The Noble Acts n●wly found , of Arthur of the Table round . To th● tune of flying Fame . WH●n Arthur first in Court b●gan , and was approued King : By force of Armes great Victories won , and conquest home did bring : Then into Brittaine straight he came , where fiftie good and able Knights then repaired vnto him , which were of the Round-table . And many Iustes and Turnaments , before him there were brest : Wherein both Knights did then excell , and far surmount the rest : But one Sir Lancelot du Lake , who was approoued we● : He in his sight and deeds of Armes , all other did excell . When he had rested him a while , to play and game and sport ; He thought he would approue himselfe , in some aduenturous sort : He armed rode in Forest wide , and met a Damsell faire , Who told him of aduentures great : wherto he gaue good eare . Why should I not ( quoth Lancelot tho ) for that cause came I hither . Thou seemist ( quoth she ) ● Knight right good and I will bring thee thither , Whereas the mightiest Knights doth dwell that now is of great fame : Wherefore tell me what Knight thou art , and then what is thy name : My name is Lancelot du Lake . Quoth shee , it likes me than : Here dwels a Knight that neuer was e're matcht of any man : Who hath in Prison threescore Knights and foure , that he hath won ? Knights of King Arthurs Court they be , and of the Table-round ; She brought him to a riuer then , and also to a tree , Whereas acopper Bason hung , his fellowes Shields to see , He stroke so hard , the Bason broke ; When Tarquin heard the sound , He droue a Horse before him straight , whereon a Knight lay bound , Sir Knight ( then said Sir Lancelot tho ) bring me that Horse-load hither , And lay him downe , and let him rest , wee le try our force togeather : For as I vnderstand , thou hast , as farre as thou art able , Done great despight and shame vnto the Knights of the Round-table , If thou be of the Table-round , ( quoth Tarquin speedily ) Both thee and all thy fellowship , I vtterly defie . That s ouermuch ( quoth Lancelot tho ) defend thee by and by , They put their spurs , vnto their Steeds , and each at other fly : They couch their Speares , and Horses run , as though there had bene thunder , And each stroke there amidst the shield , wherewith they brake in sunder : Their Horses backs brake vnder them , the Knights were both astound : To voide their horses they made great haste to light vpon the ground : They tooke them to their Shields full fast , their Swords they drue out then : With mighty stroakes most eagerly , each one to other can , They wounded were , and bled full sore , for breath they both did stand ; And leaning on their Swords a while , quoth Tarquin hold thy hand And tell to mee what I shall aske . say on quoth Lancelot tho . Thou art ( quoth Tarquin ) the best Knight that euer I did know , And like a Knight tha● did hate : so that that thou be not he , I will deliuer all the rest , and eke accord with thee . That is 〈…〉 ( quoth Lancelot then ) but sith it so must be , What is that Knight thou hatest so , I pray thee shew to mee : His name's Sir Lancelot du Lake , He slew my brother deare : Him I suspect of all the rest , I would I had him here . Thy Wish thou hast , but now vnknowne ▪ I am Lancelot du Lake , Now Knight of Arthurs Table-round , King Hand ●onne of Benwake : And I defie thee doe thy worst , Ha , ha , ( quoth Tarquin tho ) One of vs two shall end our liues , before that we doe goe : If thou be Lancelot du Lake , then welcome thou shalt be : Wherefore , see thou thy selfe defend , for now I thee defie . They hurled them togeather so , like two wild Bores , so rashing : And with their Swords & Shields they ran at one another lashing . The ground ●●s●rinkled was with Blood : Tarquin began to faint , For he gaue backe , and bore his Shield so low he did repent . That soonee spide Sir Lancelot tho , he lept vpon him then : He puld him downe vpon his knee , and rushed-off his Helmne : And then he strooke his necke in two , And when he had done so . From prison threescore Knight and 〈◊〉 , Lancelot deliuered tho .
