monarch:"Seest thou, lord, the mount, and the great wood, wherein the fiend dwelleth that destroyeth this people?
14305are thy wings hung with gold?
14305art thou angel, art thou knight?
14305how is thy harm?
14305who shall us feed, who shall us clothe, who shall be our lord at court?
14305who shall us now advise?
14305why wilt thou not come hither?
7250--Sir Driant, Sir Lambegus, Sir Herminde, Sir Pertilope, Sir Perimones, and-- whom do you think?
7250--going to leave Cadiz and cruise in distant seas indefinitely, for the health of your family? 7250 And the queen, Clarence?"
7250Are you-- are you-- well, afraid of these thirty thousand knights?
7250Did the committee make a report?
7250Do you mean it?
7250How did it come about?
7250No? 7250 Unanimous?"
7250Well, I was going to, but--"But what? 7250 Well, and the glass- cylinder dynamite torpedoes?"
7250Well?
7250What are you saying? 7250 What do you mean by that?"
7250What is what?
7250What thing-- where?
7250What was that?
7250Why did you select boys?
7250Why?
7250Why?
7250Wire fence?
7250You tested the torpedoes?
7250_ And_ Sir Launcelot''s?
7250Asleep, perhaps?
7250Consider this: while all England is marching against us, who is in the van?
7250Did he get well?"
7250Did you ever know me to be inhospitable?"
7250Did you send me that word?"
7250Did you think you had educated the superstition out of those people?"
7250Fifty- four what?
7250Grateful?
7250Had the nation been swept out of existence?
7250Had there been an invasion?
7250I lost myself a moment, and I thought you were gone.... Have I been sick long?
7250I said:"Could it be a man, Clarence?"
7250I want to go and--""Be a reception committee?
7250I would have written, would n''t I?"
7250Invasion?
7250Jesu mercy, said the king, where are all my noble knights becomen?
7250Men?
7250Sandy?..."
7250Shall we avoid the battle, retire from the field?"
7250The gatlings?"
7250Then I seemed to see a row of black dots appear along that ridge-- human heads?
7250We started a whispered conversation, but suddenly Clarence broke off and said:"What is that?"
7250Well, how have you arranged the fence?"
7250Well-- is the king all right?
7250What have you been doing?"
7250What is that?"
7250What is the best of that sort, as compared with the friendship of man and wife, where the best impulses and highest ideals of both are the same?
7250What next, I wonder?"
7250When does the performance begin?"
7250Where was my great commerce that so lately had made these glistening expanses populous and beautiful with its white- winged flocks?
7250Who did it?"
7250Who, by the commonest rules of war, will march in the front?
7250Why not take the lightning off the outer fences, and give them a chance?"
7250Why, it''s an immense oversight not to apply a--""Test?
7250a pestilence?
7250an earthquake?
7248An earl, say ye?
7248And if he is unpopular he can depend on_ dying_, right there in the stocks, ca n''t he?
7248As a rule he is crippled for life, is n''t he?--jaws broken, teeth smashed out?--or legs mutilated, gangrened, presently cut off? 7248 Do ye believe--""That he actually will help to fix his own wages?
7248Does n''t ask any of those poor devils to_ help_ him fix their wages for them, does he?
7248I leave it to your own consciences, friends, if this is not also true?
7248Is it right to condemn a man to a slight punishment for a small offense and then kill him?
7248Is that all?
7248Oh, great Scott, is n''t it possible to get such a simple thing through your head? 7248 Then they throw dead cats at him, do n''t they?"
7248They be madmen, worshipful sir, that have come wandering we know not whence, and--"Ye know not whence? 7248 They begin by clodding him; and they laugh themselves to pieces to see him try to dodge one clod and get hit with another?"
7248What is the amount? 7248 What proofs?"
7248What?
7248Will there be_ no_ law or sense in that day?
7248--or an eye knocked out, maybe both eyes?"
7248And what Englishman was the most interested in the slavery question by that time?
7248And what may a mechanic get-- carpenter, dauber, mason, painter, blacksmith, wheelwright, and the like?"
7248And whence are ye?
7248Appeal to_ me_ to be gentle, to be fair, to be generous?
7248But, do n''t you know, there are some things that can beat smartness and foresight?
7248CHAPTER XXXIV THE YANKEE AND THE KING SOLD AS SLAVES Well, what had I better do?
7248Do we stop there?
7248Do ye pretend ye know them not?"
7248Gratitude?
7248He asked me to retain one of the dollars as security, until he could go to town and--I interrupted:"What, and fetch back nine cents?
7248However, I must try:"Why, look here, brother Dowley, do n''t you see?
7248I asked:"What do you pay a pound for salt?"
7248Is a man ever put in the pillory for a capital crime?"
7248Lord, what do you want with words to express that?
7248My position was simple enough, plain enough; how could it ever be simplified more?
7248Pale, shaky, dumb, pitiful?
7248Put yourself in my place; feel as mean as I did, as ashamed as I felt-- wouldn''t_ you_ have struck below the belt to get even?
7248The gentleman inspected us critically, then said sharply to the peasants:"What are ye doing to these people?"
7248The king burst out in a fury, and said:"What meaneth this ill- mannered jest?"
7248The mob try to have some fun with him, do n''t they?"
7248The thing is, how much can you_ buy_ with your wages?
7248Undeserved defeat, but what of that?
7248Well, now, what do you suppose our master did?
7248What do you allow a laboring woman who works on a farm?"
7248What do you pay for a man''s tow- linen suit?"
7248What do you pay for a stuff gown for the wife of the laborer or the mechanic?"
7248What do you pay for beef and mutton-- when you buy it?"
7248What do you pay for beer?"
7248What do you pay for eggs?"
7248What do you pay for wheat?"
7248What usually happens when a poor fellow is put in the pillory for some little offense that did n''t amount to anything in the world?
7248What would he brood about, should you say?
7248Whisper to him?
7248Who are ye?
7248Why?"
7248Would he abolish slavery?
7248You see?
7248_ You_ would n''t think it much of a risk to take a chance in the stocks?"
7246A man not eligible for a lieutenancy in the army unless he can prove four generations of noble descent?
7246And where will they be the day after to- morrow at vespers?
7246And wit you also that to know it skills not of itself, but ye must likewise pronounce it? 7246 And you have no fear to try?"
7246Anything else in the way of news?
7246Are these all?
7246As how?
7246But not certainly? 7246 Can you write?"
7246Come,I said,"what are you waiting for?
7246Do you know the multiplication table?
7246Does the king know the way to this place?
7246Fulfills what rule?
7246Grandfather?
7246Great- grandfather?
7246Great- great- grandfather?
7246How much is 9 times 6?
7246Name, so please you?
7246Oh,_ that_? 7246 Son of?"
7246This will bring them here-- when?
7246Utter it? 7246 What are you talking about?
7246What do you know of the laws of attraction and gravitation?
7246What do you know of the science of optics?
7246What good? 7246 Ye wit that he that would break this spell must know that spirit''s name?"
7246You promise this?--you promise it? 7246 ---- BRER MERLIN WORKS HIS ARTS, BUT GETS LEFT? 7246 After some affectionate interchanges, and some account of my late illness, I said:What is new?"
7246Are ye minded to utter that name and die?"
7246Are you in earnest?"
7246Art a fool?
7246But the name of_ this_ valley doth woundily differ from the name of_ that_ one; indeed to differ wider were not pos--""What was that name, then?"
7246Can you write?"
7246Competitive examination?"
7246Condition?"
7246Do you know where you are?"
7246Does the king''s grace approve of this strange law?"
7246Finally I said:"How does the thing promise by this time, partner?"
7246For was not this my darling, and was not all this mute wonder and interest and homage a most eloquent tribute and unforced compliment to it?
7246Have n''t they told you anything about the great miracle of the restoration of a holy fountain?"
7246He asked if any would like to know what the Emperor of the East was doing now?
7246He stood aside a moment, and Sir Pertipole was questioned further:"Of what condition was the wife of the founder of your line?"
7246His face flushed indignantly, and he fired this at me:"Takest me for a clerk?
7246I have my conditions?"
7246I said:"Can your lordship read?"
7246I said:"How long has this office been established here, Ulfius?"
7246Is it a handkerchief?--saddle blanket?--part of a shirt?
7246Is it true?"
7246Is it writing that appears on it, or is it only ornamentation?
7246Knew ye that?"
7246Many''s the time she had asked me,"Sir Boss, hast seen Sir Launcelot about?"
7246My candidate was called first, out of courtesy to me, and the head of the Board opened on him with official solemnity:"Name?"
7246Now perhaps you can spread yourself a little, and tell us where the king and queen and all that are this moment riding with them are going?"
7246Our Arthur the king--""Would you know of him?"
7246So I sounded a Brother:"Would n''t you like a bath?"
7246They watched the incantations absorbingly, and looked at me with a"There, now, what can you say to that?"
7246What good is such a qualification as that?"
7246What is it for?
7246What is it made of?
7246What part is true?"
7246Who were chosen, and what was the method?
7246Will it wear, do you think, and wo n''t the rain injure it?
7246Would they like to know what the Supreme Lord of Inde was doing?
7246Would you drive away the blessed water again?"
7246Would you think that that would cure?
7246Ye mean, not certainly?"
7246You did n''t hear of them?"
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?
46497( How, then, did he know they_ were_ his comrades?)
46497(_ a_) What is the nature of the Arthurian tradition itself?
46497(_ b_) What was the popular form assumed by that tradition at the time Chrétien wrote?
46497--that was answered in the affirmative long before Chrétien''s day-- but,''When did Lancelot become her lover?
46497175_ et seq._ Now how are all these points of contact to be explained?
46497A man( dwarf?)
46497And if that original story was not the fountain- story, what was it?
46497And if we are at a loss for material to adequately criticise the earlier story, what of the later?
46497And what was this germ?
46497Are these relations, then, an invention of Chrétien, or were they already familiar to the public for whom he wrote?
46497But how do these three stand as regards each other?
46497But what would Professor Foerster say?
46497But_ is_ it a''_ Naturgetreue_''description of Ireland at all?
46497Did Wolfram borrow from Ulrich?
46497Hearing that Lanzelet is a prisoner at Plurîs, Gawain, Karjet( Gaheriet?
46497How did latter return for tourney?
46497How then did Lancelot come into the Arthurian cycle?
46497How then did the latter appear upon the scene, and in what light are we to regard the romances dealing with him?
46497How too did Professor Foerster come to ignore the real character of Guinevere''s imprisonment?
46497How was it possible to preserve intact at once Lancelot''s superiority and the purity of the Christian talisman?
46497Is the form in which we possess it practically the original form, or are we to postulate a series of successive redactions?
46497Is there any one living scholar who is perfectly aware of_ all_ the evidence at our disposal for any of the great stories of the cycle?
46497Is this not rather a description of the fabled Irish Paradise which Chrétien and Giraldus alike have borrowed from a source common to both?
46497It may be asked, how did so simple a_ lai_ as we here postulate attain so great a popularity?
46497It sounds as if it might be Celtic, or can he be in any way connected with Maugis, the resourceful cousin of''_ Les quatre fils Aginon_''?
46497L. slays twenty(?
46497L.=_ nor_= 1533=_ give ten names, the latter adds to those mentioned Les Hardi[ le Laid Hardi?]
46497Meanwhile, what of the romance which had given the initial impulse to the formation of the Lancelot story, the_ Tristan_?
46497Meets dwarf, maiden has stolen his brachet; will Y. get it back for him?
46497Now what does Hartmann say?
46497Or could Perceval have been the hero of some other tale, the popularity of which has waned before that of Chrétien''s poem?
46497So much for theory, what now are the facts?
46497The question is, are we to consider it the work of a later writer, or does it represent an early_ Perceval_ romance, worked over for cyclic purposes?
46497The question is, what was the nature of that seed-- what the relation of the original Arthurian legend to the completed Arthurian romance?
46497The question is_ not_,''Did the queen have a lover?''
46497The_ possibility_ of transmission is as clear as daylight; the question of course is, Would Marie be inclined to take advantage of it?
46497Then ought we not to distinguish between_ romantic_ and_ mythic_?
46497Was it not because the story was unknown to the general public with whom the tale itself counted for more than the skill with which it was told?
46497Was it the greater popularity of_ Merlin_ which displaced him?
46497Was it through the version of the_ Charrette_?''
46497What are the facts?
46497What claim have they to be admitted to a feast so holy that even King Pelles and his son are excluded?
46497What is the connection between the_ Lanzelet_ and the_ Parzival_ of Wolfram von Eschenbach?
46497What is the origin of his name?
46497What prisoner?
46497When serpent finds it can not slay leopard returns to hall( chamber?
46497Where has he spent the night?
46497Where would these stories, Arthurian and Irish, be most likely to meet and mingle, in Great Britain, or in Armorica?
46497Who are these knights?
46497Who more fitted to become the mother of the Grail Winner than the fair maiden who filled the office of Grail- bearer?
46497Why not challenge a single combat at the court, where there would be a public to see that the rules of such combat were observed?
46497Why then did he not explain them to Godefroy de Leigni, who finished the poem with Chrétien''s approval?
46497Why turn from the geography of_ Erec_ to that of_ Cligés_ and the_ Charrette_, only to revert to his first love in_ Yvain_ and_ Perceval_?
46497Why, for instance, does Meleagant suggest that Guinevere shall be put in charge of a knight and follow him?
46497Will Y. give her the knight''s horse?
46497[ 189] What now are the results we may deduce from this examination of four versions of the Galahad_ Queste_?
46497[ 193] Leaving the question of Malory, what may we hold to be the result of this examination on the problem of the_ Queste_ itself?
46497[ 195] Can we decide what special form of the Perceval_ Queste_ the Galahad variant was intended to supersede?
7245A which, please you, sir?
7245Ah, sweet sir, and leave my wife and chick without bread and shelter?
7245But surely you will not sit idle by, but help?
7245But, your Highness, suppose he has nothing to confess?
7245Come-- you do n''t even know these people? 7245 Endureth what?"
7245Family?
7245Has somebody been washing again?
7245He? 7245 Hotel?
7245How are they feeling about the calamity?
7245How does the water usually stand in it?
7245How is trade?
7245How? 7245 Is she alive?"
7245Keep open?
7245Knock off?
7245My lord?
7245No family? 7245 Now how indeed might that be?
7245So the Unknown was near the dead stag, too? 7245 Thanks for what?"
7245The community has prospered since?
7245Then is this Unknown the only person who saw the stag killed?
7245We want to take them to their home, do n''t we?
7245Well, then, whose house is this?
7245Well, then, why in the world_ did n''t_ he confess?
7245Well, well, well,--now who would ever have thought it? 7245 Well, why would n''t you tell me your story, then?"
7245What is it?
7245What will he say? 7245 Where is this watering place?"
7245Wherefore, fair sir and Boss?
7245Which family, good my lord?
7245Who doubted? 7245 Who?"
7245Will I be traitor to my knight, dost think? 7245 You_ did_?
7245A successful whirl in the knight- errantry line-- now what is it when you blow away the nonsense and come down to the cold facts?
7245Am I right?"
7245An I rack him to death and he confess not, it will peradventure show that he had indeed naught to confess-- ye will grant that that is sooth?
7245And how can I bear it?
7245And if it were not so, who will give law to the Church?
7245And often, in spite of me, I found myself saying,"What would this country be without the Church?"
7245And then there was that damsel of sixty winter of age still excursioning around in her frosty bloom-- How old are you, Sandy?"
7245Are those three yonder that to my disordered eyes are starveling swine- herds--""The ogres, Are_ they_ changed also?
7245But is Merlin working strictly on pious lines?"
7245But what is your highness''s idea for racking the prisoner?
7245Can you call_ those_ assets?
7245Do they keep open afternoons?"
7245Do they knock off at noon?"
7245Forsooth what can he say but give thanks?"
7245How did you ever venture to take this extravagant liberty?
7245How so?
7245I called in a monk and asked:"How deep is the well?"
7245I mind not to have heard--""Of hotel?
7245I never saw such a dunderhead; ca n''t you understand anything at all?
7245I said to the queen:"Then why in the world did n''t you set them free?"
7245I said:"Castle?
7245I said:"How many are in the family, Sandy, and where do they keep themselves?"
7245I thought to myself: She?
7245I went on--"You know of me?"
7245If we look at it in another way, we see how absurd it is: if I had an anvil in me would I prize it?
7245Imploring what?
7245Is it a celebrated place?"
7245Is n''t it just possible that he did the killing himself?
7245Is n''t that plain enough?
7245Is there a matinee?"
7245Is there anything stirring in the monkery, more than common?"
7245Now am I fearful; for how canst thou strike with sure aim when five of their nine cubits of stature are to thee invisible?
7245Oh, and he will not speak!--whereas, the healing, the solace that lie in a blessed swift death--""What_ are_ you maundering about?
7245Shall I starve whom I love, to win a gentle death?
7245So he had lost five of his treasures; there must still be one remaining-- one now infinitely, unspeakably precious,--but_ which_ one?

42205And the Grail?
42205And why the insistence upon Avalon?
42205Anonymous(?
42205But if the fish had really the symbolic meaning ascribed to it would not a far greater stress be laid upon it?
42205But then if the Grand St. Graal is the younger work, whence does it derive Brons, Alain, and Petrus, all of whom are introduced in such a casual way?
42205But why should Joseph become the Grail- keeper?
42205Can a parallel be found in Celtic tradition to this sufferer awaiting deliverance?
42205Can these words be a reminiscence of Chrestien''s?
42205Can, too, the"two nuns,"who bring in bread and wine, be due to the"Il Abéies,"which Perceval sees on entering Blanchefleur''s town?
42205Could not this form of the myth be made to yield a human, practical conception of the Quest and Winning of the Holy Grail?
42205Do the foregoing facts throw any light upon the question whether the two sections of the romance are originally independent, and which is the earlier?
42205Had he not seen Grail and lance pass?
42205How does this affect Amfortas and the Grail?
42205How is it with the testimony of the MSS.?
42205How is this leading conception worked out?
42205If he only knew of the Grail from Chrestien, what gave him the idea of endowing it, as he did, with mystic properties?
42205If the Mabinogi be a simple copy of the Conte du Graal, whence the altered significance of the talismans?
42205If, then, one French version, that followed by Heinrich, who is obviously a translator, is lost, why not another?
42205In Heinrich the father is named Leigamar, the eldest daughter Fursensephin,( Fleur sans epine?
42205In so far Borron was led to his conception by the story as told in the canonical books; what help did he get from the Apocrypha?
42205In this case, at least, Gautier must have had two sources, and if two why not more?
42205Is Manessier any nearer than Gautier to the Mabinogi in the later portion of the tale?
42205Is it merely an expedient to account for their sudden vanishing at daylight?
42205Is it not evident that the Queste took over these features from Chrestien, compelled thereto by the celebrity of the latter''s presentment?
42205Is such a punning explanation more consonant with the earliness or the lateness of the versions in which it is found?
42205Is that of Perceval, pure and tempted, on the point of yielding, yet saved by the sight of the symbol of his Faith, to be of no avail to us?
42205Is the example of Galahad and his unwavering pursuit of the highest spiritual object set before him, nothing to us?
42205Is the model treated in this way by the Didot- Perceval Chrestien''s poem?
42205Is this so?
42205May it not be urged that Chrestien''s account is obviously at variance with the older story as he found it?
42205Need Perceval''s question detain us?
42205No; then what is his name?
42205She asks, had Perceval seen the bleeding lance, the graal, and the silver dish?
42205Sources: Christian legend( Acta, Pilati, Descensus Christi, Vindicta Salvatoris) and Breton sagas( Brut?).
42205The question,"Whom serve they with the Grail?"
42205Then enter two damsels bearing lights, followed by two knights with a spear, and two more damsels with a"toblier"(?
42205Was no other course open?
42205What are these?
42205What is the author''s idea?
42205What light is thrown upon the matter by the remaining versions, and which of these two accounts do they support?
42205What then led Borron to connect the sacramental vessel with the Joseph legend?
42205What, on the other hand, is the story as told in the Mabinogi?
42205[ 102] Now how had Fionn obtained this sword originally?
42205[ 126] But what means the death- in- life condition of the King and his men?
42205[ 149] If the author''s way of carrying out his conception can not be praised, how does it stand with the conception itself?
42205[ 22] B. H.:"When will the Holy Vessel come to still the pain I feel?
42205had he asked their meaning?
42205had supposed; would he in that case have brought the Grail to England, and left Joseph''s fate in uncertainty?
42205may not the fact be accounted for by the introduction of a strange element into the thread of the romance?
42205whence also the machinery by means of which the hero is at last brought to his goal, and which is, briefly, as follows?
42205which he found in Chrestien, was necessarily meaningless to him, and he replaced it by his,"Uncle, what is it tortures thee?"
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?"
14568Do ye refuse it,asks the lady,"because it seems simple and of little value?

3011What distant music has the power To win her in this woful hour?
3011What for this island, deemed of old Clan- Alpine''s last and surest hold?
3011What from a prince can I demand, Who neither reck of state nor land?
3011What melting voice attends the strings?
3011What more?
3011What recked the Chieftain if he stood On Highland heath or Holy- Rood?
3011What woful accents load the gale?
3011When did my gifted dream beguile?
3011When move they on?
3011When move they on?''
3011When the King was set at his dinner, he asked what he had done, what he had said, and whither he had gone?
3011Where dwell we now?
3011Where live the mountain Chiefs who hold That plundering Lowland field and fold Is aught but retribution true?
3011Who basely live?--who bravely died?''
3011Who meets them at the churchyard gate?
3011Who o''er the herd would wish to reign, Fantastic, fickle, fierce, and vain?
3011Why else, to Cambus- kenneth''s fane, If eve return him not again, Am I to hie and make me known?
3011Why wakes that horn the silent morn, Without the leave of me?"
3011a Douglas thou, And shun to wreathe a victor''s brow?''
3011can fear supply, And jealousy, no sharper eye?
3011did Ellen say,''Why urge thy chase so far astray?
3011holdst thou thus at naught The lesson I so lately taught?
3011in such hour of fear What evil hap has brought thee here?''
3011is the Douglas fallen so far, His daughter''s hand is deemed the spoil Of such dishonorable broil?''
3011or wherefore art thou here?
3011said he naught Of war, of battle to be fought, Of guarded pass?''
3011was that a signal cry?''
3011what blithe and jolly peal Makes the Franciscan steeple reel?
3011what means her lay?
3011what means yon faint halloo?
3011what messenger of speed Spurs hitherward his panting steed?
3011what mingles in the strain?
3011what sounds are these?
3011what tidings of the foe?''
3011woe the day, That I such hated truth should say!-- The Douglas, like a stricken deer, Disowned by every noble peer, Even the rude refuge we have here?
2414A fool? 2414 And what is thy name, fair friend?"
2414Depart? 2414 Duke,"says Cliges,"what may be your pleasure?
2414From Greece?
2414Is it he?
2414Lady, when was your heart there? 2414 Mine, sire?
2414No?
2414See ye him not? 2414 Sire,"quoth he,"would you know what you have promised me?
2414Tell you? 2414 To me?
2414What shall I say first?
2414Who is he, then?
2414Who is thy father?
2414A lie?
2414A misfortune?
2414And Cliges has quickly sent for John to his lodging, and has said to him privily:"John, knowest thou what I will say?
2414And am I then on that account his lady?
2414And how have you fared since you have come into this land?
2414And how should I commit so great a treason?
2414And if I see aught that grieves me, still have I not my eyes under my own sway?
2414And if he is alive wherefore comes he not?
2414And on the other side they say:"See ye not what a champion our adversaries have sent us from their side?
2414And shall I hide the cause of my grief, and not dare to seek help or succour for my sorrows?
2414And shall I not have my desire?
2414And should I lie in so calling him?
2414And since he neither loves nor esteems me, shall I love him if he loves me not?
2414And were not mine yours?
2414And what care I for his beauty?
2414And what of the teeth in her mouth?
2414And what thanks does he owe me, since he can not have service or kindness of me by fair means?
2414And what wrong, then, have my eyes done to me if they gaze on what I will to look at?
2414And what?
2414And wherefore do I think more of him if he does not please me more than another?
2414And why is his name so hard to me that I wish to add a name of courtesy?
2414And why should he go to seek advice when he does not expect to find health?
2414And yet he has not put out thine eye?
2414But how does one know unless he put it to the test what may be good and what ill?
2414But think you to have seen all my tower and all my pleasaunce?
2414But what matters it to me?
2414But who is he?
2414But why does he wait; and why does he delay, who is thoroughly bold in her behalf, and has shown dread of none but her?
2414Call him by his name?
2414Can not?
2414Dared?
2414Death, what hast thou done?
2414Do the people, does the land please you?
2414Does Love think to put me in the way which is wo nt to mislead other folk?
2414Does Love, then, know how to do evil?
2414Faith, then, am I mad?
2414Fool, what have I said?
2414For were not your health and your life mine, sweet friend?
2414Friend?
2414Given?
2414Grief?
2414Have fetched it back?
2414He would deem himself to be acting well-- would deem?
2414How are they different and contrary?
2414How then has he struck his dart into thy body when no wound appears without?
2414How then?
2414How?
2414How?
2414I do not know?
2414I know it?
2414If I can?
2414If Love chastises and threatens in order to teach me his lesson, ought I to disdain my master?
2414If a man could have such a treasure, why should he desire any other wealth all his life?
2414If his beauty draws my eyes, and my eyes obey the spell, shall I for that say I love him?
2414If the dart enter through the midst of the eye, why does my heart suffer pain in my body?
2414In what member has he struck thee?
2414Is he not fairer than I, of much nobler birth than I?
2414Is he not kind and debonair?
2414Is it not Cliges?
2414Is not that the empress by his side?
2414Is this love?
2414Know ye in what wise we shall requite them?
2414Lords, know ye not?
2414Myself, who have them in my keeping?
2414Now speak reason to me: how has the dart passed through thine eye in such wise that the eye is not wounded or bruised by it?
2414Nurse, in God''s name what think you of this damsel''s illness?
2414Of what land is he a native?
2414Ought I to blame them?
2414Promised?
2414Shall I love them all for the sake of one?
2414Shall I then pray him?
2414She comes at his command-- but why should I spin out my story?
2414Sorrow?
2414Take away?
2414Then art thou not wrong?
2414Then is it not better for me to meditate in silence than to get myself dubbed a fool?
2414Then is not the heart placed in the body like the lighted candle which is put inside the lantern?
2414There is none who does not stay where he is; and yet there are some who ask:"Why do these knights wait?
2414Through the eye?
2414Thus asks this man and that,"Who is this youth, who is he?"
2414True, neither blow nor wound is visible and yet dost thou complain?
2414Was it there when I was there?"
2414What conceal?
2414What does it matter as he will never know it unless I tell him myself?
2414What fault and wrong do they commit?
2414What forbids it me?
2414What if I dared to call him friend?
2414What is your opinion?
2414What joy have you had here?
2414What kind of miracle is it that I see?
2414What shall I do if I do not pray him for his love?
2414What shall I do, then?
2414What shall I say?
2414Whence are ye?"
2414Whence comes this amazing modernity and complexity?
2414Whence comes this fear to him that he fears a single maiden, weak and timid, simple and shy?
2414Where shall I find any more a friend, since these three are enemies who belong to me yet kill me?
2414Who knows him?"
2414Who would believe then as regards your uncle that I have gone off and escaped from him still a maid, but a maid to no purpose?
2414Whom, then?
2414Whom?
2414Why are not our bodies so near that I could in some way have fetched my heart back?
2414Why can not mine, all alone, avail as much as his with him?
2414Why does none ride forth from the ranks?
2414Why does not my eye also feel the pain, since it receives the first blow?
2414Why does she not know that the thoughts of Alexander, on his side, are directed towards her?
2414Why not?
2414Why then did he weep?
2414Why were our shields made?
2414Why, then, has Cliges slain me without any fault of mine?
2414Why?
2414Why?"
2414Will she recover?"
2414With what power of mine can I sway him, that he should esteem me so highly as to make me his lady?
2414art thou mad or drunk that thou has killed my love without killing me?
2414how will he ever know it, since I shall not tell him?
2414quoth each,"why took''st thou not a ransom for my lady?
2414quoth he,"what has befallen me?
2414quoth she,"are you enchanted, my sweet lady dear, that you have so wan a countenance?
2414tell me now, is not this sorrow which seems sweet to me, and yet which tortures me, a deceitful one?
2414then am I the Death who has killed you; is not that unjust?
2414whence has the power come to him so early that he has won so great distinction?"
2414whence then are you come, since you know not what has happened but now in the city?
2414who is this in whom so great beauty blooms?
2414why did I know it not?
2414why does your lover live and see you dead?
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?"
36462Ah, Tramtrist,said she,"why wilt thou not fight in this tournament?
36462Ah, well,said Balin, drawing a long breath,"is that indeed the man?
36462Ah,said Sir Bleoberis, amazed;"hast thou then met with them?
36462Alas,said King Arthur,"what hast thou done, Merlin?
36462And you,he answered,"what is it to you?
36462Art thou that proud knight,said the duke,"who was ready to fight with me?
36462Cometh this desire from himself?
36462Cometh this prayer from thee or from thy son?
36462Fair damsel,answered he,"know ye not that the knight ye love is of all knights the noblest in the world, Sir Lancelot du Lake?
36462Fair damsel,said he,"whither lead ye this knight?"
36462Fair one, what have I to do with that? 36462 For what cause?"
36462God be with thee, fair damsel,quoth the king;"what desirest thou of me?"
36462Have I not seen thee,said the king,"at King Arthur''s court?
36462How are ye named?
36462How sayest thou?
36462I consent not,cried Sir Tristram,"for who is here that will give rightful judgment?
36462In whose name shall I greet him?
36462Is he Sir Lancelot?
36462Is it to him you belong?
36462Know ye not then yourself?
36462Madam,said he,"what would you have me do?
36462May I not take the damsel with me I brought hither?
36462May I, then, stand as a proved knight?
36462Now God be thanked,cried he;"but who is he that standeth yonder by himself, and seemeth not a prisoner?"
36462Now 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?"
36462Now, fair lady,said King Arthur,"what say ye?"
36462Now, mercy,said Sir Gawain, who sat by King Arthur;"what knight is that who doth such marvelous deeds of arms?
36462Ride ye after the knight with the white hound?
36462Seest thou yonder blue pavilion?
36462Shall I not call him traitor,cried she,"who hath worn another lady''s token at the jousting?"
36462Shall we be afraid of a dream- reader?
36462Sir Lionel,he cried,"will ye slay your brother, one of the best knights of all the world?
36462Sir knight,said King Arthur,"for what cause abidest thou here?
36462Sirs,said Sir Galahad,"what adventure hath brought ye here?"
36462Take ye no warning from those knights that hang on yonder trees?
36462Tell me, dear friend,said Gawain,"have you ever before made petition to any knight?"
36462That is false,said King Arthur;"how shouldst thou know?
36462Then am I sure of thy aid,said the king,"on Tuesday now next coming?"
36462Then wherefore cometh he in such array?
36462Thou hast defeated us, in truth,replied Sir Sagramour,"and on the faith of knighthood I require thee tell us thy right name?"
36462Thou sayest well,replied Sir Lancelot;"but who is he thou hatest so above all others?"
36462Was it not,cried Gawain,"in the house of this Thiébault that Meliance of Lis was nurtured?"
36462Well,said the queen,"is this your answer, that ye refuse us all?"
36462Well,said they,"will ye die?"
36462What are thou,said King Arthur, starting up all pale,"that tellest me these tidings?"
36462What are ye, and whence come ye?
36462What be they?
36462What damsel is that?
36462What hast thou to do between me and my wife?
36462What is her name, and who is he that hath besieged her?
36462What is thy husband''s name?
36462What is thy lord''s name, lady?
36462What is thy lord''s name?
36462What is thy name?
36462What is thy name?
36462What is thy name?
36462What knight is that?
36462What meaneth this?
36462What noise is this?
36462What saw ye, sirs?
36462What saw ye?
36462What sawest thou?
36462What tidings at Camelot?
36462What tidings?
36462What were their names?
36462What will ye do, Sir knight?
36462What will ye do?
36462What wilt thou?
36462Where dwelleth your lady?
36462Where had ye this adventure?
36462Where is Sir Lancelot?
36462Where is the maiden?
36462Where shall I meet thee again?
36462Where,said Sir Galahad,"shall we find a girdle for it?"
36462Wherefore askest thou that?
36462Wherefore make so much sorrow now?
36462Wherefore so smitest thou my horse, foul dwarf?
36462Wherefore?
36462Whither fareth he? 36462 Whither fleest thou?"
36462Who are ye, son?
36462Who is he?
36462Who is he?
36462Who is it?
36462Who is it?
36462Who then is he?
36462Why have ye slain my hounds?
36462Why hidest thou thy name, dear lord, from me?
36462Why ridest thou over here without my leave?
36462Why say ye so?
36462Why should I not pass over them?
36462Why should I not,said he,"since for that cause I came here?"
36462Why should I not?
36462Why should ye do so?
36462Why,said Sir Lionel,"will ye hinder me and meddle in this strife?
36462Why,said Sir Tristram,"may not a Cornish knight do well as any other?
36462Wilt thou be warrant for safe conduct, if I go with thee?
36462Wilt thou forever deem me coward?
36462Wilt thou match those two knights,said the damsel to Sir Beaumains,"or return again?"
36462Ye be welcome,said he,"but whence are ye?"
36462And presently he said within himself,"If I now throw this sword into the water, what good should come of it?"
36462And taking his horse, he rode after him, and said,"Know ye not me, Beaumains?"
36462And the damsel rode on before Sir Beaumains, and said to him,"Why dost thou follow me, thou kitchen boy?
36462And the damsel went into the ship with them, and spake to Sir Percival:"Sir Percival, know ye not who I am?"
36462And they cried to him,"Whence comest thou?"
36462And 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?"
36462And when he was unarmed, the damsel said to her lady,"Madam, shall we abide here this night?"
36462Anon came out the knight- hermit, whose name was Sir Baldwin, and asked,"Who is this wounded knight?"
36462Anon she said,"Where is my youngest son, Sir Gareth?
36462Anon the bishop gave him the sacrament, and when he had received it with unspeakable gladness, he said,"Who art thou, father?"
36462Anon, they sent him a fair damsel, bearing his supper, who asked him,"What cheer?"
36462Are there no bigger knights in King Arthur''s court?
36462Art thou called of men a noble knight, and wouldest betray me for a jewelled sword?
36462At noon the damsel came to him and brought his dinner, and asked him as before,"What cheer?"
36462At that a knight came out of the pavilion and said,"Fair knight, why smote ye down my shield?"
36462But Sir Lionel answered, with an angry face,"What vain words be these, when for you I might have been slain?
36462But no sooner was he brought to him than he asked in a loud voice, for what cause he was thus dragged there?
36462But tell me first, what soughtest thou thus here alone, and of what land art thou?"
36462But the damsel cheered the Green Knight, and said,"My lord, why wilt thou let a kitchen knave so long stand up against thee?"
36462But thereupon the damsel was full wroth, and said,"Shall I have a kitchen page for this adventure?"
36462But when he told her she must leave her earthly thoughts, she answered,"Am I not an earthly woman?
36462But where is the battle to be held?"
36462Do you think a merchant would bear such huge lances?
36462Gawain asked,"Fair sweet sir, is this maid your daughter?"
36462Gawain rode up to the squire and said,"Tell me, what is yonder troop that hath ridden by?"
36462Hearing him cry, Sir Balin fiercely turned his horse, and said,"Fair knight, what wilt thou with me?
36462How can I do you justice against your sister?"
36462How say ye?"
36462I am yet a feeble knight, and but for thee had been a dead man now: what wouldest thou I should do?
36462I pray thee tell me who gave thee this sword?
36462Is it not a pleasure to see such a knight?
36462Is it not time to stay this slaying?
36462Of what court art thou?"
36462On the morrow, came one of the ladies to Sir Gawain, and talked with him, saying,"Sir knight, what cheer?"
36462On the twenty- fifth day he opened his eyes and saw those standing round, and said,"Why have ye waked me?
36462One of the damsels said,"The knight beneath yonder tree, why doth he delay to take arms?"
36462See ye not what people we have lost in waiting on the footmen, and that it costs ten horsemen to save one of them?
36462She is full of her tricks; she hath been quick about it; where did you find her?"
36462Sir Gawain answered,"Pray, what is it to you why I tarry?
36462Sir Sagramour looked haughtily at Sir Tristram, and made mocking of his words, and said,"Fair knight, be ye a knight of Cornwall?"
36462Sir knight of the Round Table, dost thou withdraw thee from so young a knight?
36462So, on the morrow, King Arthur was armed and well horsed, and asked Sir Damas,"When shall we go to the field?"
36462Soon he found means to ask one who sat near him,"Is there not here a knight whose name is Garlon?"
36462The king being surprised at this, said,"Damsel, wherefore art thou girt with that sword, for it beseemeth thee not?"
36462Then all men asked,"Know ye him, lord?"
36462Then came the queen to him and said,"Sir Lancelot, will ye leave me thus at this high feast?"
36462Then he asked Sir Lancelot,"Was it from this maid who tendeth you so lovingly ye had the token?"
36462Then said King Arthur,"What is thy first request?"
36462Then said King Arthur,"Who are ye, thus groaning and complaining?"
36462Then said Sir Balin le Savage,"What knight art thou?
36462Then said Sir Gawain,"Know ye that knight?"
36462Then said Sir Lancelot, very sad at heart,"Fair maid, what would ye that I should do for you?"
36462Then said Sir Lavaine, marveling greatly,"How know ye my lord''s name, fair sister?"
36462Then said he to a page who stood without,"What noise is this I hear?"
36462Then said he-- keeping his own visor down--"I pray thee tell me of what country art thou, and what court?"
36462Then said the damsel,"See you that ivory horn hanging upon the sycamore- tree?
36462Then 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?"
36462Then said the old man,"Why art thou so sad?"
36462Then 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?"
36462Then the king asked Sir Gareth whether he would have that lady for his wife?
36462Then turning to Merlin, Arthur said,"Prophesy now, O Merlin, shall Sir Tor become a worthy knight, or not?"
36462Then was Sir Lancelot passing heavy of heart, and said to Sir Bernard and Sir Lavaine,"What shall I do for her?"
36462Then, looking at them both as they lay groveling on the grass, Sir Tristram said,"Fair knights, will ye joust any more?
36462Then, turning again to the magicians, Merlin said,"Tell me now, false sycophants, what there is underneath that pool?"
36462Therewith 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?
36462Thiébault, who had taken leave, heard his child''s entreaty, and said,"Girl, who bade you come here and complain to this knight?"
36462What sin is it to love the noblest knight of all the world?
36462What verse more beautiful than his to tell of chivalry?
36462What would you with that beast?"
36462When Sir Marhaus and Sir Tristram were thus left alone, Sir Marhaus said,"Young knight Sir Tristram, what doest thou here?
36462When he awoke he saw a woman standing by him, who said to him right fiercely,"Sir Percival, what doest thou here?"
36462When they had saluted each other, Sir Lancelot said,"Fair damsel, knowest thou where any adventures may be had in this country?"
36462When they were landed came a squire and asked them,"Be ye of King Arthur''s court?"
36462Whereat Sir Ector, turning to young Arthur, asked him--"How gottest thou the sword?"
36462Why give ye not your mercy unto them that ask it?
36462Will ye soon again speak shame of Cornish knights?"
36462With 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?"
36462and from whom thou hadst it?"
36462but who may escape the doom of God?"
36462cried Sir Lancelot,"why have ye betrayed me?"
36462cried Sir Lavaine,"what shall I do now?"
36462cried out King Arthur, rising up in wrath;"why hast thou done this, shaming both me and my court?
36462cried out the lady;"will ye take away my hound from me by force?"
36462dear brother, why have ye tarried so long, for your wound hath taken cold?"
36462hast thou slain this good knight by thy crafts?
36462mine own dear father and my brother, why kneel ye thus to me?"
36462my lord King Arthur, what shall become of me now ye have gone from me?"
36462said King Arthur,"where is that knight?
36462said Sir Lancelot;"but what is your brother''s name?"
36462said Sir Tristram;"art thou a knight at all?"
36462shouted he,"who taught thee to distress fair ladies thus?"
36462to joust with any knight that passeth by?
36462what do ye here, within these borders?"
36462what dost thou here?
36462what shall that aid me?"
36462why wilt thou slay this lady?
36462will ye have never done?
36462wilt thou joust?"
36462would ye give the ancient scepter of this land unto a boy born none know how?"
22650''Will she lie now, Lord God?''
22650A many marvels have been here to- night; Tell me what news of Launcelot you have, And has God''s body ever been in sight?
22650A trumpet?
22650After that day why is it Guenevere grieves?
22650Alleyne is paid now; your name Alleyne too?
22650And choose again: shall it be head sans ears, Or trunk sans head?
22650And if I choose to take the losing side Still, does it hurt you?
22650And what if Palomydes also ride, And over many a mountain and bare heath Follow the questing beast with none beside?
22650And why not build?
22650Are not my blue eyes sweet?
22650Being such a lady could I weep these tears If this were true?
22650But I forgot, you have not told me yet If you can guess why I talk nonsense thus, Instead of drinking wine while you are hang''d?
22650But as he pass''d by her window He grew a little wroth: O, why does yon pale face look at me From out the golden cloth?
22650But not the constable''s: whose arms, I wonder, does it bear?
22650But tell me, John, Is it quite true that Pagans hang So thick about the east, that on The eastern sea no Venice flag Can fly unpaid for?
22650Can you talk faster, sir, Get over all this quicker?
22650Did he not come to me?
22650Did not the blue owl mark the men Whose spears stood like the corn a- row?
22650Did you note how I Fell weeping just now?
22650Did you see Mellyagraunce When Launcelot stood by him?
22650Didst ever see a woman''s bones, my Lord?
22650Didst ever think queens held their truth for dear?
22650Do I kneel here, and can you doubt me?
22650Do I not know now of a day in Spring?
22650Do I not see how God''s dear pity creeps All through your frame, and trembles in your mouth?
22650Do not go just yet, For I am Alice, am right like her now, Will you not kiss me on the lips, my love?
22650Do you not know me, are you gone mad?
22650Eh?
22650Eh?
22650Eh?
22650Galahad sits dreamily; What strange things may his eyes see, Great blue eyes fix''d full on me?
22650Hearing you sweat to prove All this I know so well; but you have read The siege of Troy?
22650How could it be?
22650How many hours did she wait For me, I wonder?
22650How often did the choking sob Raise up her head and lips?
22650How?
22650I did not come to you?
22650I have been, is more worth Than many castles; will you bring this death, For a mere act of justice, on my head?
22650I love God now a little, if this cord Were broken, once for all what striving could Make me love anything in earth or heaven?
22650I mean the one with Paul wrought on the blade?
22650I will not tell you more to- day, Judge any way you will: what matters it?
22650I wonder did her poor heart throb At distant tramp of coming knight?
22650I''m master here, And do not want your schooling; is it not My mercy that you are not dangling dead There in the gateway with a broken neck?
22650If they spat on the recreant knight, Threw stones at him, and cursed him deep, Why then: what then?
22650Is he not able still to hold his breath With thoughts of Iseult?
22650Is he unarm''d?
22650Is it not true that every day She climbeth up the same strange way, Her scarlet cloak spread broad and gay, Over my golden hair?
22650Is there any who will dare To climb up the yellow stair, Glorious Rapunzel''s golden hair?
22650Launcelot, Launcelot, why did he take your hand, When he had kissed me in his kingly way?
22650Lie still, fair love, have ye gotten harm While I was on the sea?
22650Men mock me in the streets, Only in whispers loud, because I am Friend of the constable; will this please you, Unhappy Peter?
22650Nay, was it a knight''s shout I heard?
22650No again?
22650Now tell me, you that are in love, From the king''s son to the wood- dove, Which is the better, he or I?
22650Now that I have you, will you go, think you?
22650Now, Curzon, listen; if they come, these French, Whom have I got to lean on here, but you?
22650Now, which shall I let go, fair knight, And which shall bide with me?
22650O, if I lose you after all the past, What shall I do?
22650O, love Louise, have you waited long?
22650Of her long neck what shall I say?
22650Or did they strangle him as he lay there, With the long scarlet scarf I used to wear?
22650Ozana, shall I pray for thee?
22650Pray you, does the Lord Will that all folks should be quite happy and good?
22650Say, was not Ellayne''s gold hair fine, That fell to her middle free?
22650See how young I am, Do you care altogether more for France, Say rather one French faction, than for all The state of Christendom?
22650Set gently waving in the wind; Or her long hands that I may find On some day sweet to move o''er me?
22650Shall I call the guard To hang them, sir?
22650So eagerly glad to kiss, so loath to leave When you rose up?
22650So many reapers, Father John, So many reapers and no little son, To meet you when the day is done, With little stiff legs to waddle and run?
22650So: What are their names?
22650Still as he rode he knew not she was dead, Thought her but fainted from her broken wrist, He bound with his great leathern belt: she bled?
22650Stop, sir, and tell me if you slew him then, And where he died, if you can really mean That Peter Harpdon, the good knight, is dead?
22650Suppose this has not happen''d after all?
22650THE HAYSTACK IN THE FLOODS Had she come all the way for this, To part at last without a kiss?
22650The Clisson arms?
22650The light, Did it come on her unawares, And drag her sternly down before People who loved her not?
22650The west wind from the wheat Blows cold across my feet; Is it not time to meet Gold wings across the sea?
22650They can not love like you can, who Would burn your hands off, if that pain Could win a kiss; am I not true To you for ever?
22650This thing we did while yet he was alive, Why not, O twisting knight, now he is dead?
22650Till the day Had faded wholly, and the gate Clanged to behind returning knights?
22650Was it nought then, my agony and strife?
22650What are Edwards unto you, Or Richards?
22650What base- court?
22650What call they these blue flowers that lean across my feet?
22650What colour''d hair Has Peter now?
22650What do you talk of?
22650What have we lying here?
22650What have you got there, fumbling up your sleeve, A stolen purse?
22650What if his hair that brush''d her cheek Was stiff with frozen rime?
22650What makes you laugh?
22650What matter that I can not see, If ye take me by the hand?
22650What matter?
22650What says the herald of our cousin, sir?
22650What shall we do with all these prisoners, sir?
22650What sort of death do you expect to get, Being taken this way?
22650What thing could keep true Launcelot away If I said, Come?
22650What, life then?
22650Where is Jehane du Castel beau?
22650Whereto in answer loud and eagerly, One said: Impossible?
22650Who walked in that garden there?
22650Who will be faithful to us to- day, With little but hard glaive- strokes for pay?
22650Why among helmed men Could I always tell you by your long strong arms, And sway like an angel''s in your saddle there?
22650Why did you fill all lands with your great fame, So that Breuse even, as he rode, fear''d lest At turning of the way your shield should flame?
22650Why did your long lips cleave In such strange way unto my fingers then?
22650Why does she kiss me, Father John?
22650Why flee ye so like men dismay''d?
22650Why has she a broken sword?
22650Why met he not with Iseult from the West, Or better still, Iseult of Brittany?
22650Why should I talk with you?
22650Why sicken''d I so often with alarms Over the tilt- yard?
22650Why were you more fair Than aspens in the autumn at their best?
22650Why, sir, you jest: what matters Jacques''hair, Or Peter''s legs to us?
22650Why, what is this I see?
22650Why, will it make you any uglier man To lose your ears?
22650Yea so: the causeway holdeth good Under the water?
22650Yea, had she borne the dirt and rain That her own eyes might see him slain Beside the haystack in the floods?
22650Yea, love; but shall we not depart from hence?
22650Yea: For she would put her hands upon my face: Yea, that is best, yea feel, love, am I changed?
22650Your brother was slain there?
22650Your face must hurt me always: pray you now, Doth it not hurt you too?
22650[_ Muttering as he goes._ What have I done that he should jape at me?
22650_ And ever the chevron overhead Flapped on the banner of the dead;( Was he asleep, or was he dead?
22650a Gascon with an English name, Harpdon?
22650but is this real grass, love, that I tread upon?
22650dost thou reck That I am beautiful, Lord, even as you And your dear mother?
22650doth he not grow pale With weary striving, to seem best of all To her,''as she is best,''he saith?
22650for who can tell?
22650has Jacques got bow legs?
22650in good times All men live well together, and you, too, Live dull and happy: happy?
22650in prayers Did she say one name and no more?
22650is he sleeping, my scarf round his head?
22650is there any law To make a queen say why some spots of red Lie on her coverlet?
22650is there any will ride with me, Sir Giles, le bon des barrières?_ I stood by the barrier, My coat being blazon''d fair to see;_ Ho!
22650is there any will ride with me, Sir Giles, le bon des barrières?_ The clink of arms is good to hear, The flap of pennons fair to see;_ Ho!
22650is there any will ride with me, Sir Giles, le bon des barrières?_ The leopards and lilies are fair to see; St. George Guienne!
22650la belle!_"but who fell then?
22650lies, my Jehane?
22650must I lose My own heart''s love?
22650no hurt to me; I see you sneering, Why take trouble then, Seeing you love me not?
22650not so quick, Suppose sharp thoughts begin to burn you up?
22650not so sweet?
22650on your own blood, Own name, you heap this foul disgrace?
22650or will you care For any plausible lies of cunning woof, When you can see my face with no lie there For ever?
22650or will you say: Your hands are white, lady, as when you we d, Where did you bleed?
22650qu''elle est belle La Marguerite._ Likewise to- night I make good cheer, Because this battle draweth near: For what have I to lose or fear?
22650ribs driven out far; That must have reach''d the heart, I doubt: how now, What say you, Aldovrand, a woman?
22650this is a fiend and not a man; Will some one save me from him?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650thou art sad, art thou kind?
22650though I love you well, Said Godmar, would I fail to tell All that I know?
22650well then, Ten thousand crowns?
22650what can I do then To move you?
22650what white fear Curdled his blood, and how his teeth did dance, His side sink in?
22650what, squire, do you mock me then?
22650when all is said, What could I do but let you go again, Being pitiful woman?
22650while I see the town, What shall I bring for thee?
22650why did I forget You were so beautiful, and good, and true, That you loved me so, Guenevere?
22650why not kill me then outright?
22650why, Peter, I should let My squire Robert beat me, then you would think That you were safe, you know; Eh?
22650why?''
22650will they be cold, I wonder, being so bare, above the sod, Instead of under?
22650will you attack him unawares, And slay him unarm''d?
22650you dare, With hands and fame thus sullied, to go back And take the lady Alice?
22650your jest will be right good If you give in now; carry it too far, And''twill be cruel: not yet?
22396''"O knight,"cried he,"what ill have I done to thee, that thou usest me so evilly?
22396''Ah, but say,''cried Elaine,''where doth my lord lie wounded?''
22396''Ah, my dear son, what was that?''
22396''Ah, my lord,''said La Belle Isoude,''have those two poor souls done more evil than we are doing by hiding our hearts from each other?
22396''Ah,''said his master,''and where got you that?''
22396''Alas, my lord Arthur,''he cried,''what shall become of me if ye are leaving me lonely?''
22396''Alas,''said Arthur,''my own dear father and brother, why kneel ye so to me?''
22396''Alas,''she said half aloud,''am I the cause that this strength, this noble and manly beauty have all lost the fame they once enjoyed?
22396''And Lancelot,''he said, calling to the young man,''have ye no boon to ask of me?''
22396''And do you think I may hope at any time to become a proved knight?''
22396''And shall my dear love go unavenged, because there is no knight here who shall achieve this sword?''
22396''And that is he?''
22396''And what is it to fight?''
22396''And what is that?''
22396''And where couldst thou find this paragon?''
22396''And whither do we ride?''
22396''And who art thou, that thou shouldst save me who am a stranger?''
22396''And who may we be?''
22396''And your name and birthplace-- what are they?''
22396''Are knights then so easy to slay?''
22396''Are they his proper lords?''
22396''Art thou of that caitiff crew of ladies''knights?''
22396''But if I slay your master and his fellow- rebels, whose lands are those the pagans overrun?''
22396''But what knight hatest thou above all other?
22396''But why hate they me?''
22396''But-- but have ye not claimed the prize?''
22396''Can it be that more ruin and wrong is to come than that I suffer now?
22396''Did not any of those knights that thou hast hung cry to thee for mercy?
22396''Didst thou send this meddling priest to Rome to get this?''
22396''Do any dare to suspect her-- do any think in cold blood to see that peerless lady bound to the stake, the flames devouring her noble person?
22396''Do you know aught of her, and in which direction her lands lie?''
22396''Doth any know Sir Caradoc?''
22396''Fair knight,''said the stranger,''will ye of your courtesy tell me where I may quickly come at a knight called Sir Tristram of Lyones?''
22396''Fair lady,''said he,''where dost thou lead this valiant knight?''
22396''Fair sir,''said Sir Geraint,''canst thou tell me who is the owner of this fair valley and that walled city?''
22396''Fair son,''he said, and his barons marvelled at his soft words,''what are ye and whence come ye?''
22396''For whom?''
22396''Governale,''said he,''what wine is this thou hast given us this day?
22396''Have ye three not tried manfully these last two years since ye have sought that which ye now see?
22396''Ho, there, sir knights,''he cried,''or sir wolves-- I know not which ye are-- have ye naught to do but to squeeze poor peasants of mean savings?''
22396''How gat you this sword?''
22396''How knowest thou, hag,''said he,''that I am Perceval?''
22396''How may this be?
22396''How now,''said Sir Gawaine,''who hath tumbled thee, Sir Kay?''
22396''How now?''
22396''I doubt not, then, that they would slay me?''
22396''I marvel who is that knight that hath the red sleeve in his helm?''
22396''I thank you, fair Elaine,''replied the knight,''but I marvel how ye knew my name?''
22396''I?
22396''If I and my host have swept these rebel kings from before me, think you I can not sweep the Saxons from the land?''
22396''If he dieth and sayeth not which he shall name to succeed him,''some asked,''say, Merlin, what''s to be done?''
22396''Is not his name Garlon?''
22396''Is the king''s room backward or forward?''
22396''Is the knight that owneth that shield your love?''
22396''Is this she that is so busy about thee-- is she the lady that men call the Lily Maid of Astolat?''
22396''Is this truth?''
22396''Knowest thou aught of the prize if thou slayest the Knight of the Fountain?''
22396''Lord,''said one of the bishops, he that was head of the great choir or monastery of Amesbury,''can not we make accord between you and your nephew?
22396''Madam,''replied Sir Bors,''what can I do?
22396''Now, sir kitchen knight,''laughed the lady mockingly,''what sayest thou?
22396''O traitors that ye are,''she cried to her brother and to Sir Bors,''why have ye let him go from his bed?
22396''Of what lineage have ye come?''
22396''Oh, my lord, the green knight,''cried the damsel,''why do ye stand so long fighting with that kitchen knave?
22396''Oh, tell me, fair sir, who art thou?
22396''Say, is this thy doing?''
22396''Sir Geraint,''said Gwenevere,''knowest thou the name of that tall knight?''
22396''Sir Knight of the Round Table,''said Sir Gringamor,''tell me who is this brave knight that will not say his name?''
22396''Sir,''said Ector unto Arthur,''will ye be my good and kind lord when ye are king?''
22396''Tell me who slew them?''
22396''Tell me, sir,''said Perceval,''what means this?''
22396''Tell me,''said Perceval,''what is this castle, and what is the doom you speak of?''
22396''The fountain?''
22396''Then I may go to Camelot, to the jousting?''
22396''Then do ye know his name?''
22396''Then if thou art in so sore a pass, thou who wouldst guard my lady till thy death, surely my dear lady is in a worse pass?
22396''Then what is your name?
22396''Think ye,''said the king,''that I am not loath to begin so evil and terrible a thing as civil war?
22396''Thinkest thou I shall crave aught of thee, and be so beholden to thee?''
22396''Thinkest thou I should allow for that knight whom you thrust from his horse but now?
22396''Thinkest thou to frighten us with thy big words?''
22396''Thou art he I seek?
22396''Thou-- thou hast not failed?''
22396''Well, and what wilt thou do now, valiant troll?''
22396''What ails ye, lady?''
22396''What does it profit us that you avoid slaying knights because, though they are now your bitter foes, they were once brothers of the Round Table?
22396''What doest thou here?''
22396''What dost thou mean?''
22396''What fear you, Gareth?''
22396''What have I done?''
22396''What is it, dame?''
22396''What is the name of your lady and of her dominions?''
22396''What is this boy to you?''
22396''What is this place?''
22396''What is this?''
22396''What is thy name, and whence come ye, Sir Black Knight?
22396''What is thy news?''
22396''What is to do, then?
22396''What is your lady sister''s name?''
22396''What is''t you crave?''
22396''What lady is that?''
22396''What mean you, Sir Bedevere?''
22396''What mean you?
22396''What means this?
22396''What needst thou, sir knight?''
22396''What news do you bring, Merlin?''
22396''What profit doth Sir Pinel think to gain from those false tales of her?''
22396''What sawest thou this time?''
22396''What sawest thou?''
22396''What say you, daughter?''
22396''What sayest thou?''
22396''What says my rebellious nephew?''
22396''What should I do,''said Sir Lavaine,''but follow you, unless you drive me from you?''
22396''What strange youth art thou?''
22396''What sword is that which the arm holdeth above the water?
22396''What would ye?''
22396''What would you do?''
22396''What wouldst thou with Arthur, knave?''
22396''What?''
22396''Whence come ye?''
22396''Where am I?''
22396''Where art thou, Lancelot?''
22396''Where is Owen, and Kay?''
22396''Wherefore,''said Perceval,''seeing that the storm beats wildly without and there is room here for many?''
22396''Which of ye have single- handed beaten back the pagan hordes from your lands?
22396''Who am I?''
22396''Who are ye, damsel?''
22396''Who art thou, thou knight in red?''
22396''Who art thou?''
22396''Who hath done evil to you?''
22396''Who is he that is appointed to fight with you or your champion?''
22396''Who is this beggar''s boy that is put forth to shame us kings and nobles?''
22396''Who is yonder knight?''
22396''Why bring ye me to this desolate lake in the wilderness?''
22396''Why didst thou not go with my lord to hunt?''
22396''Why dost thou depart?''
22396''Why doth it seem,''asked Balin,''that this country is the fairest and happiest that ever I saw?''
22396''Why have you put your life in jeopardy thus?''
22396''Why say ye so?''
22396''Why should I give mercy to one so full of pride and arrogance?''
22396''Why shouldst thou do that, fair cousin?''
22396''Why, oh why, did he slay them?''
22396''Why, oh why?''
22396''Why?''
22396''Willingly,''said the king,''but what is your name and whence come you?
22396''Wilt thou go and get them for me for a loan?''
22396''Would it please you, sir,''asked Sir Bernard,''to tell us your name?''
22396''Ye are feared to go, then?''
22396''Yes, in truth,''said Enid,''and who art thou?''
22396''Young sir,''said the latter,''why art thou so thoughtful?''
22396Am I the cause that he hath sunk in sloth, and men scoff at his name and his strength?''
22396And I would ask you, how many times hath Sir Lancelot done noble deeds on our behalf and proved himself the best knight of us all?
22396And all thy labours, thy battling, thy griefs, have they availed aught?
22396And didst thou truly and rightly slay Sir Marhaus?''
22396And dost thou forget the wiles and treachery of thy old lover whom thou hast flouted, Sir Dewin of Castle Cower?
22396And doth the king know of these evil rumours?''
22396And she came to herself again, and Sir Lancelot kissed her, and said:''Fair maid, why fare ye thus?
22396And she cried out piteously in the dark:''O chieftain, whoever thou art, what renown wilt thou gain by slaying a dead man?''
22396And when she came to her senses again she sighed and said:''My lord, Sir Lancelot, alas, why are ye in so sad a plight?''
22396And why?''
22396And will ye not take this combat upon ye for my sake?
22396And will you keep the shield which is mine own against the time when I shall return?
22396Are ye so grateful, then, or is it that ye have been captive unto men, and are fain to see one in this desolate waste?''
22396Are ye then more fearful of this marsh robber than of me your king?''
22396Art thou a match for these two knights, or wilt thou not turn back?''
22396At this shameful sight Beaumains checked his horse and asked:''What means this?''
22396Balin also sank to the ground, faint with his wounds, and as he lay he cried out:''What knight art thou?
22396Beaumains, do ye not know me?''
22396But first I would ask, why went that knight and the lady and the dwarf just now into the town, and why is there so much furbishing of arms there?''
22396But tell me now which of these knights is Arthur?''
22396But thou wilt of thy worship bury this fair maid, Sir Lancelot?''
22396But what is your husband''s name?''
22396Can not we make an end of it?''
22396Dear son, dost thou desire to ride forth into the world?''
22396Did he not rescue twenty of us from the dungeons of Sir Turquine?
22396Do they avoid ye, and seek not to slay you and us your kindred and friends?
22396Dost thou think to ride with me?''
22396For did it not often go to my heart to see thee pine for gentle speech and affection, and sorrow at the harsh words thou didst suffer?
22396For if this be not done, dost thou know what is the penalty?''
22396For surely from your talk you must be one of those prating and soft fools of the Round Table?''
22396Hath he not avenged shame upon the king and the queen, and the fame of the Round Table many a time?
22396Hath he not sworn to take thee and thy kingdom, sooner or later, by fair means or by foul?
22396He shook his lance at the men over the gate, and cried:''Where art thou, false traitor, Sir Lancelot?
22396How came they and their host into Britain, and we not know it, alas?''
22396How say ye?''
22396I think you are her sister, Dame Linet?''
22396Is it not your desire that your son Arthur shall take the kingdom after you, with your blessing?''
22396Looking up to Sir Lancelot, he cried in a fierce voice:''Cousin, shall I make an end of this war?
22396Marvelling, the king asked,''Damsel, for what cause are ye girded with that sword?''
22396Must I go away then, thinking she cares more for a name and noble lineage than for brave deeds and devotion?
22396Now, will ye promise to free my father?''
22396O holy bishop and spirit, say not that it means that this land shall be rent in ruin and given up to heathendom again?''
22396Say, are ye some starveling knight''s brat, or what are ye?''
22396She spurred her horse eagerly, and rode towards Sir Lavaine, crying with a loud voice:''Lavaine, Lavaine, tell me how is my lord, Sir Lancelot?''
22396Tell me who art thou?''
22396Tell me, Sir Gringamor, is this the will of the Lady Lyones?''
22396Tell me, damsel, what evil hath befallen her, and how I may avenge it instantly?''
22396The foremost checked his horse beside Perceval, and said:''Tell me, good soul, sawest thou a knight pass this way either this day or yesterday?''
22396The stranger stopped his horse, and called out:''O Heaven, is it my lord, Sir Geraint?''
22396Then the bishop said to Galahad:''Son, knowest thou what is this vessel I hold in my hands?''
22396Therefore, fair lords, what counsel do ye give?''
22396Therefore, lord, will you wear a token of mine in your helm for good fortune?''
22396They talked of other things for a while, and then said Sir Owen:''Hath thy mistress a suit of armour, and a destrier in her possession?''
22396What have ye done to deserve knighthood?''
22396What is it I should do?''
22396What is your news?''
22396What mean you by that?''
22396What pity and what mercy didst thou give them?
22396What say ye, my lords?''
22396What trickery is this?''
22396When the stranger had come up to him, he said:''Tell me, fair sir, is it by presumption or by ignorance that thou comest armed along this road?''
22396When the white knight saw him he called out:''Who art thou?
22396Where be they?''
22396Where is he?
22396Where is my young brother, Sir Gareth?''
22396Which of ye can match King Lot for subtlety and craft, or the great Uriens of Reged for wisdom in war?''
22396While he was as yet six spear- lengths from him the knight of the Round Table cried unto him:''Young knight, Sir Tristram, what doest thou here?
22396Whither goest thou this night?''
22396Who are ye, fair damsel, in such painful guise?''
22396Who are you?''
22396Why dost thou hide thyself within holes and walls like a coward?
22396Why dost thou warn one whom thou dost despise?''
22396Why, man, knowest thou of whom thou pratest?
22396Will this loose thy secret, carrion?''
22396Wilt thou not have a company with thee?''
22396Wilt thou not try to speak to my lord?
22396Wouldst thou have thy pretty white armour charred and blackened and thyself killed by my dragon''s power?''
22396asked the king,''and where doth she dwell, and tell me who is he that doth besiege her?''
22396cried Elaine,''what is his hurt?
22396cried King Lot, fiercely striding towards the tall ecclesiastic,''what wizard''s brat are you foisting upon us here to draw the sword by magic?''
22396cried Sir Owen,''what do you there, tall youth?''
22396cried the king, and looked behind him,''where are all my noble knights?''
22396cried the king, and the knights about him were full of pity at the sudden grief that came into his voice and his looks,''is this true?
22396cried the knight in a horrible voice,''what dost thou here?
22396laughed Sir Lancelot,''and I am the first thou hast met whose love thou wouldst liefer have than my hatred?
22396said Geraint,''how is it you and yours have lost them?''
22396said the king with fierce anger,''within a few miles of this my justice- seat doth such tyranny rule unchecked, and ye tell me naught of it?
22396said the king,''and for what reason?''
22396she cried;''will you give me a kitchen scullion to aid me?''
22396where is your great heart?
31900Alas, can this be so? 31900 Alas, fair lady,"said Beaumains,"is this all I have deserved of you?
31900Am I not right? 31900 And what means all this wondrous thing?"
31900And who is the knight?
31900Are there any adventures to be found in this country?
31900Are you a man?
31900Are you and my nephew, your son, joined with her in this work of treachery? 31900 Are you hungry?"
31900But I pray you to tell me your name, and from what court you come?
31900But how can you know that I shall die in battle?
31900But how is it with the Lady Lioness, to whom you vowed your love?
31900But since you promise me your friendship, tell me what knight it is you hate so deeply?
31900But, since you foresee so fully what is coming upon you, why not provide for it, and by your craft overcome it?
31900By whom?
31900Can I trust you? 31900 Can no one find Tristram?
31900Damsel,said the king in wonder,"why wear you that sword?
31900Did any of you know him?
31900Did she look like me?
31900Did you note him?
31900Do you fancy that I esteem you any the nobler for having killed a few churls? 31900 Do you not know me?"
31900Do you put the matter into my hands?
31900Do you think you could have loved her so well?
31900Do you want any more service of me?
31900Fair lady,he said,"what sword is it that yonder arm holds so strangely above the water?
31900Fair sir,said Gawaine,"whither ride you with that damsel?"
31900False woman, why have you led me into this?
31900For what cause?
31900For whom?
31900Gramercy,said Beaumains,"will you always take me for a coward?
31900Has he not slain your father and mother?
31900Has the vessel been blown here by a wind of magic? 31900 How came you here, that you know not the cause?"
31900How came you in battle with these ten dastards?
31900How can any lady love such a man as you? 31900 How can you know that?
31900How could I know that such dread disaster dwelt within that spear? 31900 How could she?
31900How dare you follow me?
31900How fare you?
31900How is it, sir knight,asked the king, sternly,"that you abide here and force every knight that passes to joust with you?
31900How know you that to be so?
31900How like you my boy of the kitchen?
31900How now?
31900How shall we know the king?
31900How should a boy of your years know my father?
31900How so, my noble lord?
31900I can trust you to meet me at the place appointed?
31900I?
31900Is it Sir Lancelot?
31900Is it not better to fight than to fly?
31900Is it so?
31900Is this the truth?
31900Is this, then, your answer,said Morgan,"that you disdain our love?"
31900Isolde,he cried, pitifully,"what mean these letters,--this which Kehydius has written you, and this, your answer, with its vile tale of love?
31900Madam,asked Gareth,"what is your lord''s name?"
31900My Lord Persant of India,said Linet,"will you not make this gentleman a knight before he meets this dread warrior?"
31900My dear father and brother,cried Arthur in surprise and distress,"why kneel you to me?
31900Not for seven years have I been so sleepy as I am now?
31900Now tell me how far I am from Camelot?
31900Now tell me,he asked,"how came you in this direful state?"
31900Now will you send for a priest,asked Balan,"that we may receive the sacrament?"
31900Now, fair lady, what say you?
31900Of what do you complain?
31900Say you so? 31900 Say you so?
31900Shall I have my dwarf?
31900Sir, may I speak with you in private?
31900Sir, will you grant me a gift?
31900Sir,he said to the king,"will you give me a gift?"
31900Sir,said Hector,"will you be my good and gracious lord when you are king?"
31900Sir,said, the damsel to Gawaine,"why helped you not that good knight?"
31900Tell me this also, sir knight,he asked,"from whom had you this sword?"
31900Tell me who, and of what court, you are, my good friend?
31900Then can I trust in your help on Tuesday next?
31900Then how got he that armor?
31900Then where can I obtain shelter and rest?
31900Then who are you?
31900Then why ask it at all?
31900Then you think I may prove myself a worthy knight?
31900This is a fair shield,said Tristram;"but what signifies the device?"
31900To what intent?
31900Was it Sir Tristram?
31900Well, what now?
31900Were there no knights about it?
31900What Cornish knight is this?
31900What are you about to do with that knight?
31900What cognizance does he bear?
31900What could we do?
31900What damsel is that?
31900What do you advise?
31900What do you propose to do?
31900What does this mean?
31900What has happened to Lancelot?
31900What have I done?
31900What have you done, Merlin?
31900What have you to say?
31900What is his name?
31900What is that?
31900What is the reason of this?
31900What is thy name?
31900What is your name?
31900What is your name?
31900What knight is that?
31900What knight is that?
31900What knight is this who fights so well?
31900What knight may he be?
31900What mean you?
31900What means this sorrowful sight?
31900What misfortune has befallen me?
31900What noise is that within the castle?
31900What of my dear lady, La Belle Isolde?
31900What place is this, and who are ye that bewail so bitterly?
31900What royal blood can he claim? 31900 What say you of this knight, who with one spear has felled us all?"
31900What say you to this?
31900What shall be done?
31900What shall we do?
31900What shall we do?
31900What shame is this?
31900What shield did he bear?
31900What then shall we do?
31900What tidings have you?
31900What treason is this?
31900What was your husband''s name?
31900What will you do now?
31900What would you do if you had him?
31900What would you do?
31900What would you have?
31900What, nephew,said the king,"is the wind in that door?
31900When and how did you obtain it?
31900When shall we to the field?
31900Where are my knights and men?
31900Where had you this adventure?
31900Where is he?
31900Where is he?
31900Where is my knight?
31900Where is my lady now?
31900Where is the lady who should meet us here?
31900Where is the sword with which this youth shall be made knight?
31900Where shall I find him?
31900Where shall I find you again?
31900Where?
31900Wherefore I?
31900Which like you the better, the sword or the scabbard?
31900Which of you knights has done this foul deed?
31900Whither do you lead this knight?
31900Whither do you ride?
31900Who are you that holds me so tightly?
31900Who are you, and of what country?
31900Who are you, and what claim has your son to this high honor?
31900Who are you, and whence come you?
31900Who are you,asked Gareth,"that one minute fight me so strongly and yield the next?"
31900Who are you,said Arthur,"that tell me these things?"
31900Who are you?
31900Who has the right to hinder?
31900Who hurt you so badly?
31900Who is he?
31900Who is it that speaks?
31900Who is this boy?
31900Who is your brother?
31900Who is your lady, and where does she dwell? 31900 Who made you knight, that you let such a lad match you, as the weed overgrows the corn?"
31900Who told you that, churl?
31900Who won you?
31900Who, then, is the knight with whom I shall fight? 31900 Why are there two seats lacking?"
31900Why are you so sad?
31900Why came you into my bed?
31900Why comes he then in knightly guise? 31900 Why deal you such despite to this noble warrior?"
31900Why do you ask?
31900Why do you do this despite to the shield?
31900Why do you withdraw, Knight of the Round Table?
31900Why does a knight of such prowess as this suffer himself to be so vilely treated?
31900Why have you dared treat thus a lady to whom I was beholden, and who came here under my safe- conduct?
31900Why made you this promise, my lady?
31900Why not remain to greet your brother on his return? 31900 Why not?
31900Why saved you not this lady?
31900Why should I do so, churl?
31900Why should I not, if I wish?
31900Why should I not?
31900Why should I?
31900Why should every traveller be forced to fight?
31900Why should we tell you that?
31900Why should you have it, after the shameful death you have given to so many knights?
31900Why, in the devil''s name, came I here in your company?
31900Will you be my warrant if I go with you?
31900Will you face yonder knights, or turn back?
31900Will you go with me to my lodging?
31900Will you tell me what knight you are?
31900Will you, fair damsel, bear word to him?
31900Would I not? 31900 Would I so?"
31900Would you have me shamed?
31900You fiend, what would you do?
31900You hate Sir Tristram, then? 31900 You will keep my secret?"
31900You, my father, and your good lady, my mother,--to whom else in all the world am I so beholden?
31900After they had parted she turned to Beaumains, and said, despitefully,--"Why wilt thou follow me, lackey of the kitchen?
31900Alas, why live I so long?"
31900And what do you in such foul company?"
31900And what is the name of the man who besieges her?"
31900And, fair sir, I pray you tell me your name?"
31900Are you here to joust with me?"
31900As he came nigh, he asked the damsel,--"Is that my brother, the black knight, who rides with you?"
31900Balin, after looking carefully round him, asked a guest,--"Is there not a knight in this good company named Garlon?"
31900But what is your name?"
31900But what shall now be done?
31900By what adventure came you hither?"
31900Can you not find food enough for your sword, without coming so near home?"
31900Can you put it back again?"
31900Do you think that will trouble him much, and that he is not able to withstand your malice?"
31900From what court have you been sent?"
31900Have I fought thus against the man I love best in the world?"
31900Have I your promise?"
31900Have you brought this knight from King Arthur''s court to be your champion?"
31900Have you not been at the court of King Arthur?"
31900He courteously returned her salute, and said,--"Fair damsel, know you of any adventures that may be had in this land?"
31900Hearing this outcry, Balin turned fiercely, and demanded,--"What do you wish, sir knight?
31900How got you it, boy?"
31900I think, fair damsel, you are her sister, Linet?"
31900If I had meat in Arthur''s kitchen, what odds?
31900Is there any one woman that you love beyond others?"
31900Is this King Arthur''s way of rescuing a lady in distress?
31900Is this shameful death my reward for my services to your country?
31900Now, fair knight, will you tell me your name?"
31900On reaching the island shore he met a damsel, who said in sorrowful accents,--"O Knight Balin, why have you left your own shield?
31900Once I fell into fellowship with Lancelot as I have now with you, and what followed?
31900Shall we and the realm of England be shamed by being governed by a base- born churl?
31900Shall we treat with Arthur, or is it wise to fight him with half an army?"
31900Sir knight, will you stand with me, and unmask the malice of these thirty ambushed rogues?"
31900The red knight ran forward to his fallen foe, but Linet cried loudly,--"Oh, Beaumains, where is thy valor gone?
31900Then came Merlin into the press of struggling knights, mounted on a great black horse, and cried to Arthur,--"Wilt thou never have done?
31900These crafts and enchantments that have happened-- are they of her making?"
31900This done, he mounted and took his shield, and then said,--"Where is this knight with whom I have to fight?
31900This, then, is Garlon?
31900To kill my father thus!--in his slumber!--what foul device is this?"
31900Was there aught strange in that?
31900What do you in these marshes?"
31900What has befallen me that I love him now with my whole soul?"
31900What have you done to the dear son who was my joy and bliss?"
31900What is the name of this knight?"
31900What knights were they?"
31900What would you ask?"
31900What would you have of me?
31900When saw you my lady queen?"
31900Who among you all was ready to meet Sir Marhaus, or to cope with Palamides?
31900Who are you, fellow?
31900Who was he that lay within the bed, and what does this strange thing portend?"
31900Why came you hither of yourself?"
31900Why did you not hold him when you had him in your hands?
31900and where in the wide world have you come from?"
31900can that be?"
31900cried Balin,"has that treacherous dog been at his murderous work again?
31900cried Tristram;"you will fight me on so small a cause?
31900cried the damsel,"shall such a knave have service of thee and thirty knights?"
31900he said,"why did I let myself be beguiled?
31900know you me not?"
31900said the duke,"are you that proud knight who proffered to fight with any of my followers?
31900said the green knight,"you would not let me die when you can save my life with a word?
31900said the queen,"shall I live to see my son a man of such prowess?"
31900who could this strong fellow have been?"
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?
32292Ah, my lord Arthur,he cried,"what shall become of me, now that you go from me and leave me here alone among my enemies?"
32292Alas, what mean you?
32292Am I not a woman, with a woman''s heart and feelings? 32292 Am I not fair and lovely, and worthy the love of the best of knights?
32292Am I, who was called one of the handsomest knights in the world, wasted to such a frightful figure? 32292 And are not you a lover?"
32292And for an accident of the tournament? 32292 And what knight hate you most?"
32292And why came you hither?
32292And why should I not pass the water?
32292And would have me as your fool, mayhap? 32292 And you let him escape?
32292Are you a priest?
32292Are you able to repeat yesterday''s work?
32292Are you my lord, Sir Tristram?
32292Are you the two brethren Helius and Helake, who slew your king by treason?
32292But tell me this, Palamides: how is it that so good a knight as you refuses to be christened, as your brothers have long been?
32292But what can I do? 32292 But what remedy have we?"
32292But where is he who has wounded you?
32292By my halidom,cried Mark,"whom can I trust?
32292By what name shall we call this sword?
32292By what people?
32292Can I not?
32292Can it be? 32292 Comes this desire from himself?"
32292Damsel, why say you this?
32292Did I stir up your sleeping spirit?
32292Did not the noble Sir Tristram, with your good will, keep La Belle Isolde three years in Joyous Gard, against the malice of King Mark?
32292Did she ever show you signs of love?
32292Did they so, Gawaine? 32292 Do you design to ride everywhere under a mask?
32292Do you fancy you can rob me of my prize so lightly? 32292 Do you know him?"
32292Do you mean that as a challenge?
32292Fair nephew,asked the king,"who are these ladies?"
32292Fair sir,asked King Mark,"what is your name?"
32292Fair sir,said the king,"what is the cause that you withhold your name?"
32292Fair sirs, why make you such a moaning?
32292Fair sirs,said Tristram,"is this courtesy, to come upon us thus armed at our meal?"
32292Fight, will you? 32292 First, tell me your name?"
32292From whom has he sprung?
32292God keep you,said the old man;"whence come you?"
32292Good sirs,he said,"could I, or any knight of worship in this land, hesitate to rescue from an ignoble death such a knight as Palamides?
32292Have I ever seen you before?
32292Have I not?
32292Have you eaten lately?
32292Have you met with Lancelot?
32292Honor does, eh? 32292 How came this knight by his death?"
32292How cometh it,said the king,"that you can not keep Lancelot by your side?
32292How feel you?
32292How is this?
32292How is this?
32292How long is this to last?
32292How now, is there a new deal in the game? 32292 How now?"
32292How shall I do that? 32292 How should I know it any more than you knew me?
32292I was not there; who won the prize?
32292In the name of God, what means it?
32292Is he hurt? 32292 Is it Lancelot or any of his blood?"
32292Is it a time for mourning?
32292Is it not as I told you?
32292Is it so?
32292Is it wise for you to ride in this realm?
32292Is not your life worth more than hers?
32292Is that his soreness and weariness?
32292Is that you, Palamides?
32292Is that your last word, sirrahs? 32292 Is the duke''s daughter still here?"
32292Is the owner of this shield your love?
32292Is there any armor in your chamber?
32292Is there any shame in a nephew showing an open affection for his uncle''s wife?
32292Is there bad blood between you brethren?
32292Is this one of his old tricks?
32292Knew you her not?
32292Know I it not? 32292 Know you me not?"
32292Know you not that women are hasty to act, and quick to repent? 32292 Lamorak of Wales?"
32292Like you not my meat?
32292Lord,they replied,"wilt thou vouchsafe also to call us thy sinners?
32292Madam,said the damsel,"shall he stay here all night?"
32292Madman, would you kill your brother, the worthiest knight of our brotherhood? 32292 Master mariners,"he asked of those on board the vessel,"what does this strange thing signify?"
32292My fair sirs,he asked,"has a knight passed here bearing a shield with a case of red over it?"
32292My lady, the queen,cried Gawaine in anger,"what thing is this we see?
32292Now, I pray you,said Isolde,"will you not do me the grace to fight for my love with three knights that have done me great wrong?
32292Of what lineage is he?
32292Oh, man of evil hope and weak belief,came the mysterious voice,"trust you more in your armor than in your Maker?
32292Or will you, like a good knight, revenge me?
32292Percivale,said the lady,"know you who I am?"
32292Say you so? 32292 Shall I bear this?"
32292Shall I harbor a man who openly makes love to my wife and queen?
32292Shall it be in love or in anger?
32292Shall not these good knights go also?
32292Shall we see the queen of our great lord King Arthur brought to shame?
32292Sir Percivale,said she,"know you who I am?"
32292Sir knight, do you truly desire to do battle for the queen?
32292Sir knight, what seek you here?
32292Sir knight, what seek you here?
32292Sir knight,asked Berrant,"whence had you that helm?"
32292Sir knight,he asked,"what seek you?"
32292Sir knights,he said,"whither take you that gentleman?
32292Sir, mine host,said Tristram, on seeing this threatening aspect,"what is wrong with you, I pray?"
32292Sirs,said Galahad,"what adventure brought you hither?"
32292So this traitor Meliagrance chooses first to kidnap my queen, and then to accuse her of treason?
32292The sword is here,said Galahad;"but where shall be found the maiden who is to make the new girdle?"
32292Then, sir, can you tell me what my dream signifies?
32292Think you that Lancelot du Lake needs to be come at like a rabbit in its hutch? 32292 To his death, you say?"
32292To what intent do you meddle, sir knight?
32292To whom in the world do we owe more?
32292Traitor knight,cried Guenever,"what seek you to do?
32292Were I here naked of armor, and you full armed as I am, what would you do?
32292What amends wish you?
32292What are they?
32292What brought you into this wilderness?
32292What claim has he to it?
32292What could I do?
32292What did I tell you?
32292What does this mean?
32292What else could Lancelot do?
32292What has this knight done that deserves a shameful death? 32292 What have I done?
32292What have I done? 32292 What have you seen?"
32292What hound sent you into this land to insult me with your scurrilous songs?
32292What is his name?
32292What is his name?
32292What is this?
32292What is this?
32292What is this?
32292What is your name, gentle sir?
32292What is your name?
32292What knight is that in green?
32292What knight is this?
32292What knight was he with the shield of silver that held you so short?
32292What knowledge have you of him? 32292 What makes you so warlike?
32292What manner of man is he? 32292 What marvellous thing is this?"
32292What may all this mean?
32292What means the blast?
32292What means this noise?
32292What means this woful noise? 32292 What means this?"
32292What means this?
32292What means this?
32292What means this?
32292What noise is this, Sir Lucan?
32292What party is it best for us to join to- morrow?
32292What saw you there?
32292What sawest thou there?
32292What shall I do? 32292 What shall I tell him is your name?"
32292What the fiend has ailed you to- day?
32292What then? 32292 What will you do?"
32292What would you do?
32292What would you have me do?
32292What would you have me do?
32292What would you say?
32292Whence come you?
32292Whence comes this ship?
32292Whence get you the right to close the way?
32292Whence, come you, and what name do you bear?
32292Where art thou, traitor?
32292Where is Lancelot?
32292Where is your champion?
32292Wherefore?
32292Whither I will?
32292Who are they that call?
32292Who are those knights that are lodged in Joyous Gard?
32292Who are you,asked Percivale,"that proffer me so great a kindness?"
32292Who are you?
32292Who are you?
32292Who are you?
32292Who but he rescued you both when held in prison by Sir Turquine? 32292 Who can he be?"
32292Who can sleep in such a den of witchcraft as this?
32292Who can this wonderful fighter be?
32292Who is he?
32292Who is it?
32292Who is that?
32292Who is this Pridam le Noire?
32292Who is this champion?
32292Who is your lord?
32292Who lies now? 32292 Who taught you my name?"
32292Who told you, sister, that my lord''s name was Lancelot?
32292Who was that?
32292Who was this mighty champion? 32292 Who will joust with me?"
32292Who would dispute that?
32292Why are you so moved, Lancelot?
32292Why did you let him leave his bed? 32292 Why did you not bring him with you?"
32292Why did you put your life thus in jeopardy?
32292Why did you wake me?
32292Why do you grieve?
32292Why do you this?
32292Why do you withdraw?
32292Why hang you your head so like a whipped hound?
32292Why have you wakened me?
32292Why left you me not to my blessed visions?
32292Why mourn you so, fair knight?
32292Why not to- night?
32292Why say you so?
32292Why say you this nephew? 32292 Why say you this?"
32292Why seek you to slay him?
32292Why should I not be?
32292Why should I turn?
32292Why should I?
32292Why should you spare your foes?
32292Why should you?
32292Why so long a time?
32292Why so?
32292Why were you against us?
32292Why, sir,said Isolde,"can it be that you are a knight and no lover?
32292Will you hinder me?
32292Will you kindly tell me your name?
32292Will you not dismount and join us?
32292Will you play the coward?
32292Will you promise me this, on your faith?
32292Will you tell me your name, sir knight?
32292Will you?
32292With which party do you hold?
32292With whom shall I fight?
32292Would you?
32292You do not mean to keep this foolish promise, Lancelot?
32292You know him then?
32292''Where shall the shield await his coming?''
32292( might champion?)
3229212- Added missing punctuation"?"
32292281-"Turquin"to"Turquine"( 2)( by Sir Turquine?)
32292316- Removed extra enquote( what will you do?)
32292Am I the man to deny her request because there are foul- mouthed slanderers abroad?"
32292And are you so lost to honor as to slay any knight thus lying insensible?"
32292And his hurt-- who gave it?
32292As for forgiving you, what else can I do, my queen?
32292As they stood talking, Sir Lavaine rode furiously in at the gate, crying,--"Where is my lord, Sir Lancelot du Lake?"
32292Beside him sat the good man, who asked him,--"How hast thou done since I departed?"
32292But Gawaine, who sat with lowering brow, now broke out in hot speech,--"My lord, my uncle, what will you do?
32292But how know you that I shall ever sit there?"
32292But if I rescue her, where shall I keep her?"
32292But not far had he ridden when a knight came after him, who said,--"Sir knight, why have you taken that crown?
32292But one of the knights observed the new- comers closely, and said secretly to his fellows,--"Know you not this man?
32292But what''s to do?"
32292But where are my brothers?
32292But where is Lancelot?"
32292But, recreant knight, what cause had you to slay my brother Gareth, who loved you with his whole soul?"
32292Can I help you further?"
32292Can this be so?
32292Come forth, traitor, that I may revenge on thy body the death of my three brothers?"
32292Dare you repeat this story?"
32292Dare you tell me so?"
32292Do you dare rail thus at me?"
32292Do you deem that I am a coward, or that the queen is my mistress, as the evil- tongued say?
32292Does He who brought you here need a sword for your protection?"
32292Great was the joy between these noble knights, and Tristram said,--"Will you abide in these marches, Sir Percivale?
32292Had I not better keep it for myself?"
32292Had not the might of God been with me, think you that I could, unarmed, have prevailed over fourteen armed knights?
32292Has this good knight taken on himself the death that was intended to be mine?"
32292Her sorrow touched Bors, who asked,--"What means this, madam?"
32292Here is this tournament,--what part shall we play here?
32292How came Lancelot to slay these knights, who both loved him devotedly?"
32292How will you acquit yourself of treachery?"
32292Is Gareth slain?
32292Is he slain?"
32292Is it really perilous?"
32292Is not this an evil reward?"
32292Is this maiden, who is so busy about you, she whom they call the lily of Astolat?"
32292Is this the thing to bear like a lamb?"
32292Madam, what shall I think?
32292My castle is near by; will you not ride there with me as a safeguard?"
32292Near the midnight hour he suddenly awakened, and saw in the road before him a woman, who said,--"Sir Percivale, what do you here?"
32292Not Lancelot or Tristram?"
32292Now, sir, will you tell me what knight you are, and if you are of the Round Table fellowship?"
32292Or what proud knight is here that dare break a spear with me?"
32292Quickly leaping from his horse, he drew his sword, and said,--"Shall I make an end of this war?"
32292Shall this be done, and we basely submit?"
32292Shall we cower in our tents while others fight our battles?"
32292Shall we enter and see?"
32292Shall we not fight in it?"
32292She called loudly to him, and when he came up asked him,--"How does my lord, Sir Lancelot?"
32292Should he ride back for his armor, or go on as he was?
32292Sir Tristram, why came you here disguised?
32292That you will fight for me to the death, I know, but wherefore should you?"
32292The other saluted him in turn, and asked,--"What is your name?
32292The year and day have come, but where and who is the man?
32292Then Tristram cried out in fury,--"Coward knight, why stand you thus idly?
32292Then he cried loudly at the entrance,--"Where are you, Tristram of Lyonesse?"
32292Then he said to his companion,--"Can you tell me of some chapel, where I may bury this body?"
32292There now came to Mordred the bishop of Canterbury, who said,--"Sir, what would you do?
32292Think you I shall lightly forgive this?"
32292Was this the fellow that professed cowardice and begged protection?
32292What do you propose to do with those great spears that your squire carries?"
32292What have you to say to it?"
32292What say you, my lords?"
32292What say you?
32292When he spoke of Dinadan, she asked,--"Was it not he that made the song about King Mark?"
32292When shall we do battle?"
32292Which, think you, was your greater duty?"
32292Whither take you her?"
32292Who has done you this harm?"
32292Who is he?"
32292Who is it that has disinherited you?"
32292Who killed him?"
32292Who would have thought that thou, whom I held dear, and who art named a noble knight, would betray his king for the jewels of a sword?
32292Why come you here seeking to lay your own fault on me?
32292Why did you not let me sleep out the balance of it, friend Tristram?"
32292Why did you this?
32292Why gave you not this advice sooner?"
32292Why hear I not of them?"
32292Why hidest thou within walls and holes like a coward?
32292Will you let me die without lifting your hand?"
32292Will you sit there and see me perish?"
32292Will you thus bind yourself, as you are a true knight?"
32292Will you turn again after having come so far?
32292Would you displease God and shame knighthood by wedding the wife of your uncle, who has been to you as a father?
32292Would you know more?"
32292Would you, Sir Bevidere, for a shining blade, bring death and ruin to your king?"
32292Wouldst thou, a king''s son, and a knight of the Round Table, seek to dishonor the noble king who made you what you are?
32292and how came you to know him?"
32292and what sign does he bear?"
32292asked Galahad,"will you all assail me at once?"
32292both?
32292cried the king,"where are all my noble knights?
32292cried the queen,"what vile plot is this?
32292dear brother, why have you tarried so long from me?"
32292has he done this thing?"
32292how long will you hide behind your castle walls, like a rat in his hole?"
32292is that so?
32292said Lancelot,"or do you think to slay me where I stand?
32292said the king,"is that the game?
32292shall we take her from them?"
32292she cried,"how dare you thrust yourself into this goodly company?
32292she said,"must I plead for your love in vain?"
32292then you are Galahad?"
32292they cried,"is it you?"
32292was it Palamides?"
32292where has he learned the art of turning my weapons on myself?"
32292who may trust this world?"
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?
750Ah, damsel,saith Lancelot,"Which is the way to the castle whereof you speak?"
750And can you tell me where I may find him?
750And how is this ground all caved in about the castle?
750And how nigh is this to the sea?
750And how, then, do you defend yourselves?
750And is the knight healed, then?
750And know you no tidings of Messire Gawain?
750And know you who is the knight?
750And one might carry her off,saith Perceval,"would he not do well therein?"
750And see you not,saith the knight,"that it is a castle of joy?"
750And the King,saith Briant,"Is he repaired thither?"
750And the damsel of the Car, Sir, have you seen her?
750And what is that to you?
750And what is the King''s name, damsel?
750And what is your name?
750And what is your name?
750And what is your name?
750And what name hath he?
750And what name hath he?
750And what name hath your lord, fair friend?
750And what shield beareth he?
750And what sort of knight is he?
750And what tidings?
750And where is he?
750And where is your lord?
750And where then, is he, may I know?
750And wherefore do you ask?
750And wherefore hath he hanged them in such wise?
750And wherefore will you take him there?
750And whither shall you ride this day?
750And whither, then, mean you to take her?
750And who careth,saith the damsel,"for his good beginning when the end is bad?
750And who is the knight?
750And who is the one of the sea?
750And who is your lord?
750And who ought of right to avenge him?
750And who shall repay her,saith Perceval,"for the shame that you have done her, for her knights that you have slain, whereof never had you pity?
750And who slew him, damsel?
750And whose man are you, Sir knight?
750And why are these heads hanging at this door?
750And you, Messire Gawain?
750And you,saith she,"What will you do?
750Are they ever so far away?
750Are you the son of Yglais my sister, that was his wife?
750Arthur? 750 Be there other knights in your country that bear such arms as your shield and his besides you and he?"
750But you? 750 Can you tell me tidings of him?"
750Carried she still her arm slung at her neck?
750Clamados,saith the Queen,"Hear you then not that which this knight saith?"
750Clamados,saith the Queen,"Hear you what this knight saith?"
750Damsel, is this your pleasure also?
750Damsel,said Meliot,"When was this knight killed?"
750Damsel,saith Lancelot,"What hurt doth it you of this that I have?"
750Damsel,saith Lancelot,"Who slew this knight?"
750Damsel,saith Messire Gawain,"Lord God guide you, whither away so fast?"
750Damsel,saith Messire Gawain,"What would you do herein?"
750Damsel,saith Messire Gawain,"Wherefore doth not this damsel that goeth afoot mount upon the car?"
750Damsel,saith Messire Gawain,"Whither go you?"
750Damsel,saith Messire Gawain,"Who lieth in this bier?"
750Damsel,saith Perceval,"Where is the Knight of the Dragon?"
750Damsel,saith he,"Are you a thing on God''s behalf?"
750Damsel,saith he,"Did Messire Gawain know him?"
750Damsel,saith he,"What would you gain of knowing my name?"
750Damsel,saith he,"Wherefore are you so sorrowful?"
750Damsel,saith the Hermit,"How seemeth you?"
750Damsel,saith the King,"And who is the knight?"
750Damsel,saith the King,"Have many knights passed thereby sithence that the coffin was set there?"
750Damsel,saith the King,"How shall it be known who the knight was?"
750Damsel,saith the King,"Is there no hold in this launde?"
750Damsel,saith the King,"Sore pity is it and it be so as you say; and I pray you tell me who is the King?"
750Damsel,saith the knight,"Whence come you?"
750Did he better than Messire Gawain?
750Did you meet,saith she,"a knight and a damsel on your way?"
750Did your father, then, bear a red shield with a white hart?
750Do knights, then, pay toll here?
750Doth the King, then, live no longer?
750Fair Lord God,saith she,"Is he there within through whom I am to escape from this great dolour?"
750Fair Lord God,saith she,"what shall I do?
750Fair Sir,saith Lancelot,"So gentle are you and so well nurtured, how cometh it that you take your death so graciously?
750Fair Sir,saith Perceval,"Is this damsel of your company?"
750Fair Sir,saith Perceval,"Know you who slew him?"
750Fair Sir,saith the Hermit,"And you, who are you?"
750Fair friendsaith Messire Gawain,"How is this that it raineth upon me on this side the river, but on the other raineth it not at all?"
750Fair friend,saith Messire Gawain,"What name hath the lord of the hold?"
750Fair friend,saith Messire Gawain,"Whence come you?"
750Fair nephew,saith she,"Are you badly wounded?"
750Fair sir, are you he?
750Fair sir,saith the burgess,"Whither are you bound to go?"
750Fair sweet friend, what is this castle here, sir?
750Fair sweet friend,saith Messire Gawain,"Whither go you?"
750Fair sweet friend,saith Messire Gawain,"you may say your pleasure, but tell me is there no hold in this forest wherein I may harbour me the night?"
750For what intent, damsel?
750For what?
750From what land hath come such manner of man?
750Galobruns,saith Perceval,"Now may you do your pleasure of your enemy?"
750Good adventure to you also,saith the good man,"What is your pleasure?"
750Ha, God,saith King Arthur,"What folk be these?"
750Ha, God,saith she,"Shall I never see none that may avenge me of this evildoer that slayeth my men and destroyeth my land on this wise?"
750Ha, Lancelot,saith the Lady,"Love you other than me?"
750Ha, Sir Knight,saith Perceval,"What ask you of these two damsels that you entreat so churlishly?"
750Ha, Sir, can you tell me tidings of a knight that beareth a green shield such as I bear? 750 Ha, Sir, then is the King Hermit your father?"
750Ha, Sir,saith Lancelot,"Have you then been there?"
750Ha, Sir,saith the knight of the white arms,"Is your name Messire Gawain?"
750Ha, Sir,saith the knight,"Do you tell me true?"
750Ha, Sir,saith the knight,"Know you then any tidings of him?"
750Ha, damsel, and what do you here at this hour?
750Ha, damsel,saith he,"Who slew these knights so foully?"
750Ha, for God''s sake,saith Meliot,"What doth Messire Gawain?
750Ha,saith she,"Is this then the son of the Widow Lady?"
750Ha,saith the King,"Is it then a dream?"
750Hath he danger of death?
750Have you nought to do with King Arthur?
750Have you seen Perceval, the Good Knight that took the shield in King Arthur''s court and left another there?
750Hold, Sir,saith Lancelot,"What is this you tell me?"
750How in my service?
750How know you that?
750How so?
750How,saith Lancelot,"Is he then otherwise than well?"
750How?
750How?
750How?
750How?
750How?
750In what manner?
750Is he dead?
750Is he far away?
750Is he slain then, my brother?
750Is he so good knight?
750Is he then traitor?
750Is he, then,saith he,"Perceval, the son of the Widow Lady?"
750Is his castle near this, Lady?
750Is it far from hence?
750Is it far?
750Is it true,saith Perceval,"that he is dead?"
750Is it you,saith the Knight of the Galley,"that hath trespassed on my demesne and taken down my knights?"
750Is there great throng of knights at the castle?
750Is there then any evil custom herein, damsel?
750Is this then S. Augustine''s chapel?
750Is this then he?
750Kay,saith the King,"Shall you be so merry and you may open the coffer, and if you have slain the knight whose head lieth therein?
750Knight,saith he,"who gave you this shield, and on behalf of whom do you bear such an one?"
750Know you then who I am?
750Know you then, damsel, who hath slain him?
750Lady,saith Clamados,"Who is this Good Knight?"
750Lady,saith Messire Gawain,"and whereabout may he be now?"
750Lady,saith Perceval,"Is this castle, then, not yours?"
750Lady,saith he,"How is he named that is in prison?"
750Lady,saith he,"and if he die shall I be quit?"
750Lady,saith he,"what is your pleasure?"
750Lady,saith the King,"What aileth you, and wherefore do you weep?"
750Lancelot,saith the King,"How is it with you?"
750Lancelot,saith the King,"Wherefore are you armed?"
750Look, Sir,saith the hermit,"Is he not right pitiful?
750Lords, know ye then how he was named?
750Lords, which coffin is that of the Lord of Camelot?
750Lords, whose castle is it?
750Lords,saith Lancelot,"Whom come ye to meet with such joy?"
750Lords,saith Lancelot,"is there no castle nigh at hand nor no harbour?"
750Lords,saith he,"Whither will you carry this venison?"
750Lords,saith the King,"How came these knights to be in so evil case?"
750Lords,saith the King,"Where may we be able to alight to- night?"
750May I not otherwise have it?
750May none remove you hence?
750Now tell me,saith Lancelot,"Sith that he is dead, is he purged of that whereof you appeached him?"
750Of what King speak you?
750Of whom is the history, fair Sir?
750Sagramors, and you, Orguelleux of the Launde, what will you do?
750Say you true?
750Shall we therefore take them of our booty?
750Sir Knight, will you do this whereof you had the damsel in covenant?
750Sir Knight,saith Gohaz,"Where will you put me?"
750Sir Knight,saith Lancelot,"thither shall I go where God may please; but you, whitherward are you bound to go?"
750Sir Knight,saith he to Meliot,"Can you tell me tidings of the Knight of the Galley?"
750Sir Knight,saith he,"What demand you?
750Sir Knight,saith she,"What is your name?"
750Sir knight, wherefor hate you me?
750Sir knight,saith Messire Gawain,"Whither away so fast?"
750Sir knight,saith the damsel,"See you these tombs?"
750Sir, God give you joy, Will you give me lodging to- night?
750Sir,saith King Arthur,"And what became of King Gorlois?"
750Sir,saith Lancelot to one of the hermits,"For whom were these coffins made?"
750Sir,saith Lancelot,"What do you with these arms?"
750Sir,saith Lancelot,"Whence come you?"
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"By what way may a man go to his castle?"
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"Can you tell me tidings of a knight that beareth a shield banded of argent and azure with a red cross?"
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"Is it so long a space sithence that he hath haunted the sea?"
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"May it not be in any wise that I may see him?"
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"So please you, I would fain ask you to tell me what castle is this?"
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"What name hath he?"
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"Where will the assembly be?"
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"Wherefore make the folk of this castle such dole, and they of all this land and all this country?
750Sir,saith Messire Gawain,"Will you in nowise do nought for me whatsoever I may say?"
750Sir,saith Perceval,"For whom have you done such service?
750Sir,saith Perceval,"Tell me of the knight that is all armed in the ivory vessel, who he is, and what is the name of this castle?"
750Sir,saith he to Messire Gawain,"Whither go you?"
750Sir,saith he to the hermit,"Of what age is the knight, and of what lineage?"
750Sir,saith he to the knight,"What is your pleasure?"
750Sir,saith he,"Are you come in hither to harbour?"
750Sir,saith he,"Can you tell me tidings of a knight that was in the Red Launde at the assembly of knights?"
750Sir,saith he,"Meseemeth you believe in God?"
750Sir,saith he,"My name is Joseus, and yours, what?"
750Sir,saith he,"What castle is this?"
750Sir,saith he,"Where is Lancelot?"
750Sir,saith he,"Whither go you?"
750Sir,saith she to Lancelot,"Are you wounded in any place?"
750Sir,saith she,"Can you tell me any tidings of my son that I have not seen of this long time past, and of whom at this present am I sore in need?"
750Sir,saith she,"Did you speak of my business to the knight?"
750Sir,saith she,"How know you this?"
750Sir,saith she,"How may I perceive that you love me?"
750Sir,saith she,"Know you wherefore he hath fallen into languishment?"
750Sir,saith she,"Please God we have nought to fear of you?"
750Sir,saith she,"What is your name?"
750Sir,saith she,"Will you tell me no more of him, nor none other witting?"
750Sir,saith she,"what is your name?"
750Sir,saith the King,"They tell me he is a right good knight?"
750Sir,saith the King,"who is the knight?"
750Sir,saith the damsel to Lancelot,"From whence come you?"
750Sir,saith the damsel,"The knight of the white shield made great joy thereof, and the lad asked him,''were knights so easy to slay?
750Sir,saith the damsel,"What is your name?"
750Sir,saith the damsel,"What will you do with the Golden Circlet?"
750Sir,saith the elder damsel,"What is your name?"
750Sir,saith the hermit to Messire Gawain,"Whom do you go seek?"
750Sir,saith the hermit,"Can you tell me any tidings of a knight that hath lain sick of a long time in the house of a hermit?"
750Sir,saith the hermit,"how are you named?"
750Sir,saith the knight to Messire Gawain,"Are you he?"
750Sir,saith the squire,"Shall I waken the knight?"
750Sir,say the knights,"May it please you come see the lord of this castle?"
750Tell me, Lady, do you say that he will come hither presently?
750Tell me,saith he,"of the chain of gold and the crown, what it may be?"
750The best?
750Then you tell us of a truth that the King is on live, and Messire Gawain?
750Think you he will tell you them and he knoweth any?
750To the land of King Gurgalain, Sir; is this the way?
750Was your father, then, King Alain of the Valleys of Camelot?
750What assembly?
750What castle is this?
750What condition?
750What have you in mind to do?
750What have you to do therein?
750What have you to do with my name?
750What is his name?
750What is it to you of me and of her?
750What is it?
750What is it?
750What is the Golden Circlet?
750What is the castle?
750What is the knight''s name?
750What is the pass; then, damsel?
750What is the trouble?
750What is your name, fair friend?
750What is your name?
750What is your pleasure?
750What is your pleasure?
750What is your pleasure?
750What knight, then, do you seek?
750What manner man are you?
750What name hath he?
750What need have you of my aid?
750What pass is it then?
750What pleaseth it you that I should do?
750What shield beareth he?
750What shield beareth he?
750What tidings can you tell us thereof?
750What was his name?
750What? 750 What?"
750Where found you him?
750Wherefore Perlesvax?
750Wherefore go you thither?
750Wherefore not?
750Wherefore you?
750Wherefore, fair friend?
750Wherefore?
750Wherefore?
750Whereof are you afeard, damsel?
750Whither are you bound?
750Whither carry you this golden vessel and that which is therein?
750Whitherward have you now emprised your way?
750Who hath mis- handled you thus?
750Who is he?
750Who is it?
750Who is the knight?
750Who is your lady?
750Who, then, hath slain him?
750Who, then, was he?
750Who, then, was the knight, damsel?
750Whom will you take with you?
750Whose is the forest?
750Whose man are you?
750Will he depart forthwith from hence?
750Will the battle be presently?
750Will this tempest that is over me last for ever?
750Will you present him with this horse on my behalf, and tell him how Lancelot that harboured with him hath sent it?
750Will you?
750After that will we go to the death of Messire Gawain?"
750And I would fain,"saith she,"know what is your name?"
750And how is the castle named?"
750And the knight marvelleth much, and maketh demand, saying,"Fair Sir, what misdeed have I done you?"
750And the other waketh up sore startled, and asketh what is the matter and wherefore is he come?
750And what is the name of this castle?"
750And what is your name?"
750And what, Sir, is your name?"
750And wherefore do you ask me?"
750And whitherward are you going?"
750And whom await you here?"
750And would you fain go thither?"
750And you, Sir,"saith he to the King,"Wherefore do you keep him company?
750Are there more hermits in this forest?"
750Are you minded to slay me?
750At night, the hermit asked Messire Gawain whence he came?
750But fain would I know your name?"
750But ill is he at ease, wherefore he saith to him:"Sir, wherefore are you fain to hold me here within so long?"
750But tell me tidings of the Knight of the Galley, and you have seen him?"
750But tell me tidings of the most Holy Graal, that you reconquered, is it still in the holy chapel that was King Fisherman''s?"
750But tell me, what is your name?"
750But what availeth us his knighthood, when we have neither aid nor succour thereof?
750Come you hither to do me evil?"
750Damsel,"saith he,"And know you whitherward they are gone?"
750Fair Sir, can you give me any tidings of him?"
750Go you thither, sir knight,"saith the damsel,"to see the King and the Queen and the knights that are there?"
750Goeth it on far like this?"
750Have you aught within to eat or to drink?"
750Have you indeed such name?"
750Have you not loyally promised hereof that you would set your head in the same jeopardy as the knight set his, whom you slew without defence?
750He saluteth Messire Gawain and he him again, and he asked him what castle is this that he seeth show so fair?
750How durst you have affiance in me of aught, and take the things that are mine own so boldly, when I may not have affiance in you?"
750Howbeit, will you do him a message from me?"
750I know not whether you have enemies?"
750In the morning, when Messire Gawain had heard mass, the hermit asked him,"Whitherward go you?"
750Is he hearty?"
750Lancelot asketh him,"What will you do with this axe?"
750Lancelot draweth his sword and cometh above him, and he crieth him mercy and asketh him wherefore he wisheth to slay him?
750Lancelot sitteth him down before him and asketh how it is with him?
750Messire Gawain turneth his horse''s head as he that was startled:"Wherefore say you so, damsel?"
750Perceval asketh the damsel what she hath in her thought?
750Saith King Arthur,"Whose was the land, and what was the name of the Queen whose crown I see?"
750Saith he to Perceval,"Are you quit as for this knight''s burial?"
750Saith the Lady to the squire:"Wherefore have you returned from doing my message?
750Saith the younger damsel to her sister:"What think you of my knight, doth he not please you?"
750Saw you ever so fair a child his age?"
750Seemeth he not a goodly man?"
750Sir,"saith she to the King,"The lad made answer that this was nor that he had asked, but how knights were made?
750Tell me rather what you would have me do?"
750The King asketh Briant of the Isles how it is that his knights are dead in such sort?
750The King calleth Messire Gawain and Lancelot and asketh them what he shall do of this knight that is entered into his land?
750The King maketh great joy of him and asketh him whither he would go?
750The Queen asketh him how it is with him and whether he is wounded?
750The dwarf crieth out aloud:"What aileth you?"
750The squire cometh over against him a great pace and saith unto him,"You, that come there, have you met King Arthur in this forest?"
750Then he asked the hermit that bare the bell, whence this thing came?
750They bowed their heads to him and he saluted them, and then asked of them what place was this?
750V."Are you so coward as you say?"
750V."Damsel, tell me what boon you would have of me?"
750What hath become of the Good Knight, and when will he come?"
750What name hath he?"
750What would you do?
750What wrong hath she done you?"
750When she was risen up over against him,"Damsel,"saith he,"For whom are you a- waiting here?"
750When the King departed,"Lords,"saith the Queen,"How seemeth you of the King?
750When the knight heard name Messire Gawain, he draweth him back:"How?"
750When the lad heareth his father and mother talking thus, he asketh what a knight may be?
750Wherefore slay you the best lady and most loyal that ever have I seen?
750Who careth?
750Will you be as strange toward us as Messire Gawain is friendly with others?"
750Will you come with us to the lady in the world who most desireth you, and will make much joy of you at Castle Orguelleux where she is?"
750Will you not therefore go?"
750Wish you to enquire of aught further?"
750Would you ask more of me?"
750Would you do as much for another?"
750Would you fain go thither?"
750You know me, then?"
750are you Messire Gawain?
750saith Lancelot,"I have but scarce come in hither to lodge, and you desire me so soon already to engage myself in battle?"
750saith Lancelot,"Will you slay me then?"
750saith Messire Gawain,"Be there no knights in this country?"
750saith Messire Gawain,"Shall I be evilly entreated and I bring it not?"
750saith Messire Gawain,"what shield the knight beareth?"
750saith Messire Gawain;"How know you that?"
750saith Perceval,"Can you give me witting?"
750saith he to the two knights,"Will you let your mortal enemy go thus?"
750saith he,"and of my nephew how seemeth you?"
750saith he;"Is this then the good Gawain, King Arthur''s nephew?"
750saith she,"How long a penance is this for me, and when will it come to an end?"
750saith she,"Will you see my chapel?"
750saith she,"shall I ever find one to wreak me vengeance of the traitor Vavasour that dwelleth in this castle?"
750saith the King,"Wherefore then did I know him not?
750saith the Lord of the Moors,"Would you then slay me and put me in worse plight than I am?"
750saith the dwarf,"Are you sleeping?"
750saith the hermit,"Sinner of mortal sin, what is this that you have spoken?
750saith the knight,"Hath he done you any mis- deed?"
750say the damsels,"Will you go your way thus?
750where, then, am I?"
750wherefore do you so great shame?"
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?
610live afresh?
610lock up my tongue From uttering freely what I freely hear?
610must I die?''
610my Lord Arthur, whither shall I go?
610nay Being so stately- gentle, would she make My darkness blackness?
610nay, Who knows?
610or doth all that haunts the waste and wild Mourn, knowing it will go along with me?''
610or fiend?
610or for any matter angered at me?''
610or sick?
610or that in him A something-- was it nobler than myself?
610or what hast heard?''
610or what hast heard?''
610or would yourself, Now weary of my service and devoir, Henceforth be truer to your faultless lord?''
610shall the shield of Mark stand among these?''
610shall we fast, or dine?
610slay a sleeping knight?
610straight forward?
610subject?
610that commerce with the Queen, I ask you, is it clamoured by the child, Or whispered in the corner?
610that ye blew your boast in vain?''
610the father answered, echoing''highest?''
610the rider?
610this, indeed, her voice And meaning, whom the roar of Hougoumont Left mightiest of all peoples under heaven?
610thy master?
610thy need?''
610to left?
610to 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?
610was it earthly passion crost?''
610washed up from out the deep?
610were all as tame, I mean, as noble, as the Queen was fair?
610what are they?
610what dream ye when they utter forth May- music growing with the growing light, Their sweet sun- worship?
610what hope?
610what phantom?''
610what profits me my name Of greatest knight?
610what stick ye round The pasty?
610where is he?
610wherefore hast thou so defamed Thy brotherhood in me and all the rest, As let these caitiffs on thee work their will?''
610wherewithal deck the boar''s head?
610who hath proven him King Uther''s son?
610who then?''
610who will hunt for me This demon of the woods?''
610why here?
610wilt thou if I win?''
610won he not your prize?''
610wounded there?
610ye be sent for by the King,''They followed; whom when Arthur seeing asked''Tell me your names; why sat ye by the well?''
610yea, so?
831A madman? 831 After him?
831Ah,he replied,"foolish and vulgar folk, full of all mischief, and devoid of honour, why have you thus assailed me?"
831Am I to see it?....
831And how has Lancelot been occupied since he entered this land?
831And this lady with him,the King inquires,"who is she?"
831And what is thy name, fair friend?
831And what prompted your heart, my fair sweet friend?
831And what the eyes?
831And when shall we be able to see him?
831And where is beauty''s fault in that?
831And who are they who are so devoted to you that either one of them would be bold enough to fight against three in your defence?
831And who are you?
831And why?
831And would you dare to undertake the defence of my spring for love of me?
831Are you there? 831 Because of whom?"
831Come now, lady,says the king who was very frank and courteous,"what induces you to act like this?
831Dangerous?
831Disdain, my lord? 831 Does any one know it, then, beside you two?"
831Dost thou not think thyself foolish now?
831Duke,says Cliges,"what is your pleasure now?
831Fair son,says he,"what dost thou intend to do?
831For God''s sake, sir, what does that name mean? 831 For God''s sake,"he said,"fair gentle sir, will you kindly inform me why you have thus honoured me, and shown at once such joy and such heaviness?"
831Friend, dost thou wish to know my name?
831Friend,said he to his kind companion,"could you tell me the name of this town, and whose it is?
831From Greece?
831God,says he,"what is that I heard?
831God,says she,"what can I say?
831Has no one come to seek her in this land?
831He is perfectly right,the damsel says;"for will not the news of his disgrace be known everywhere?
831How is that?
831How is that?
831I tell you? 831 I, sire?
831I? 831 I?"
831Is it he?
831Is it in anger or in spite that you wish to go?
831Is she her mother?
831Is that so, sir? 831 Lady, what condition is that?"
831Lady, what shall I say, and what leave unsaid? 831 Lady, when was it that your heart was there?
831Lady, why do you conceal it? 831 Lady,"he says,"if I may say it, when your lord attacked me, why was I wrong to defend myself?
831Leave? 831 Love?
831Mine, sire? 831 My lady,"says he,"do you remember the dwarf who yesterday angered you by wounding your damsel?"
831My lords, do you know the news I bring?
831No?
831No?
831Now tell me, what is this large one for?
831Pay, vassal; and how?
831Pleasantly? 831 Quite free, my lady?
831Really? 831 Sire,"said he,"what haste is this, that you are risen at such an hour, before the day and the sun appear?"
831Sire,says he,"do you wish to know what it is that you have promised me?
831The devil, Sir Kay,the Queen replies,"are you beside yourself that your tongue always runs on so?
831Thou? 831 To me?
831Vassal,he cries,"who art thou who dost thus dispute with me the hawk?"
831Vassal,they say,"what business is this of yours?
831What is his name?
831What is it, then?
831What is that?
831What? 831 What?
831What? 831 What?"
831What?
831What?
831When was that?
831Where do you come from, then?
831Where do you wish him to be?
831Where is he, then, fair dear sire, for we do not see him here?
831Where is the damsel,he inquires,"who has ejected her sister from her land, and has forcibly and cruelly disinherited her?"
831Where?
831Which way lies their path?
831Which way?
831Who is he, then?
831Who is he?
831Who is thy father?
831Who?
831Why is that?
831Why not?
831Why, do n''t you see? 831 Why?
831Will you do so much for my sake?
831You disdain to love me, lady?
831You have been told the exact truth,Lancelot replies,"but for God''s sake, can you tell me why she is so displeased with me?"
831You wish to go, fair sire? 831 ''And what is this thou fain wouldst find?'' 831 ''How dost thou do that? 831 ''Wert thou really tending them? 831 ''What dost thou here?'' 831 ''What kind of a man art thou?'' 831 A lie? 831 A thousand marks? 831 Ah, God, of what was he accused? 831 Ah, precious one, why does your lover live to see you dead? 831 Alas, unhappy one, why has Cliges killed me when I am innocent? 831 All hearts? 831 Am I a child to be terrified? 831 And Cliges sent for John to come quickly, and thus in private spoke to him:John, dost thou know what I am about to say?
831And am I for that reason his friend?
831And as for his beauty, what care I?
831And did not mine belong to you?
831And did she not even go to him?
831And do you know what reward we shall offer them?
831And do you see that other one, who has an eagle and a dragon painted side by side upon his shield?
831And do you see the one who has a shield with a gate painted on it, through which a stag appears to be passing out?
831And dost thou complain, when no sign of blow or wound appears?
831And dost thou not suppose that it would be a much greater honour for thee to defeat him there than anywhere else?"
831And for what were our shields intended?
831And he adds:"I suppose you wish me to clasp my hands and kneel before him as his liegeman, and to hold my lands from him?
831And he replied:"And who are you?"
831And he-- what does he do against these two devils?
831And how about the Queen?
831And how is that?"
831And if I actually see something that distresses me, can I not control my eyes?
831And if I prize so highly these two things, who could estimate the value of what remains?
831And if he lives, why does he not come?
831And my lord Kay remarked:"Ah, what now has become of Yvain, who after his dinner made the boast that he would avenge his cousin''s shame?
831And my lord Yvain said in reply:"How is that?
831And now, when no one is looking on, why do I thus spare myself?
831And ought I to fear death who have changed happiness into grief?
831And ought she to regard me as a friend?
831And shall she have the head she covets?
831And should I lie in thus addressing him?
831And since he neither loves nor esteems me, shall I love him without return?
831And the Queen replies:"Do you not see how the bars are stiff to bend and hard to break?
831And the fellow goes and finds her all ready, weeping and making moan: and he straightway addressed her thus:"Lady, why do you so delay?
831And the king went down from the tower to upbraid his son, and entering the list he addressed him thus:"How now?
831And the other replies:"Why, what of that?
831And the others make reply:"Do n''t you see, then, what an adversary yonder party has sent against us?
831And there are some who ask:"Why do these knights of ours delay, without stepping forward from the ranks?
831And thus they question each other:"Who is yonder knight?
831And what about her teeth?
831And what if I think to kill you now?"
831And what shall I say of his virtues?
831And what shall I tell you about the King how the lady escorts him, accompanied by her damsels and seneschal?
831And what thanks will he owe to me, if he can not have my loving service and good- will?
831And when he hears him beg for mercy, he ceases his attack and says:"Dost thou wish for mercy?"
831And when the people in the field see how this adventure has turned out, they all exclaim:"Did you see?
831And who shall speak of her laughing mouth, which God shaped with such great skill that none might see it and not suppose that she was laughing?
831And whom?"
831And why did the body conceal itself?
831And why should one ask for advice, who does not expect to gain his health?
831And you, my lords, what do you think about it?
831And you-- how has it fared with you, since you came to this country?
831And, since he has implored him, shall he not receive mercy?
831Are your saddle- cloths ready stuffed, and your iron greaves polished, and your banners unfurled?
831Art thou not mistaken?
831As soon as he was recovered from his swoon, she called to him:"God,"said she,"who is that I hear?
831As soon as she saw him, the damsel recognised him, and said:"Sir knight, do you see him who yonder comes against us all armed and ready for a battle?
831At once my lord Yvain turns toward the tower, and the crowd cries out, all shouting aloud at him:"Eh, eh, wretch, whither goest thou?
831Bring back?
831But am I sure?
831But be seated, and tell us now what is the cause of your docility?"
831But do you think you have seen all of my tower and fair retreat?
831But have you told her who I am?"
831But he has not put it out?
831But he in his pride replies:"What?
831But how could it ever come about that thou didst kill my lord, unless it was done by treachery?
831But how?
831But if I pursue and nothing gain, what will it profit me to come up with him?
831But is it not better to keep my thoughts to myself than to be called a fool?
831But is it true, as I am told, that she is so angry with you that she has publicly refused to speak with you?"
831But tell me now, so help thee God, what is thy name?"
831But the latter answers him:"Do n''t you know?
831But the spiteful dwarf sallies forth to meet her with his scourge in hand, crying:"Halt, maiden, what do you want here?
831But the warning was of no avail, for she began to say to her at once:"My lady, is it seemly that you should thus torment yourself with grief?
831But what did I say?
831But what matters it?
831But what reference has that to me?
831But what was this hair like?
831But what would be the use of my telling you of her lodgings and her journeyings?
831But when one has no experience, how can one tell what is sickness and what is health?
831But who could ever repay half the debt we owe you?"
831But why do I thus torment myself?
831But why do you tarry here?
831But why does his name seem so hard to me that I should wish to replace it by a surname?
831But why should I describe to you the paintings and the silken draperies with which the room was decorated?
831But why should I make a long story of it?
831But why should I make a long story?
831But why should I tell you more?
831But why should I weary you with details?
831But, God, why should I have gone?
831But, on the other hand, is not their hate equally manifest?
831Ca n''t you see it, then?
831Calling the monk, the knight inquired:"Of what use are these tombs here?"
831Can Love do harm?
831Can it harm my lover for me to live on after he is dead, if I take no pleasure in anything but in the woe I bear for him?
831Can you make any objection?
831Come now, in God''s name, my lord Yvain, is it to- night or to- morrow that you start?
831Death, what hast thou done?
831Deprive?
831Did you not hesitate for shame to mount the cart?
831Didst thou do it to injure me, prompted by hatred or by spite?"
831Distresses?
831Do you know of whom I mean to speak?
831Do you know why?
831Do you like the people, do you like the land?
831Do you see those two side by side, with their dappled steeds, and golden shields showing black lions?
831Do you suppose it does not give me pain to hear you thus spoken of with scorn?
831Do you think now that I shall tell you what motive he had had in starting out?
831Do you think you can escape?"
831Do you think you can recover your lord by giving away thus to your grief?"
831Does Love think to set me in the same path which is wo nt to lead others astray?
831Does Yvain wish to kill his friend, my lord Gawain?
831Does she not share in the general jubilee?
831Dost thou know how lovers spend their time?
831Dost thou know what my intention is?
831Dost thou not remember that thou hast agreed to fight him at King Arthur''s court?
831Erec no more withholds his name, but says:"Didst thou ever hear of King Lac and of his son Erec?"
831Even if he enjoys peace and a truce with you and all your men, what matters that to me?
831Foolish indeed?
831For God''s sake, where, then, could she be keeping herself?
831For God''s sake, why hadst thou not the power and might to kill me before my lady died?
831For did he not take me when I was poor and naked?
831For did not your health and life belong to me, sweet one?
831For is not my lord the son of a king?
831For is not the heart placed in the breast just like a lighted candle which is set in a lantern?
831For what crime, indeed, or for what wrong shouldst thou hate me with mortal hatred?
831For what sin, or for what crime?
831For where could you find a man, be he never so rich and powerful, who is not blamed if he is mean?
831Friend?
831Gave?
831God, shall I be then such a craven as not to dare to raise my voice?
831Good?
831Has it indeed?
831Have I not seen this lion a prey to such grief on my behalf that he was on the point just now of thrusting my sword through his breast?
831He aroused at her words, and much surprised to see her weeping, he asked her:"Tell me, my precious beauty, why do you weep thus?
831Heard of it?
831Her lord it was whom I wounded mortally, and yet do I think I can be reconciled with her?
831How are they different and contrary?
831How can I commit such treachery?
831How can I stay here and look upon what belongs to my lady?
831How can one enjoy himself seeing that he is hunted to death, unless he courts and wishes it?"
831How can two things so opposed find lodging in the same dwelling- place?
831How could it ever have happened then?
831How did he make it enter in?
831How didst thou dare to think of such a thing?
831How does this come about?
831How is that?
831How so?
831How so?"
831How then?
831How then?
831How will he ever know the truth, since I shall not tell him of it?
831I do not know?
831If I can?
831If Love chastens and threatens me in order to teach and instruct me, ought I to disdain my teacher?
831If he does not boast of his deeds, who will?
831If his beauty allures my eyes, and my eyes listen to the call, shall I say that I love him just for that?
831If my path were unobstructed, and if these men gave me leave to pass through without restraint, what honour would I gain?
831If the wall were worn away and had fallen into decay, would he not have been caught and injured or killed at the same time?
831If thou makest over the Queen to him, dost thou fear any dishonour in the deed?
831If you grieve and lament because of this, do you think that I am surprised?
831In God''s name, are there three of them?"
831In God''s name, is that the truth?
831In accordance with his instructions, he at once inquired:"Which of you is Lancelot?
831In wonder they all make haste to ask:"Who is this knight who fights so well?"
831Is he a murderer, or a criminal?"
831Is he convicted of robbery?
831Is he not a man to be respected who has performed such a feat?
831Is he not gentle and well- bred?
831Is he not more fair than I, and of higher rank than I?
831Is he not?"
831Is he to be rayed, or hanged, or drowned, or burned upon a fire of thorns?
831Is it mingled with anger or hate?
831Is it not a fair and precious gift?"
831Is it true that you are Erec, the son of Lac?"
831Is not that a perfect and lofty love?
831Is not that the empress with him there?
831Is not that wrong?
831Is not the wall built strong enough, and is not the tower sufficiently strong and high?
831Is not this a marvellous thing, that he has forced a passage here?"
831Is that not Cliges?
831Is there no help, then?
831Is this becoming, to strike him when he is not touching thee?
831Is this love?
831Is this then an actual force?
831Joy?
831Just tell me, if you will, who is going to defend your land when King Arthur comes next week to the margin of the spring?
831Lancelot inquires;"tell me what disgrace have I brought upon you?"
831Love, what has become of thee?
831Mad one, what have I said?
831Many say:"What is he going to do?
831Must one not surrender his right when he is unable to recover it?
831My lord Yvain, who is listening, says:"Base and pitiless people, miserable and impudent, why do you assail me thus, why do you attack me so?
831Neither for flattery nor for prayer you will do my will?
831Nor could you find one, however ungracious he may be, whom generosity will not bring into fair repute?
831Now I am ready to love, and I have a master, and Love will teach me-- but what?
831Now tell me, my gentle friend, who are those who now accuse you of treachery, and have confined you in this lonely place?"
831Now what do you think?"
831Nurse Thessala, now tell me true, is not this a deceitful ill, to charm and torment me both at once?
831Nurse, for God''s sake, what do you think of this young lady''s malady?
831O empty and elusive thing, why can not I have thee in my power?
831On the spot she turns about and calls to him:"Fair sire, of what are you thinking?
831Or, if it comes about perchance that Yvain should hurt him in turn, or defeat him in any way, will Gawain have the right to complain?
831Ought I to blame them, then?
831Pain?
831Pledged?
831Seneschal, have you any news of him?
831Shall I beseech him, then?
831Shall I call him by his name?
831Shall I love all men, then, for the sake of one?
831Shall I retreat?
831Shall I tell him all, then, openly?
831Shall I tell you how bad a place it is to pass?
831Shall I then conceal the cause of my distress, and not dare to seek aid and healing for my wound?
831Should I dare?
831So she argues as if he were in her presence there, and thus she begins her argument:"Come,"she says,"canst thou deny that my lord was killed by thee?"
831So tell me now, if possible, about the knight of whom you have spoken so much to me: what sort of a man is he, and of what parentage?
831So, then, am I her enemy?
831Son, I chasten thee; but to what end?
831Tell me now, my gentle sweetheart; and raise care to keep nothing back, why you said that woe was me?
831Tell us, thou dwarf, who art driving him, in what crime was he caught?
831The Count, greatly astonished, says:"How is that?
831The King speaks and explains to him:"Friend,"he says,"do you know the meaning of this thing that you see here?
831The King was grieved at what he heard, and as soon as he could, he thus replied to him:"Is this serious, or a joke?"
831The Queen keeps her peace no longer, but asks him for news of Erec:"Tell me,"she says,"if you please, do you know when Erec will arrive?"
831The Queen, who was seated beside the King, draws him to her as she says:"Sire, do you know who that knight is?
831The knight hesitated at the door, and thought:"God, what can I do?
831The old knight in his shirt sleeves said:"Sire, tell us, have you seen a knight with a damsel in his company?"
831Then Erec said to comfort them:"My lords, why do you weep so sore?
831Then can I not die some other way, without God''s consent?
831Then do they not love each other now?
831Then fainting she falls upon the ground, and when she later sat up again, she only moans again the more:"God, what shall I do, and why live on?
831Then he added to the knights:"My lords, what say you?
831Then he who had loved her deeply once came to her and raised her up, saying:"My damsel, where are those who blame and accuse you?
831Then he, whose mind is fixed upon the most direct way, asks him:"Is the road of which you speak as direct as the other way?"
831Then shall I not do what I please?
831Then she asks them:"What is that?
831Then she takes another course, and says:"Silly one, what matters it to me if this youth is of good birth and wise and courteous and valorous?
831Then the Queen arose, and going before the King, said:"Sire, did you hear?
831Then the Queen replies:"What?
831Then the damsel cried again from the window:"Ah, Lancelot, how is it that thou dost now conduct thyself so foolishly?
831Then the damsel said to Yvain:"Friend, do you hear them all seeking you?
831Then the father turns to his son, and says:"Son, what dost thou think about him now?
831Then the knight replied:"Upon my word, there are plenty of queens and kings; what queen do you mean?"
831Then the old knight remarked:"Did I not know it?
831Then they ask her:"Damsel, where is this country?
831Then what do I think of him so much, if he pleases me no more than other men?
831Then, why should she be backward in comforting her lady and in giving her advice which should redound to her honour?
831Think you that all virtue ceased with the death of your lord?
831Thou art the one to lie with me, in accordance with thy promise; and shall this man by force accomplish his wish before thy eyes?
831Thou?
831Through the eye?
831Thus one man and another asks:"Who is this youth, who is he, I say?"
831Thus they talk among themselves:[ 424]"Do you see that knight yonder with a golden band across the middle of his red shield?
831To do what?"
831To this the gentleman replies:"How?
831Upon their return they hear every one in the city saying to his neighbour:"Do n''t you know the marvellous news about my lady, the empress?
831Was I not a fool, when I refused to look at or speak to him?
831Was it there while I was there?"
831Were you looking for me, then?"
831What can he want?
831What care I?
831What cause had I to think that he could possibly escape?
831What chance, fair gentle sire, in God''s name, guided thee hither to me, to free me by thy courage from the hands of my enemies?
831What crime, then, have my eyes committed, if their glance but follows my desire?
831What did I come here to seek?
831What do you wish of me, what do you want, that you growl this way after me?"
831What forbids me to do so?
831What has caused you woe or sorrow?
831What is the soul doing in so miserable a frame?
831What is their fault and what their sin?
831What is your opinion?
831What is your opinion?
831What joy have you had here?
831What joy is that?
831What marvel is this I see?
831What more shall I say?
831What motive have you in your mind?
831What power can I have over him that he should esteem me so highly as to make me the mistress of his heart?
831What say you, sir?
831What shall I do, if I do not make to him my prayer?
831What shall I do, then?
831What shall I say of her beauty?
831What shall I suffer and endure?
831What shall I tell you of the mantle?
831What will he care in his ignorance, unless I tell him of it myself?
831What?
831What?
831What?
831When he saw her, he felt ashamed, and said:"Why do you need to bear me aid?"
831When one will have defeated the other, of whom can he complain who has the worst of it?
831When she had come before him, she said:"Sir knight, what do you desire that you call me so insistently?"
831When two knights have met in an affray of arms and when one has beaten the other, which of the two do you think is the better?
831Whence came beauty so marvellous?
831Whence do you come?"
831Where can we find the way thither?"
831Where didst thou get him?"
831Where is he concealed?
831Where is he to be found?
831Where is her heart, then?
831Where shall I ever find a friend, when these three are my enemies, belonging to me, yet putting me to death?
831Where shall we search for him?
831Where then was my good and gentle lord Gawain?
831Where was he born?
831Whither did he go?
831Who are you, and where do you come from?"
831Who can he be?
831Who is it that thus complains?"
831Who knows him here?"
831Who shall I say it is that sends me?
831Who would believe that I have thus, all to no purpose, evaded and escaped from your uncle still a maid?
831Who would deny his mistress aught?
831Who, then, should be blamed?
831Whom?
831Whose praises can we speak, when we know not what your name may be?"
831Why art thou so in fear of me, when before my lord thou weft so brave?
831Why can not I lay hands upon thee now?
831Why did Erec treat his wife with such severity?
831Why do I not take my life?
831Why do you flee?
831Why does Death delay and hesitate to come and seize me without respite?
831Why does she wring her lovely hands and beat and tear her breast?
831Why does the soul still tarry in my body?
831Why have you mentioned him?"
831Why is not her joy complete?
831Why is not my heart as independent as his?
831Why not?
831Why not?
831Why then did he weep?
831Why was he carried in a cart?
831Why, then, do I hesitate, crazed as I am?
831Why?
831Why?
831Why?
831Will she recover?"
831Will you tell me what it is?"
831Wilt thou not change thy mind?"
831Worse off?
831Would he who could gain such a prize crave other riches his whole life long?
831Would she not be marvellously fair to look upon when in happy mood, seeing that she is so fair in her displeasure?
831Would, then, my lord Gawain desire to kill Yvain with his own hands, or do even worse than I have said?
831[ 213] How has he pierced thy body with it, when no wound appears without?
831[ 45] They all inquire:"To what punishment is this knight to be consigned?
831[ Footnote 118: What was this drinking- cup, and who sent it to Arthur?
831art thou beside thyself or drunk, who hast killed my lady without me?
831can I ever make amends for this murder and this crime?
831did not my lord love me to excess?
831gentlemen, do n''t you know?
831he asked,"what did you say?"
831he asks,"or where do you wish me to put him?"
831how has it happened that so suddenly he has attained such great success?"
831how shall I speak to him?
831my lord Gawain inquires,"who are you, then?"
831of what was I thinking when my lover stood before me and I should have welcomed him, that I would not listen to his words?
831said he,"and for what crime?"
831said he,"what has happened to me now?
831said my lord Gawain to him,"who degenerate after marriage?
831says Erec,"what''s that you say?
831says Erec;"do you know about it?
831says he,"what do you want?"
831says she,"come tell me now and be forgiven, if you did no wrong in killing my lord?"
831she cries,"fair gentle Lord, why dost Thou let me thus live on?
831she said,"are you bewitched, my lady dear, that your face should be so pale?
831she says,"is he here?
831she says;"shall I address him by his name, or shall I call him''friend''?
831what could my crime have been?
831what harm could this crime do?
831what shall I do?
831whence comes this fear, that he should shrink from a lonely girl, feeble and timid, simple and mild?
831where have you come from, then, that you do not know what has happened just now in this city?
831who can this knight be, with the fair damsel by his side?"
831who is this in whom such beauty is radiant?
831why did I not know it?
831why do I not take my life?
831why is she thus possessed, and why does she not spare herself?
831why was I so forward as to dare to utter such folly?
831wretch,"says he,"why do I wait?
