And
also
bycause
that
ydelnesse

reputed

wherfore
somwhat
in

therof

in

I
Iohn
Bourghchere
knyght

haue
enterprysed

a

Emendus
kynge

and
of
the
grete
trouble
that
they
endured
or
they
attayned
to
the
perfourmaunce
of
theyr
vertuous
amorous
desyers
,
for
fyrste
they
ouercame
many
harde
&
straunge
aduentures
the
whiche
as
to
our
humayne
reason
sholde
seme
to
be
incredible
,
wherfore
after
that
I
had
begon
this
sayd
processe
I
haue
determined
to
haue
left
and
gyuen
vp
my
laboure
for
I
thoughte
it
sholde
haue
be
reputed
but
a
folye
in
me
to
translate
beseming
suche
a
fayned
mater
wherin
semeth
to
be
so
many
vnpossybylytees
,
how
be
it
than
I
called
agayne
to
my
remembraunce
that
I
had
redde
and
seen
many
a
sondrye
volume
of
dyuerse
noble
hystoryes
wherin
were
contayned
the
redoubted
dedes
of
the
auncyent
inuynsyble
conquerours

of
other
ryght
famous

who
acheued
many
a
straunge

wonderfull
aduenture
the
whyche
by
playne
letter
as
to
our
vnderstandynge
sholde
seme
in
a
maner
to
be
supernaturall
,
wherfore
I
thought
that
this
present
treatyse
myght
as
well
be
reputed
for
trouth
as
some
of
those
.
And
also
I
doubted
not
but
that
the
first
auctour
of
this
boke
deuysed
it
not
with
out
some
maner
of
trouthe
or
vertuous
entent
,
the
whiche
consyderacyons
and
other
gaue
me
agayne
audacyte
to
contynue
forth
my
fryste
purpose
tyll
I
had
fynysshed
this
sayd
boke
,
not
presumynge
that
I
haue
reduced
it
in
to
fresshe
ornate
polysshed
englysshe
,
for
I
knowe
my selfe
insuffycyent
in
the
facondyous
arte
of
rethoryke
,
nor
also
I
am
but
a
lerner
of
the
language
of
frensshe
how
be
it
I
truste
my
symple
reason
hath
ledde
me
to
the
vnderstandinge
of
the
true
sentence
of
the
mater
,
accordinge
to
the
whiche
I
haue
folowed
as
nere
as
I
coude
desyrynge
all
the
reders
and
herers
therof
to
take
this
my
rude

ANd
whan

delyuered
him
to
be
kepte
vnder
the
gouernaunce
of
a
noble
&
a
gentyl
mayster
named

who
was
ryght
prudent

vertuous
●
vygorous

And
whan

the
man●re
of
skyrmyshe
so
that
within
a
lytle
season
ther

Thus
amended

&
grew
so
goodly
that

there
was
none

sholde
haue
be
noryshed

How

So

in

So

Gouernar
answered
that

Than

Cap.

.
IN
this
tyme
there
was
in
the
real
me
of
desert
a
knyght
of
grete
power
and
right
riche
of
hauiour
and
frendes
,
and
he
was
Lord
of
a
castell
called
the
toure
.
This
knyght
was
named
Vyciers
and
was
of
such
vertue
that
he
douted
nothinge
.x.
knyghtes
armed
,
and
was
of
so
valiant
corage
that
sin
the
time
that
he
coude
fyrst
beare
armes
he
was
neuer
but
there
as
he
knew
where
as
the
fayte
of
armes
were
occupyed
,
and
employed
himselfe
euer
in
iustes
and
tornayes
and
in
dedes
of
armes
and
dyd
so
to
be
alowed
that
there
was
no
spekinge
of
him
but
that
he
was
the
noblest
knight
of
the
world
,
but
finally
he
led
so
his
life
that
he
spended
and
wastest
his
goodes
so
largely
to
thentenr
to
get
hym
laude
and
prayse
that
at
the
end
he
became
therby
very
port
and
than
was
faynt
to
fell
and
to
make
shyfte
of
all
that
he
had
both
of
his
owne
&
of
the
good
lady
his
wyfe
.
And
so
dyed
in
grete
pouerte
.
And
whan
he
was
buryed
suche
persones
as
he
was
detter
vnto
,
toke
all
the
londes
&
goodes
that
perteyned
other
to
hym
or
to
the
lady
his
wyfe
,
so
that
there
by
the
good
lady
his
wife
fledde
&
departed
pryuely
out
of
the
countree
,
so
that
non
of
her
frendes
wyste
where
she
was
become
,
for
she
thoughte
she
hadde
rather
to
lyue
poorely
in
a
straunge
countrye
ferre
fro
her
frendes
&
aqueyntaunce
than
to
endure
pouerte
in
her
owne
countrye
where
she
had
ben
nobly
broughte
vp
in
before
.
So
this
lady
went
&
her
doughter
with
her
,
who
was
of
the
age
of
.xiiii
yeare
ryght
beautefull
,
how
be
it
she
was
porely
arayed
&
had
to
name
I●hannet
.
And
they
trauayled
so
longe
by
theyr
Iorneys
that
by
aduenture
they
came
in
to
the
forest
where
Arthur
&
Gouernar
were
vsed
to
chase
&
to
hunte
.
And
in
a
desolate
place
of
the
forest
ferre
from
ony
hye
way
ther
these
two
ladyes
dyd
reste
them
and
made
theym
a
lodge
to
abyde
in
of
boughes
and
of
suche
thinges
as
they
coude
gette
Thus
they
contynued
the
space
of
a
moneth
.
And
this
lady
went
eueri
day
right
porely
to
the
nexte
vylage
for
to
gete
suthe
thinges
as
she
&
her
doughter
neded
.
And
so
it
fortuned
t
same
day
that
Arthur
&
gouernar
departed
fro
the
courte
of
his
fader
&
was
entred
into
the
sayde
foreste
anone
his
houndes
had
founde
a
grete
harte
,
And
a
noble
knyghte
that
was
in
his
company
named
the
lorde
Olyuer
of
I●y●c
folowed
after
this
harte
on
a
gret
courser
&
all
the
other
hunters
after
hym
.
And
this
yonge
Arthur
began
to
folowe
after
,
how
be
it
Gou●r●ar
toke
hede
that
he
sholde
not
folowe
to
fast●
,
so
that
this
sayde
lorde
Olyuer
&
●ll
other
were
past
f●rth
by
hym
&
were
gon
so
ferre
into
the
thicke
of
the
foreste
that
Arthur
&
Gouernar
had
clene
loste
both
sight
and
heringe
of
thē
and
of
theyr
houndes
.
And
so
by
ges
they
folowed
fayre
and
esyly
after
,
so
long
they
folowed
that
by
aduenture
they
came
to
the
same
place
where
as
the
lodge
was
made
for
the
lady
&
her
doughter
,
who
were
bothe
the
same
tyme
syttynge
wythout
the
lodge
dore
.
And
as
soone
as
Arthur
sawe
them
he
lyghted
downe
of
his
hors
and
Gouernar
with
hym
.
And
whan
this
lady
sawe
Arthur
she
was
gretly
abashed
for
she
thought
well
that
he
sholde
be
some
grete
man
&
there
with
she
rose
and
Arthur
right
swetely
saluted
her
.
And
the
lady
in
like
wise
agayne
to
him
.
And
at
the
tyme
it
was
aboute
thre
of
the
clocke
.
And
whan
the
ladye
sawe
Arthur
&
Gouernar
dyscende
from
theyr
horses
,
she
remembred
the
state
of
her
fader
&
of
other
gentlemen
that
she
had
seene
before
in
her
owne
countree
where
as
she
had
be
norysshed
vp
u●
wherof
her
herte
was
gretely
ashamed
&
troubled
.
Than
Arthur
toke
her
by
the
hande
&
her
moder
also
&
set
them
do●ne
all
togyder
.
Than
Arthur
demaunded
of
the
yonge
mayde
&
sayd
fayre
swete
damoysell
what

your

.
As
our

,
Iehanne●
good
loue
where
were
ye
borne
certayne
syr
I
was
not
born
in
this
countre
.
Than
her
moder
sayd
syr
truely
my
doughter
sayth
sothe
,
for
truely
she
was
borne
in
the
lond
of

in
a
castel
called

.
Truly
sayd
Arthur
to
whome
was
she
doughter
.
As
God
helpe
me
syr
to
a
knyght
right
stronge
&
puyssaunt
who
in
his
tyme
loued
euer
dedes
of
armes
&
was
acquented
with
many
noble
men
How
be
it
his
fortune
was
such
or
he
dyed
that
he
lost
away
&
wasted
both
his
londes
and
goodes
and
myne
that
was
his
poore
wyfe
.
And
were
broughte
so
ferre
vnder
that
lytell
or
nothing
was
left
vs.
And
after
his
death
suche
persones
as
he
owed
ony
thynge
to
,
and
peraduenture
some
other
that
he
owed
nothing
to
.
They
were
than
so
importune
on
me
that
I
was
fayne
to
sel
al
that
I
had
.
And
whan
I
saw
that
I
was
so
ferre
broughte
vnder
&
that
I
had
nothyng
lefte
me
wherby
to

The
occasion
therof
caused
me
to
steale
awaye
by

▪
for
I
thought
I
had
leuer
go
lyke
a

IN

Also

It

the

beastes
of
the

dyd
euer

and
Ioynynge

Than

And

Therfore
kepe

For

And

THe

For

And

Wherby

And
whan

And

And

Than

My

And
halfe

And

And

How

vertu
And

But
one
thing
syr

and
in

of

and
all

that

My
owne
swete
and
fayre
damoysell
sayd
Arthur
I
wolde
fayne
se

.
And
by
the
fayth
that

And
for

yf

My

ye
may
not

but
it
may
well
be

And
soo
thus
they
comoned
togyder
of
manye
thinges
tyll
it
was
tyme
that
Arthur
sholde
retorne

for

Than
Arthur
toke

And
so
he
and
gouernar
mounted
on
theyr

rode
forth
alwayes
deuisyng
of
the
maner
of
this

And
at

And

And

And

Mayster

So
they

came
to

and
than
went
to

for
it
was
by

Cap.

IN
this
wyse
Arthur
soiurned
a
great
longe
space
so
that
there
was
no

that
twyse
or
thri●e
he
and
Gouernar
wolde
ryde
to

And
it
fortuned
one
day
he
taried
there
lenger
than
he
was
a

to

wherfore
he
was
sought
all
aboute
by

how

And
than

for

but
Gouernar●
veraylye
I
doubte

of

least
that

sholde
set

shold

Syr

veryly
madame
sayd

I
haue
harde
saye

And

And
therwith
Gouernar
stepped
forth
for
his
herte
was
so
great
and
mightie
for

that
was
doone
to
Arthur
his
maister
that
he
coude
not
absteyne
ne
forbere
hymself
no
lenger
,
but
in
open
audience
he
sayde
to
the
Duke
,
syr
it
is
of
trouthe
ye
haue
maryed
my
lorde
arthur
your
son
to
such
a
woman
that
the
whiche
ought
not
to
be
receiued
in
matrimony
with
so
greate
a
gentylman
and
of
so
hie
a
lygnage
as
my
lorde
your
son
is
,
for
she
is
a
woman
di●honoured
in
euery
noble
mans
cour●e
as
she
that
hath
abandoned
her
wyl
v●to
an
other
man
than
to
my
lorde
Arthur
,
as
it
well
appereth
.
For
she
hath
defouled
her
bodi
with
a
nother
knight
.
And
therfore
this
night
she
caused
an
other
damoysell
who
was
a
true
mayde
to
lye
by
my
lorde
arthur
.
And
to
proue
that
this
is
true
that
I
say
beholde

fyue
hondred

and
whan
she
had
brought
this
damoysel
she
was
layde
a
bed
with
my
lorde
Arthur
.
Howbeit
she
was
not
so
folish
but
or
she
wold
suffre
my
lord
to
touche
her
she
demaunded
of
him
her
dowrye
.
And
so
my
lorde
arthur
delyuered
to
her
the
charter
and
the
ringe
as
he
thought
none
yll
.
And
in
dede
syr
to
certefye
this

.
And
than
shal
ye
know
by

all
the
trouth
how
my

was
betrayed
So
than
incontinent
this

And
whan
that
Iehannet
was
come
there
openlye
she
declared
all
the
matter
and
shewed
forth
the
charter
and
the
ringe
.
Than
was
the
duke
and
duchesse
g●eatly
dysmayed
and
all
other
lordes
and
frendes
of
arthur
.
Than
stept
forth
●yr
aunsell
and
cast
his
gloue
agaynst
this
damoysel
Iehannet
,
and
sayde
that
he
neuer

to

,
he
brought
neuer
the
foresayde

that

proue
agaynst

Therwith

And
sayde

And

{quod}
Gouernar
ye

this
matter
toucheth
my
lorde
and
I
am
his
man
&
haue
norysh●d

therfore
I

And
therwith
he
cast

&
said
gentil
and
honourable
knight
Duke
receyue
my

and
do
right
to

for
I
say
that

And
that
I
wyl

And
also

and
the
batayle
was
iudg●d
to

without

¶
Howe
the
Gouernar
vaynquysshed
in

&
caused

to
make
knowledge

WHan
the
batayle
was
thus
determined
to
be
the
next
day
,
Hector
was
not
content
in
his
mynde
bycause
hys
gu●ge
was
not
receyued
so
in
this
maner
as
for
that
day
they
went●
to

restes
.
And
the
next
morninge
by
tymes
arthur
and
Gouernar
and
all
other
lordes
his

went
to
the
chir●he
to

.
And
there
gouernar
dyd

And
whan
the
masse
was
ended
Arthur
ledd●
forth
Goue●nar
to
his
chambre
to
be
armed
.
And
whan
he
was
surely
armed
he
lept
on
a
mighty
courser
.
And
arthur
and
Hector
were
armed
&
mounted
on
theyr
horses
to
kepe
the
feelde
to
the
entent
that
there
should
be
no
treason
and
the
erle
of
●loys
went
to
the
place
whereas
they
should
fight
.
Than
by
the
tyme
was
armed
syr
aunsell
&
came
in
the
plase
,
so
than
there
was
brought
forth
sayntes

&
by
his
aduise
she
was
put
into
the
bed
to
arthur
in
the
stede
of
Perron

wife
.
And
whan
he
had
thus
sworne
he
kyssed
the
sayntes
and
rose
like
an
hardy
knight
▪
and
than
syr
aunsel
d●d
swere
with
great
fere
and
trouble
.
How
that
gouernar
sayde
by
hym
vntrulye
.
And
so
he
r●se
with
great
trouble
and
payne
,
and
all
the
people
that
saw
him
sayd
that
he
had
an
euyll
countenaunce
&
be
semyng
shold
be
in
the
wronge
.
And
whan
they
were
both
mounted
on
theyr
horses
.
Than
was
it
cried
by
an
haraude
of
armes
that
eche

Than
sayde
arthur

And

speres
to
theyr
fi●tes
like
hardye
knightes
and
ful
of
great
valure
,
howbeit
syr
aunselles
valure
was
not
to
be
compared
with
Gouernar
,
fo
:
Gouernar
had
ben
a
man
greatly
to
be
redoubted
.
And
after
the
breking
of

And
in
the
retorninge
they
set

And

but
god
kept

Than

And
with
the

wher
wyth
the

wherfore
he
was

gr●atly
praysed

And
some

And
whan
Gouernar
saw

that
he
wolde
not

wherwith
syr

Than
al

There
with

Herken
to

this

moost
fayrest
place
in
all
the
worlde
,
where
I
sawe
a
fresshe
fountayne
and
me
thought
the
beau●te
therof
caused
me
to
syt
downe
on
the
brym
therof
,
and
with
the
fayr
clere
water
therof
washed
my
face
and

,
and
fynally
I
cast
vp

alofte
,
and
on
my
ryght

me
thought
I
sawe
the
richeste
pauilion
pyghte
that
euer
was
sene
,
and
in
the
hyght
of
this
pauylyon
was
an
egle
of

the
richest
and
the
fayreste
that
coude
be

that
it
pleased
me
so
muche
that
I
coudle
not
be
satysfyed
with

therof
,
&
me
thought
it
flykered
aboute
me
wyth
her
wynges
in
the
sygne
of
grete
loue
,
and
at
the
last
me
thought
I
sawe
where
came
to
me
warde
a
grete
griffon
foule
and
horrible
and
he
broughte
wyth
hym
a
great
multytude
of

wherwith
all
the
earth
aboute
me
was
couered

and
me
thought
they
wolde

who
was
ryght
ferde
and
couered
her
euer

and
loked

In

she
wolde
haue

And
than
me
thoughte
I
toke
my

and
so
fought
with
this
gryffon
&
al
these
serpentes
,
by
whome
me
thought
I
suffered
moche
payne
in
great
peryll
,
but
at
the
laste
me
thoughte
there
came
a
turtyll
to
helpe
me
&
brought
with
her
many
douues
.
And
out
of
an
other

I
sawe
where
came
a
sparhawke
acconpanied
with
many
faucons
.
And
all
these
dyde
me
suche
socoure
that
we
slewe

and
all

And
sodaynely
than

And
they

And
she

me
soo

These
.iiii.
kinges
were
subiectes
to
the
mighty
king
of
Doroloys
Emendus
.
who
hadde
to
w●se
a
noble
lady
named
Fenyce
by
the
reason
of
the
countre
that
she
was
borne
in
For
it
was
named
fenyx
bycause
in
that
coun●ree
bredde
a
byrde
that
was
called
fenyx
.
And
in
all
the
worlde
there
is
neuer
but
one
,
&
as
it
is
sayde
whan
she
is
olde
and
auncyent
there
she
maketh
her
neste
of
drye
thornes
on
the
heyghte
of
an
hye
mountayne
as
nere

sonne
as
she
can
so
that
by
the
hete
of
the
sonne
the
nest
quickeneth
&
flameth
on

,
&
the
she
in
brenneth
herselfe
,
&
of
her
asshes
there
is
another
fenyx
●ngendred
.
This
sayde
lady
Fenyce
wyfe
to
kynge
Emendus
was
quene
by
enherytaunce
of
the
clere
toure
the
whiche
was
a
noble
ryche
cyte
.
And
by
greate
force
she
had
subdued
●he
cytye
of

of
cornite
of
Macedonye
,
of

.
She
was
a
ryght
hye
&
a
mighty
pryncesse
,
&
right
good
&
vertuous
,
so
that
it
was
harde
than
to
haue
founde
ony
ladye
comperable
to
her
.
And
so
it
fortyned
in
the
freshe
mery
moneth
of

,
as
at
the
feast
of

the
kyng
Emendus

at

thys

was

And
the
fyrst

of

the

was

And

And

By

IN

This

And

was
vtterly

,
it
was
bl●cker

it
smelled
a●homynably

Al●o
it
was
full
of

Ioynynge
to

there

so
hye
that
no

coude
mount

neyther

that
the

wyth

coud●
scant
reyse
or

And
among

there
was
a

of

of
a

way
,
wherby
one
myghte

And
in
certayne
places
there
were
barbycanes
that
defended

.
And
vnder
these

there
was

Soo

And

The

To

Noyr

And

And

for

And
out

men
myghte

And

The

For

she
had
pyght
a
ryche
pauylyon
with
a
splayed
egle
of
golde
in
the

there
of
,
the
whiche
was
the
same
egle
that
Arthur
sawe
in
his
dreme
,
and
in
a
nother

by
was
the

the

the

neyther

The

¶
Howe

shoulde

besyde

.
Capitulo
.xix.
SO
thus
as
ye
haue
hearde
before
the
mighty
kyng
Emendus
was
agreed
that
Fenyce
hys
quene
should
lye
a
chyl●bedde
at
the
port
Noyre
,
and
that
her
chy●de
shold
be
borne
vp
to
the
mount
of

.
And
he
ordayned
that
the
kynge
of
Orq●anye
her
cosyn
germaine
shoulde
go
wyth
her
,
and
the
archebyssh●pp
of
Cornyte
,
who
was
brother
to
the
kynge
Emendus
.
And
also
the
quene
of
I
ma●lyte
,
and
manye
other
ladyes
&
damoyselles
,
●ords
sand
knyghtes
sholde
acompa●ye
thys
q●ene
F●nyce
.
And
soo
there
they
made
to
the
kinges
and
the
.xii
perres
of
the
realme
faythfu●l
assuraunce
that
they
wou●de
make
true
reporte
of
euery
thynge
that
they
shoulde
here
or
see
in
the
mo●nte
of
a●uentures
.
And
also
the
kynge
Emendus
and
the
twelue
per●sswa●e
and
made
fa●thful
assuraunce
that
what
so
euer
sholde
be
d●st●nied
of
that
chylde
that
they
shoulde
not

on●
p●ynte
the

desteney
b●●
to
kepe
and
to
mayntayne
the
chylde
lyke
the
sonne
of
a
kynge
.
And
of
thys
promyse
there
was
made
a
●hater
sealed
by
kyng
Emendus
and
by
his
twelue
perres
of
hys
realme
,
and
was
deliuered
into
the
k●pynge
of
the
arch●byshoppe
of
Cornyte
.
And
so●
by
that
time
it
was
season
to
her
masse
.
And
whan
the
masse
was
fynyshed
the
●ables
were
layde
,
and
ther
they
were
serued
ryght
rychely
as
it
apertayned
too
the
honoure
of
suche
a
noble
kynge
.
And
thys
feeste
and
tryumphe
endured
the
space
of
.xv.
dayes
.
Than
the
kynge
Emendus
dyd
gyue
greate
plente
of
golde
and
syluer
,
horse
and
harneys
to
lordes
and
knyghtes
,
and
euery
persone
aft●r
theyr

,
and
so
euerye
man
repayred
into

own
countres
,
and
the
q●ene
Fenyce
prepayred
al
her
be
synesse
for
to
remoue
to
the
mounte
perillous
.
And
so
●he
toke
her
leue
of
the
king
and
toke
wyth
her
all
suche
compan●e
as
ye
haue
hearde
d●u●sed
heare
before
,
and
laboured
so
longe
in
her
iorney
that
at
the
laste
shee
a●yued
at
the
porte
Noyre
,
and
went
to
the
palays
before
the
gate
of
the
castle
,
and
there
she
remayned
tyll
by
pro●ces
of
tyme
that
●he
was
brought
a
child
bedde
with
a
fayre
doughter
.
Than
the
archeb●shoppe
toke
the
chylde
vp
in
hys
armes
and
wente
there
wyth
to
the
mount
peryll●us
.
And
w●●he
him
was
the
k●nge
of
Orqua●●e
and
the
quene
of
Ismaelit
And
whan
they
were
aboue
on
the

they
founde
there
a
fayre
and
a

and
sawe
where
there
was
a

rounde

and
on

there
was
pyghte
a

wher
in
there
was
ordayned
a

In
the
whyche
place
they
layd
fayre

And
than

there
by

&
se
what

Than
anone
it
began
to

And
within
a

and
where
al

the

that
the

nothing

to

who
was
quene

ouer

and
the

And
also

Egle

For
I
can
not

messenger
than

messenger
.
Syr
it
is
of
trouthe
how
that
ye

a
great
prynce
and
of
right
greate
power
,
and
also
syr
it
is
wel
knowen
how
that
my
strength
is
not
smal
,
for
I
think
as

of
the
worlde
.
Therfore

Certaynlye

and
I
thynke
I
cannot
set
mi
loue
in
no
place
so
well
and
nobly
as

therefore
syr
here
with
mine
owne
mouth
I
desyre
you
to
haue
her
in
mariage
.
A
syr
quod
the
king
it
may
not
be
,
for
she
maye
haue
none
other
mariage
but
suche
as
she
is
desteined
vnto
,
for
yf
that
anye
other
presume
to
take
her
he
is
but
vtterlye
loste
and
dead
.
And
also
I
haue
sworne
and
set

to
vpholde

,
and
neuer

Syr
sayde
the
Emperour
beleue
you
them
of
suche
fantasies
as

the
fayry
,
surely
syr
they
haue
no

nor
might
,
but
I
requyre
you

,
and
soo
wee
shal
be
togither
as

I
wil
be
glad
therof
:
but
I
promysed
to
my
quene
to
kepe
faythfullye
the
promys
that
I
had
.
In
the
name
of
god
sayd
the
Emperour
,
syr
your
queene
is
dead
&
past
,
who
shall
neuer
retorne
agayne
,
she
shal
neuer
demaunde
nor
sew
you
for
the
brekyng
of
anye
couenaunte
made
to
her
,
&
theyr
is
none
other
that
wil
be
so
hardy
to
reproue

For
yf

wherfore

And

wherfore

●ide
to
morow
towarde
cornyte
,
and
speke
wyth
her
and
know

in
thys
mater
.
So
be
it
in
the
name
of
god
quod
the
Emperour
.
And
on
the
nexte
day
be
tymes
they
lept
on
theyr
horses
&
rode
forth
to
Cornite
,
and
rode
so
longe
that
on
a
wednesday
they
arriued
at
the
citie
of
Cornite
,
&
so
went
to
the
palais
.
Than
the
archebysshop
came
to
se
the
kinge
,
and
brought
with
hym
Florence
.
And
than
they
all
together
wente
vp
in
the
palays
&
entred
into
a
fayre
chambre
.
Than
the
Emperour
and
the
kyng
set
them
downe
together
,
and
betwene
them
the
fayre
florence
.
And
at
the
laste
the
king
Emendus
sayd
.
Fayre
doughter
your
moder
is
departed
thys
lyfe
,
&
it
is
now
tyme
that
fro
hensforth
that
I
prouyde
for
your
noble
estate
,
ye
be
a
great
lady
and
a
puyssaunt
.
Therfore
I
wyl
mary
you
to
this
noble
Emperour
here
prensent
.
And
whan
Florence
hard
her
father
speke
to
her
of
mariage
all
her
blode
began
to
quake
and
trimbil
,
for
she
hated
the
Emperour
euer
sith
the
begynning
of
her
youth
,
how
be
it
she
answered
ryght
wysely
and
sayd
dere
lord
and
father
ye
know
wel
that
it
is
not
yet
.iii.
monethes
sith
the
death
of
my
lady
my
moder
.
And
yf
I
should
mary
me
so
newlie
I
shold
be
greatly
blamed
.
Therfore
syr
I
requyre
you
let
this
yere
passe
,
than
syr
I
wil
take
counsayle
&
tell
you
what
I
wil
do
.
And
whan
the
Emperour
hard
her
speke
so
reasonably
he
coude
not
endure
to
charge
her
any
ferther
as
than
.
and
acorded
to
abide
the
terme
of
her
desyre
.
And
behelde
wel
how
that
she
chaunged
colours
and
sore
trembled
,
&
so
dyd
the
kinges
her
father
also
.
How
be
it
he
made
no
semblaunt
.
And
so
they
were
together
a
longe
season
,
till
at
the
laste
she
toke
licence
of
them
and
departed
into
her
owne
chambre
sore
amased
and
so
abode
tyll
the
archebysshop
and
mayster
steuen
were
comen
fro
the
courte
.
And
as
sone
as
they
were
entred
into
the
chambre
of
Florence
,
they
saw
well
where
as
she
was
sitting
sore
sighing
and
wepinge
.
Than
the
bisshop
toke
her
by
the
hand
&
demaunded
of
her
why
she
made
that
lamentacion
.
As
helpe
me
god
vncle
sayde
Florence
,
my
lorde
my
fader
kepeth
not
well
the
couenauntes
that
he
made
to
my
lady
my
moder
,
for
now
he
is
in
the
mynde
to
marye
me
vnto
thys
Emperour
.
And
there
is
no
thinge
that
I
hate
so
muche
as
I
do
hym
.
Certaynlye
I
had
rather
to
suffre
death
than
to
haue
him
.
And
I
haue
no
lenger
respyte
than
the
ende
of
this
yere
,
why
madame
quod
mayster
Steuen
haue
ye
purchased
so
longe
a
respyte
.
In
fayth
I
faythfully
ensuyre
you
that
I
wyll
gyue
you
two
yere
lenger
,
for
I
waraunt
you
that
two
yere
after
your
daye
ye
shall
not
be
maried
to
him
.
Maystre
sayd
Florence
I
thanke
you
of
your
good
conforte
,
wel
quod
the
bysshop
the
Emperour
dothe
foly
to
demaunde
you
agaynst
your
wyl
.
For
perauenture
there
may
fortune
lytle
good
come
to
hym
therby
.
Than
the
bysshop
toke
her
by
the
hande
and
ledde
h●r
into
a
fayre
gardyne
to
●porte
her
.
And
so
on
a
fayre
grene
benche
she
satte
her
downe
betwene
the
bysshop
&
mayster
Steuen
,
and
soo
passed
the
tyme
with
many
goodli
sportes
.
And
than
it
began
to
waxe
sate
and
the
euenynge
was
very
clere
,
and
the
sterres
shone
ful
bryght
.
Than
mayster
Steuen
dyd
beholde
thē
a
gretere
space
and
at
the
last
he
said
,
madam●
for
certayn●
I
knowe
by
the
course
of
the
planet●es
that
there
is
a
knyght
comynge
in
to
this
countre
,
and
is
now
well
onwarde
on
his
waye
,
who
shall
achyue
the
aduentures
of
the
castell
of
the
porte
Noyr
or
this
yere
be
passed
.
And
surely
it
is
he
that
shall
haue
the
whyte
shyelde
and
the
swerde
Clarence
,
verelye
sayd
the
byshop
yf
this
be
of
trouthe
the
Emperoure
maye
goo
fysshe
in
an
other
place
for
here
he
hathe
well
fayled
,
for
I
am
sure
it
is
the
sam●
knyght
that
my
lady
Florence
is
predestynate
vnto
,
there
fore
I
am
ryghte
Ioyous
of
the
hurte
of
the
Emperour
.
And
howe
saye
you
mayster
do
you
not
hate
hym
,
yes
syr
thereof
he
may
be
as
sure
as
that
a
nell
of
clothe
wyll
make
his
hede
a
hode
,
whereat
the
bysshop
dyd
laughe
.
And
thus
they
were
longe
togyder
in
this
talkynge
t●ll
it
was
season
to
go
to
rest
.
Than
they
brought
Florence
to
her
chambre
and
departed
to
theyr
owne
lo●gynges
,
and
aboute
mydnyght
this
lady
awoke
.
And
than
fell
into
her
remembraunce
the
dyspleasure
that
she
had
to
the
Emperoure
,
and
as
she
was
thus
thynkynge
she
behelde
the
foure
mortees
of
waxe
the
stode
brennynge
before
her
beddes
fete
,
therwyth
she
sawe
where
th●re
came
in
to
the
chambre
a
fayre
lady
whyte
as
the
lylly
with
a
mantell
of
grene
,
hangynge
aboute
her
sholders
with
a
l●se
of
golde
,
and
a
crowne
of
golde
on
her
heade
,
and
she
helde
an
other
lady
by
the
hande
,
&
sayde
vnto
her
Fayre
syster
sawe
you
not
well
the
Leoparde
with
the
seuen
heades
all
crowned
wyth
golde
,
who
hath
the
loke
of
a
brim
bore
,
and
the
herte
of
a
lyon
,
the
body
of
armes
of
lede
,
&
the
fote
of
a
whyte
ha●te
And
whan
she
had
thus
sayde
the
other
lady
demanded
of
her
what
all
thys
myghte
meane
.
For
herein
are
dyuerse
thinges
to
be
consydered
.
Than
she
answered
and
sayd
,
syster
this
Leoparde
shall
haue
the
eagle
of
golde
that
is
on
my
pauylyon
,
&
by
hym
shall
the
gates
be
opened
of
my
castell
of
the
porte
Noyr
.
And
than
shall
all
the
enchauntementes
fayl
And
therewyth
bothe
these
ladyes
vanysshed
awaye
,
so
that
Florence
wyste
not
where
they
were
sodaynly
become
,
wherwyth
she
was
●ighte
sore
afrayed
for
she
wyst
not
what
it
myght
meane
.
In
lyke
case
the
same
vysyon
came
the
self
night
to
the
archebyshop
.
And
also
to
mayster
Steuen
where
as
they
laye
seuerally
eche

,
wherof
they
had
grete
mernayle
what
theyr
dreame
myghte
sygnyfye

And
within
a
lytle
space
after
the
lyghte
of
the
daye
began
to
apere
●han
the
archebyshop
rose
and
mayster
Steuen

Also
to

attendaunce
on

And
whan
it
was
tyme
to
synge
masse
.
mayster
Steuen
w●nte
fro
Florence
who
was
than
redy
apparayled
and
so
wen●e
to
churche
.
And
there
the
archebysshop
songe
masse
,
and
whan
it
was
fyn●shed
the
bysshop
saluted
Florence
,
&
demaunded
what
good
reste
she
had
taken
that
nyght
paste
.
As
god
helpe
me
dere
vncle
sayd
Florence
neuer
as
yet
came
to
me
suche
a
fortune
as
dyde
this
nyghte
,
nor
I
was
neuer
soo
afrayde
,
for
aboute
mydnyght
I
awoke
,
and
as
I
laye
wakyng
I
sawe
properly
before
my
bedde
the
moost
fayreste
fygure
of
a
lady
that
euer
I
sawe
,
and
she
had
a
crowne
of
goulde
on
her
heade
,
and
be
semynge
there
was
an
other
quene
in
her
companie
crowned
in
lyke
wyse
,
who
was
also
as
me
thoughte
a
very
fayre
lady
,
but
nothynge
to
the
regarde
of
the
other
quene
.
And
suche
wordes
me
thought
she
sayd
vnto
her
felowe
.
And
there
Florence
recounted
worde
for
worde
as
ye
haue
harde
h●re
before
of
all
herre
hole
vysyon
,
and
howe
that
they
were
sodayn●ly
vanysshed
awaye
fro
her
.
And
whan
the
byshoppe
hearde
thys
he
sayde
.
A
fayrenese
Florence
by
the
faith
that
I
owe
vnto
you
euen
in
like
case
as
ye
saye
it
fortuned
to
me
thys
same
nyght
,
&
for
certayne
I
thoughte
properly
it
had
ben

.
For
by
my
soule
the
quene
that
I
sawe
yf
yee
were
bothe
togyther
I
coude
not
dyscerne
the
one
fro
the
other
,
ye
res●mble
soo
nere
together
.
In
the
name
of
god
sayde
mayster
Steuen
thys
vysyon
appered
also
properlye
to
me
in
euery
thynge
as
ye
haue
rehersed
,
and
verely
also
I
thought
it
had
ben
my
ladye
Florence
heare
present
,
ve●elye
sayde
the
bishop
thys
thinge
is
not
thus
fortuned
to
vs
all
thre
wythout
some
reson
,
mayster
I
requyre
you
go
loke
what
significacion
it
may
be
of
.
Than
the
mayester
wente
frome
theym
and
entred
in
to
hys
chambre
and
toke
his
bokes
and
loked
on
thys
mater
so
longe
tyl
he
perceyued
fynally
the
mystery
thereof
.
And
so
came
agayne
to
Florence
,
and
sayd
to
the
bysshop
syr
let
vs
set
our
hertes
in
Ioye
and
rest
for
verely
my
lady
heare
nedeth
not
to
care
for
the
Emperoure
as
in
beynge
of
her
husb●nde
for
there
is
an

swet
and
fayre
,
who
is
the
fountayne
of
all
chyualry
,
for
hys
prowes
surmounteth
&
shall
do
all
other
.
Therefore
know
for
certaine
that
where
as
the
vision
shewed
vs
howe
that
out
of
the
west
shold
come
a
Leopard
that
which
signifieth
a
gentyll
knyghte
borne
about
the
countree
of
Fraunce
.
And
where
as
this
Leoparde
hath
the
loke
of
a
bore
,
&
the
hert●
of
al●on
.
In
lykewise
this
knight
is
the
hardiest
that
euer
was
boorne
.
And
where
his
bodi
shold
be
of
stele
,
betokeneth
that
there
is
no
knyght
so
stronge
&
harde
to
abyde
a
brounte
as
he
is
,
and
where
it
is
sayd
that
his
armes
be
of
leed
the
which
is
a
heuy
thinge
,
betokeneth
the
heuy
strokes
of
this
knight
the
which
cannot
be
susteyned
.
And
as
for
the
fete
of
the
hart
th●
whyche
is
a
lyght
beest
&
a
myghty
.
In
like
case
thys
knyght
is
stronge
&
lyghte
&
quycke
to
go
towarde
hys
enemyes
and
where
as
he
shall
haue
the
egle
the
whiche
is
souerayne
&
kynge
of
all
foules
.
In
like
forme
this
knyght
shall
haue
my
lady
Florence
who
is
quene
&
souerayne
of
al
beaute
&
rychesse
aboue
all
quenes
of
the
worlde
the
which
shal
be
the
confusion
of
the
Emperour
of
Inde
,
●●here
as
he
b●reth
.vii.
hedes
crowned
with
golde
s●gnyf●eth
that
this
knight
shal
bere
the
c●ownes
of

kingdomes
the
which
he
shal
conquere
wyth
his

And
where
a●
that

shall
be
opened
by

.
And
that
al

shal

,
representeth
the

of
him
that
shal
bete
doune

of

Noyre
&
●urely
thys
is
the
signyficacyon
of
oure
hole
dreame
or
vysyon
.
Therfore
it
is
necessarye
that
I
repayre
to
the
palats
of
the
port
noyre
to
knowe
whan
this
knight
cometh
And
too
see
by
hys
estate
wha●
man●r
a

he

,
verely

I
alowe
well

&
that
ye

thitherwarde
as

And
whan
Florence
herde
tydynges
of
thys
knyght
she
was
so
daynely
striken
with
so
loue
grete
that
fro
that
houre
forwarde
she
gaue
vnto

Thus
she
loued

and

I
haue
seen
some
thinges
of

yf

I
wolde
fayne
be
mayster
.
A
Hector
quod
Gouernar
a
manes
will
ought
euer
to
folow
the
ordre
of
reason
.
And
so
I
beleue
ought
yours
to
do
.
And
therwith
they
lefte
these
wordes
,
howe
be
it
all
that
lytle
or
nothinge
refrayned
Hectors
looke
,
for
alwayes
styll
he
behelde
this
lady
tyll
it
was
tyme
for
thē
to
go

restes
,
and
so
they
toke
their
leues
of
the
lady
and
thanked
her
for
the
great
ch●re
that
she
had
made
theym
.
And
on
the
nexte
day
be●ymes
they
departed
&
entred
into
the
forest
the
morninge
was
fayre
and
clere
and
warme
,
for
it
was
as
than
aboute
the
ende
of
apryl
.
So
these
lordes
rode
forth
in
gret
Ioy
tyll
at
the
last
Gouernar
sayde
to
Hector
,
syr
was
your
wyl
accomplysshed
this
last
night
,
where
as
ye
sayd
ye
wold
gladlye
fulfilled
youre
wyll
,
to
saye
the
trouth
I
thinke
your
wyll
was
on
our
hostes
,
who
was
both
fayre
and
yonge
.
By
my
fayth
quod
Hector
I
wold
haue
ben
●ight
glad
to
haue
fulfylled
my
wyl
with
her
,
for
vndoubted
she
is
fayre
and
gracyous
and
I
loue
her
with
all
my
herte
.
And
syr
what
was
your
wil
quod
Gouernar
,
by
my
fayth
sayde
Hector
,
that
she
should
haue
ben
all
night
in
myn
armes
&
I
in
hers
,
now
truly
syr
sayd
gouernar
that
wil
was
neyther
good
nor
honest
for
it
was
against
reason
for
the
good
lorde
her
husband
did
cause
her
to
rise
from
him
to
the
entente
to
honour
vs
and
to
kepe
vs
company
,
remembring
also
how
honestly
she
receyued
vs
,
&
so
good
there
as
we
had
of
her
.
And
syr
wolde
you
haue
than
done
velanye
to
the
good
lorde
as
to
haue
hadde
to
hys
wyfe
vnto
his
dishonoure
in
hys
owne
house
,
by
the
fayth
that
I
owe
vnto
god
it
hadde
no●
ben
well
doone
,
nor
yet
it
was
none
honest
thoughte
.
A
syr
Gouernar
quod
Hector
I
am
sure
ye
be
so
sage
in
scyence
that
ye
wyl
do
no
foly
,
wysdome
is
greate
if
the
ca●
neuer
touched
myl●e
,
as
much
to
say
as
whan
loue
toucheth●
wysedome
is
than
oftentymes
ou●rcome
.
well
as
for
al
that
{quod}
gouernar
it
maketh
no
mater
,
bu●
yet
I
say
as
I
sayde
that
it
should
not
haue
ben
wel
done
of
a
gentylman
to
haue
doone
as
ye
saye
for
it
were
rather
treason
so
●o
do
wherwith
Hector
began
to
be
sore
chafed
&
sayde
,
what
Gouernar
sayst
thou
that
I
am
a
traytour
,
thou
liest
falsely
I
was
neu●r
none
and
drew
nere
to
gouernou●
and
layd
his
hand
on
his
swe●de
,
than
sayd
Gouernar
stryke
me
not
.
I
saye
not
that
ye
be
a
traytoure
nor
ye
be
not
so
great
a
man
that
youre
noblenesse
for
thynketh
me
for
I
wolde
ye
were
greater
than
ye
are
,
yet
for
all
that
I
say
that
this
dede
accordinge
to
youre
wysshe
had
ben
treason
,
remembryng
the
trust
and
confidence
that
the
good
lorde
had
in
vs
,
and
in
the
coloure
thereof
to
haue
taken
his
wyfe
to
hys
dishonour
,
surely
I
say
it
is
no
thought
of
a
noble
man
wyth
the
which
wordes
Hector
was
so
chafed
and
drewe
his
swerde
&
stroke
Gouernar
on
the
helme
so
rudely
that
he
was
therwyth
sore
a
stonyed
▪
where
w●th
arthur
was
sore
dyspleased
and
blamed
greatli
Hector
therfore
.
And
than
Gouernar
sayde
syr
stryke
me
no
more
for
by
the
fayth
that
I
owe
to
our
lorde
yf
ye
doo
I
wyll
not
pardon
you
,
for
ye
shall
haue
as
good
as
ye
brynge
how
be
it
as
for
that
ye
haue
done
I
wyl
suffre
it
for
the
honoure
here
of
my
lord
arthur
and
for
the
great
lygnage
that
ye
be
of
,
why
good
syr
quod
Hector
what
wolde
ye
do
elles
any
great
hu●te
that
shall
be
soone
seene
,
and
so
stroke
Gouernar
agayne
on
the
helme
a
great
blowe
,
●her
with
Gouernar
drew
his
swerde
&
rudelye
stroke
Hector
on
the
helme
for
he
was
a
good
knight
,
and
so
there
began
a
great
&
a
sore
ba●ayle
betwene
these
two
knightes
.
And
arthur
dyd
his
payne
wyth
fayrenesse
to
depart
them
,
but
they
were
so
sore
dyspleased
and
chafed
eche
wyth
other
that
Arthur
coud
in
no
wyse
cause
them
to
leue
:
And
whan
arthur
saw
that
he
drewe
his
swerde
&
stroke
Hector
so
rudely
that
he
made
him
to
stoupe
down
to
the
necke
of
his
horse
,
&
with
an
other
stroke
he
stroke
Gouernar
so
sore
that
he
was
sore
aston●ed
therewith
&
●●e
had
fallen
fro
his
horse
,
&
than
Arthur
wolde
haue
recouered
on
him
a nother
stroke
,
but
Gouernar
went
from
hym
.
Than
arthur
came
to
Hector
and
wolde
haue
stryken
at
him
agayne
,
but
than
Hector
sayd
cosyn
what
wyll

doo
,
a●e
ye
dyspleased
with
me
ye
veryly
sayd
Arthur
ryght

shewed
to
you
your
folye
,
and
ye
therfore
haue
stryken
hym
here
in
my
presence
,
wherof
I
am
not
content
.
Syr
sayde
Hector
I
repente
me
but
he
dyspleased
me
sore
that
I
coude
not
refrayne
my selfe
as
at
that
tyme
,
well
quod
Arthur

And

vnto
my
cosyn
Hector
in
that
ye
haue
stryken
him
syr
sayde
Gouernar
wyth
a
ryght
good
wyll
.
Than
he
put

helme
&
desyred
Hectors
good
wyl
,
now
cosyn
Hector
quod
Arthur

syr
sayd
Hector
right
gladly
,
for
it
forthinketh
me
g●ea●ly
the
displeasu●e
that

ben
betwene

so
he

And
there
eche

entred
forthe

&
rode
forthe

and
the
messenger
that
they
had
met
with
the
day
before
,
and
there
eche
of
them
did
salute

.
Than
syr
Delalaunde
demaunded
of
Arthur
into
what
parties
he
wolde
drawe

vnto
.
Certaynly
sayd

And

I

&
for

cause
was

fyrst
taken
,
syr
yf
I
should

quod
syr

,
ye
should
than
know
some
thing
sounding
to

,
neuerthelesse

¶
How
that
syr
Delalaunde
shewed
to
Arthur
the
occasion
why
that
this
tornay
was
fyrst
taken
by
the
lorde
Beauiew
.
Cap.
xxvii
.
SYr
it
is
of
trouth
my
lorde
that
erle
of
Beauiew
hath
alwayes
loued
me
syth
the
beginning
of
my
youth
and
so
it
fortuned
whan
I
was
yonge
and
lusty
.
I
thought
to
go
playe
me
oute
of
myne
owne
countrey
acompanied
alonely
with
my
squyre
,
hoping
to
vaynquysshe
all
the
valure
of
the
worlde
.
And
so
at
the
last
I
came
into
the
land
of
myrpois
and
fell
therein
acqueyntaunce
with
two
noble
lordes
of
great
lygnage
,
who
dyd
me
great
honour
.
And
one
of
them
had
a
right
fayre
lady
to
his
wyfe
named
the
fayre
lady
of
Rossylo●
,
for
whome
this
tornay
was
fyrst
taken
.
And
she
had
such
fauoure
in
me
and
loue
that
within
a
lytle
whyle
I
was
made
chyefe
ruler
and
senesshall
of
all
her
countrey
,
and
was
of
her
strayte
counsayle
.
And
nothinge
done
without
it
had
be
done
by
me
.
For
she
trusted
more
in
me
than
in
any
other
person
of
the
worlde
.
And
in
like
case
I
was
wyth
the
good
lorde
her
husbande
And
so
I
continued
in
thys
loue
and
fauour
well
the
space
of
syxe
yeres
and
more
and
it
fortuned
one
yere
that
for
my
sake
they
kept
a
christmas
wyth
open
courte
:
wherto
came
many
knightes
of
the
countrey
.
And
whan
the
fyrst
daye
of
this
began
this
lady
of
Rossilon
wife
to
my
sayd
lorde
,
she
was
as
than
fresh
lye
appa●ayled
as
it
apertayned
to
the
feast
and
to
her
estate
.
At
whiche
time
to
me
she
semed
so
fayre
so
gentil
,
and
so
proper
that
I
thought
I
had
neuer
seen
her
half
so
fayre
before
.
And
as
than
her
beaute
stroke
so
inwardely
to
my
hearte
that
I
lost
therby
both
meate
and
drinke
that
euery
day
I
began
to
waxe
so
lent
of
body
that
euery
man
had
meruayle
what
I
eyled
.
And
demaunded
often
tymes
of
me
what
was
the
cause
that
I
so
enpayred
,
but
euer
I
did
as
priuely
as
I
could
but
at
the
ende
it
auayled
me
nothinge
.
For
at
the
laste
loue
constrayned
me
to
shew

A

And
so

Than

he
offred
me
to
haue
forsaken
his

and
to
haue
gone

he
loued
me
so
entyerly
.
And
so
at
the
laste
with
much
sorow
I

on
a
night
and
dysgysed
my selfe

tyl

And
than
thys

in
the

window
where
as
she
and
I
made
our

And
than
I
made
so
many
tokens
&
sygnes
that
at
the
last
she
perceyued
me
,
&
than
she
began
to
smyle
,
and
whan
her

saw
her

he
demaunded
the
cause
why
.
And
she
answered

In

he
hath
before
this

desyred
me
of

,
and
in
a
maner
his

was
impor●unate
.
And
the
loue
that
he
bare
me
was
so
feruent
that
he
was
right
sore
dyseased
thereby
,
the
whiche
was
right
well
seen
by
hym
whyle
he
was
here
with

and
so
there
this

And

And
syr
ye
maye
se
by
hym
how
that
these
folysshe

And
this
is
the
cause
that
he
departed
f●o

not
endure
no

the
great
tourment
that

And

A

For

Than

I

It

that

soo
that
all

Than
the

th●refore
madame
for

cause
the

your

to
absente
hym selfe
out
of

,
and
in

I
thynke
verely

Than
Arthur
rusht
into
the
gretest
prease
,
and
strake
on
the
ryght
hande
and
on
the
left
so
gret
strokes
and
so
heauy
that
it
was
maruayle
,
for
there
was
none
that
euer
abode
hym
but
he
auoyded
the
arson
of
hys
sadel
and
fell
to
the
earth
.
At
the
last
Arthur
espyed
where
there
was
a
squy●●
holdyng
in
hys
hande
a
spoke
or
a
great
pece
of
an
olde
broken
charyot
,
the
whyche
he
pulled
out
of
his
hande
wyth
suche
a
myghte
that
he
caste
downe
the
squyer
flatte
too
the
earthe
,
where
at
the
ladyes
and
damoyselles
dydde
laughe
.
And
than
Arthur
put
vp
hys
sworde
to
the
entente
that
he
should
mayme
or
hurte
no
man
,
but
with
that
pece
of
the
charyot
he
thrust
in
to
the
prese
and
gaue
therewith
so
great
and
heuy
strokes
that
all
that
he
touched
wente
flatte
to
the
earth
.
For
he
was
of
that
condycyon
that
the
more
he
hadde
to
do
,
the
more
grewe
hys
strength
▪
and
vertue
,
he
vnbarred
helmes
and
claue
a
soun●der
sheldes
,
and
maruaylously
bet
downe
knightes
,
for
whome
someuer
he
touched
were
so
astonyed
that
eyther
he
auoyded
the
sadell
,
or
elles
hys
horse
bare
hym
in
a
traunce
all
aboute
the
fyelde
.
And
alsoo
Hector
and
Gouernar
dydde
as
well
for
theyr
partes
as
anye
knyghtes
ought
or
myghte
doo
.
Soo
it
fortuned
as
Arthur
wente
searchynge
the
renkthes
and
preses
he
encountred
the
erle
of
Foys
,
who
had
nygh
vnhor●ed
one
of
the
knyghtes
o●
the
erle
of
Beau●eus
partye
,
than
Arthur
prycked
forth
hys
horse
and
brake
the
earle
●oo
rudely
that
he
thr●st
downe
both
horse
and
man
flatte
to
the
the
e●ch
than
Arthur
turn●d
●gayne
to
hym
,
and
whether
he
wolde
or
not
he
caused
hym
to
be
yeld●●
pry●oner
to
the
earle
of
Bea●●eu
who
was
lorde
of
that
tournay
on
hys
partye
.
Than
the
knyghtes
of
hys
turnay
assembled
them
togyther
by
plumpes
here
.x
and
there
.xv.
and
yonder
.xx.
and
soo
fought
egerly
togyder
,
soo
that
whan
one
was
fallen
another
dyd
〈◇〉
hym
.
Some
laughed
and
some
playned
,
but
A●thur
was
euer
in
the
mooste
thyckest
of
the
prese
,
and
fared
so
amonge
them
as
the
wolfe
doth
among
shepe
and
layd
on
wyth
so
greate
and
heauye
strokes
that
he
frusshed
downe
all
that
euer
he
touched
.
Than
the
earle
of
Beauieu
saye
,
and
so
dyd
all
other
knyghtes
how
that
they
neuer
sawe
knyghte
of
so
grete
vertue
,
nor
in
valu●e
in
dedes
of
a●mes
.
The
ladyes
and
damoyselles
also
gretly
maruayled
at
hym
,
and
sayde
that
better
than
he
is
was
the●e
neuer
none
.
And
they
concluded
amonge
them
that
he
was
lykely
too
attayne
to
wynne
the
crowne
of
that
tournaye
,
if
he
continued
hys
prowes
accordynge
too
hys
begynnynge
.
So
than
it
fortuned
that
a
great
parte
of
the
Marshals
company
ranne
al
at
ones
on
the
erle
of
N●uers
and
on
his
company
,
who
were
farre
ouermarched
whe●
for
●he
was
sore
be
stadde
and
lost
many
horses
and
many
of
his
knightes
sore
beten
,
&
hym selfe
ouerthrowen
downe
from
his
horse
and
was
lykely
to
haue
be
raken
&
yelded
to
●he
M●rshall
But
than
an
hera●de
of
armes
b●gan
to
crye
and
sayd
.
Ha
Arthur
of
B●ytayne
where
art
thou
nowe
the
erle
of
Neuers
is
beten
&
nere
taken
prysoner
.
And
Arthur
whan
he
hearde
that
,
who
as
than
had
by
the
helpe
of
Hector
&
Gouernar
dyscomfyted
a
great
route
of
knyghtes
And
whan
he
espyed
the
erle
of
Neuers
on
the
ground
,
he
sported
forth
hys
hor●e
and
●anne
into
the
thyckest
of
the
prease
and
strake
so
the
fyrst
that
he
encountred
that
he
fell
downe
to
the
erthe
both
hors
and
man
than
he
strake
on
the
right
syde
and
on
the
lefte
wyth
so
myghtye
strokes
and
heauy
that
he
bet
downe
all
that
was
before
hym
,
so
that
none
durst
abyde
hym
.
And
also
Hector
and
Gouernar
layde
on
so
on
all
sydes
that
al
that
were
before
theym
trembled
for
feare
.
And
so
by
clene
force
in
the
spite
of
al
his
enemyes
he
horsed
agayne
the
earle
of
Neuers
,
and
whan
he
was
thus
remounted
Arthur
than
lepte
agayne
intoo
the
prese
and
dyd
maruayles
with
hys
handes
,
for
he
claue
asonder
sheldes
and
vnbarred
helmes
,
and
bette
downe
knygh●es
by
great
heapes
.
Thus
was
Arthur
regarded
of
al
people
who
sayde
eche
to
other
.
Ihesu
what
a
wonders
good
k●ighte
is
yonder
,
god
defende
&
kepe
hym
And
the
yonge
kynge
of
Malogres
had
hys
eyen
euer
vpon
hym
,
and
sayd
to
the
dolphyn
.
I
thynke
yonder
knyghte
be
none
earthly
man
I
wenche
be
some
spyryte
of
the
ayre
,
for
he
all
confoundeth
.
Than
the
ladye
of
Rossylon
sayd
to
the
marshals
syster
.
Madame
ye
haue
done
ryghte
well
,
for
I
beleue
surely
ye
haue
prayed
your
broder
that
he
sholde
do
no●
hurte
to
these
straunge
knightes
,
and
al
the
other
ladyes
had
●●ght
greate
sporte
at
the
mery
gestyng
of
these
twoo
ladyes
And
thus
alwaies
Arthur
was
fighting
and
at
laste
there
were
.iii.
knyghtes
an
al
at
ones
on
the
erle
of
Forest
and
bet
hym
downe
to
the
earth
and
wold
haue
taken
hym
prysoner
.
But
w●an
Arthur
sawe
the
erle
at
that
myschefe
he
spored
hys
hors
thy
derward
,
and
the
fyrst
that
he
encountred
he
braue
downe
flatte
to
the
earth
,
and
the
seconde
he
toke
in
hys
armes
and
rasshed
hym
out
of
the
sadell
and
cast
hym
downe
on
hym
that
he
had
before
ouerthrowen
,
the
whych
greued
hym
ryght
sort
,
for
the
knyght
was
grete
and
heauy
because
of
the
harneys
that
was
on
hym
,
than
he
that
laye
vndernethe
sayde
.
A
syr
ye
be
but
yll
welcome
to
me
nor
he
that
sendeth
you
hyther
,
I
praye
god
he
may●
haue
some
yll
aduen●u●e
,
for
ye
haue
all
too
brused
me
wyth
youre
fallynge
.
Than
Arthur
tooke
the
knyghtes
horse
and
caused
the
erle
of
Forest
to
mount
thereon
.
And
Arthur
put
hym selfe
agayne
into
the
thyckest
prese
and
began
agayne
to
fyght
as
fresshely
as
though
he
had
done
nothynge
before
of
all
that
daye
,
soo
that
he
was
dradde
in
euery
place
,
for
there
was
none
durst
abyde
hym
but
al
fledde
fro
hym
,
soo
at
the
last
he
came
where
as
the
chiefe
standarde
was
▪
where
as
he
found
the
Marshall
,
who
dyd
hys
payne
to
bete
downe
all
that
was
afore
hym
,
at
whyche
time
he
had
stryken
fro
Gouernar
his
shyelde
And
therwyth
Arthur
strake
hym
on
the
helme
so
rudely
that
he
draue
him
down
too
the
earthe
all
astonyed
,
and
Arthur
toke
hys
horse
and
gaue
it
to
Hector
for
hys
horse
fayled
hym
he
was
so
sore
wounded
,
and
than
Hector
mounted
on
hym
.
And
this
stroke
was
seene
of
the
kynge
and
of
the
dolphyn
,
and
of
all
the
ladies
and
damoysels
,
and
they
all
sayde
that
the
Marshal
had
bene
the
best
knyght
of
all
the
worlde
,
but
nowe
he
hath
mette
hys
mayster
,
for
certaynely
yonder
fayre
knyghte
surmounteth
in
prowesse
all
other
knyghtes
of
the
worlde
.
Than
the
lady
of
Rossylon
sayd
vnto
the
Marshalles
syster
.
Madame
youre
broder
is
not
so
yll
and
myscheuous
as
ye
spake
of
here
before
▪
so
ye
may
behold
these
straunge
knyghtes
howe
they
are
before
hym●
and
yet
he
dooth
no●hynge
too
theym
,
I
thynke
he
slepeth
,
for
ye
maye
se
yonder
howe
styll
he
lyeth
on
the
grounde
,
for
al
that
season
he
lay
styl
on
the
earthe
sore
astonyed
in
a
greate
traunce
.
And
whan
all
the
knyghtes
of
hys
partye
saw
hym
lye
so
styll
vpon
the
grounde
they
feared
least
he
had
bene
dead
,
and
sayde
that
one
vnto
that
other
.
Yonder
is
the
deuyll
,
I
thynke
he
wyll
confounde
vs
all
,
therefore
let
vs
depart
out
of
thys

,
and
therwyth
they
al
went
theyr
wayes
.
●
so
there
remayned
styll
Arthur
,
Hector
,
and
Gouernar
.
And
whan
that
the
yong
kynge
and
the
Dolphyn
and
manye
other
saw
Arthur
alone
in
the
fielde
they
came
to

and
●alewed
hym
and
sayd
.

Syr
in

sayde
the

,
it
is
good
ryghte
than
that
ye

.
And
as
they
were
thus
talking
togythe●
the
Marshal
rose
from
the
grounde
,
and
whan
he
sawe
that
the
tourney
was
done
and
fynysshed
and
that
he
hadde
done
nothynge
to

that
had
beaten
hym
downe
,
he
was
ryghte
sore
dyspleased
,
and
than
he
sente

to
the

of

desyrynge
hym
for

and
how

This

founde
the
Erle
of
Beamen
in

of
the
yonge

and
of

.
And
than
h●
sayde
.
Syr

By

and
be
concen●e
of

,
wherefore
it
is
reason
that
he
now
resteth
hym selfe
,
for
the
kynge
ful
well
thought
that
the
Marshal
woulde
not
be
in

tyl
that

A
syr
sayde
Arthur
the

is
not

weary
,
and
he
wolde
thynke
my

Uere●y
syr
sayde
Arthur
wyth

So
than
there
was
graun●ed
too
be

on

.
Than
syr
Guy
de
la

and
ledde

So
than
Arthur
toke

of

who
wolde

And

and
sayd
wyth

beholde

Than
whan
Arthur
was
vnarmed
the
erle
of
Beamen
kept
him
company
,
and
also
Hector
and
Gouernar
were
vnarmed

Than

Ue●ely

in

your

ye

wel

wysely

Fayre

A

For

.
Syr

wherefore

whoo

but
beholde
your
great
bounte
and

,
where
wyth

gretly
endued
,
but
syr
that
I
said
was
because
I
sawe
my

.
Than
came
to
theym

For

And

Syr

T●an
the

Was

But
the

Than
Arthur
demaunded
incontinent
for

Than
syr
Guy
de

wente

〈…〉
the

and
praied
god
for
to

the
honour
of

.
For
thei
said
how
that
the

and
of
an

wil●ull

,
wherfore
thei
praied

Than

by

thy

sayd
the

Fayre

,
at

who

as

Than
Arthur
and
the
Marshall
both
dyde
arme
them
and
whan
thei
were
bothe
in
the
felde
ther
was
brought
to
them
grete
speres
and
than
thei
spurred
their
horses
with
so
great
randowne
that
the
blode
dasht
oute
of
their
sydes
,
for
thei
were
bothe
good
and
redoubted
knightes
,
but
●he
Marshal
was
not
to
be
compared
vnto
Arthur
for
sith
Arthur
was
fyrst
made
knyghte
he
fered
no
man
lyuynge
,
wherfore
the
Marshall
dyde
folye
to
enterpryse
ony
thynge
agaynst
hym
,
but
pryde
dooth
oftentymes
many
harmes
to
his
mayster
,
the
Marshall
at
the
fyrst
course
strake
Arthur
and
brake
his
spere
to
his
fyste
,
but
Arthur
for
all
that
moued
no
more
than
though
there
had
ben
but
a
rede
broken
vpon
hym
.
But
he
strake
the
Marshall
soo
●udelye
that
he
bare
downe
horse
and
man
to
the
erth
Than
began
to
laugh
al
the
ladyes
and
damoyselles
,
knyghtes
,
and
squyers
.
Than
the
lady
of
Rossylon
sayd
to
dame
blaunche
.
Madame
youre
broder
is
not
so
fell
and
so
outragious
as
I
had
wende
that
he
had
bene
,
for
he
taketh
no
more
of
the
erth
but
his
owne
length
,
I
thynke
he
slepeth
,
beholde
howe
pryuely
he
lyeth
styll
.
And
han
the
Marshall
awoke
out
of
hys
traunce
he
was
sore
ashamed
in
that
he
was
so
ouerthrowen
and
demaunded
yf
he
had
ouerthrowen
Arthur
,
than
it
was
shewed
hym
naye
,
wherwith
he
was
ryght
sore
displeased
Yet
than
agayne
he
prayed
Arthur
on
his
knyghthode
that
he
wolde
Iust
with
hym
an
other
course
.
But
all
that
euer
herde
hym
thought
he
played
the
proude
fole
and
counseyled
hym
the
countrary
,
but
all
that
auayled
not
,
for
he
sayde
he
wolde
nedes
yet
Iuste
ones
agayne
.
And
whan
that
Arthur
herde
hym
of
that
mynde
,
he
had
greate
dysdayne
thereat
&
wexed
angry
in
his
herte
to
considre
his
folysh
presumptuous
mynde
,
and
sayde
well
if
he
wyll
nedes
abyde
the
seconde
I
thynke
he
wyll
gladlye
let
the
thyrde
passe
.
So
than
they
toke
muche
greater
speares
than
they
had
before
,
and
in
grete
yre
ranne
togyther
so
egerly
that
it
semed
the
earth
enfoundred
vnder
theym
,
and
the
Marshall
stroke
Arthur
ryghte
rudely
,
for
he
was
a
good
knyghte
,
and
sheuered
his
spere
all
to
peces
,
But
Arthur
hyt
him
with
his
spere
the
which
was
great
and
bygge
,
so
that
the
sadell
paytrell
,
girthes
and
all
brast
,
and
hors
and
man
wente
to
the
grounde
so
rudely
that
wyth
the
fall
that
the
Marshal
had
one
of
his
armes
broken
,
and
also
two
of
his
rybbes
,
and
his
body
sore
brused
so
that
he
laye
styl
a
greate
season
with
out
mouynge
,
and
than
all
the
knyghtes
that
sawe
the
stroke
were
gretely
abasshed
and
sayd
eche
to

how
that
the
Marshall
was
beten
downe
to
the
erth
both
horse
and
man
,
and
in
greate
ieopardy
of
his

.
☞
Howe
that
Arthur
was
crowned
to
be

of
all
the

of

And
they
promysed
hym

in
euery

agenst

the

Isabell
,
and
had
betwene

two
a
fayre

a
gracyous
doughter
named
Alyce
.
Ioynynge
to
thys
Erledome
there
marched
a
duchy
wherin
there
was
a
Duke
whiche
was
named
Malaquys
,
a
cruel
man
and
an
enuyons
.
And
thys
Duchy
was
called
Orgoule
,
and
thys
duke
had
often
and
manye
tymes
demaunded
of
this
erle
,
his
doughter
dame
Alyce
to
haue
in
maryage
,
but
the
erle
nor
the
good
lady
his
wyfe
wolde
in
no
maner
of
wyse
graunte
therto
,
bycause
of
the
euyll
condycyons
that
were
wythin
this
Duke
.
And
whan
that
the
Duke
sawe
that
he
coulde
not
gette
this
fayre
lady
Alyce
he
bare
than
in
his
herte
grete
heate
and
enuy
to
the
erle
her
father
,
in
soo
muche
that
at
the
last
,
thys
duke
had
knowlege
vpon
a
daye
howe
that
the
Erle
was
gone
to
chase
in
the
forest
.
And
therby
hys
prepenced
malyce
caused
this
Earle
shamefully
for
to
be
slayne
and
murdered
.
And
whan
that
the
Erle
was
thus
myscheuously
slayne
,
he
was
brought
home
to
his
wyfe
whiche
was
ryght
sorowful
for
his
deth
,
&
made
hym
to
be
honourably
buryed
.
But
this
sorowfull
la●y
in
noo
wyse
coulde
ve●yly
tell
how
that
he
was
slayne
,
but
she
had
grete
suspecte
to
the
duke
.
And
soo
within
halfe
a
yere
after
the
duke
came
vnto
this
counte●●e
and
demaunded
of
her
Dame
Alyce
her

but
the
countes●e
bycause
●●e
had

of
the

her
husbonde
wolde
in
no

graunte
therto
,
nor
also
this
fayre
mayden
Alyce
wolde
in
noo
wyse
haue
hym
to
dye
therfore
.
And
whan
the
duke
perceiued
that
he
might
not
haue
her
at
his
pleasure
he
had
g●●te
●esp●te
therof
,
and
soo
defyed
the
coun●esse
and
assembled
a
grete
hoost
and
be
●yeg●●

of
Brewle
,
and
wasted
al

and
made
hys
auowe
that
he
woulde
not

And

And

what
was

And

Than
Arthur
demaunded

cause
,
and
they
shewed
hym
howe
that
the

of

demaunded

and
how
that

bycause

And

I

By

But

well
quod

And

And

Than

And

And
whan

Saynte

And
whan

And

who
was

suche

Than
the

fell

on

but
he
defended
hym
lyke

.
Than
Gouernar

And
whan
syr

howe
be

the

And
whan

was
ryght
sorowfull
,
and
spurred
hys
horse
and
habandoned
hymselfe
amonge
his

,
and
Gouernar
in
lyke
wyse
,
who
gaue
such

that
he
confounded
that
euer

attayned
vnto
tyl
at
the

his

fayled
vnderneth
hym
and
fell
to
the
grounde
,
and
than
his
enemyes
fell
vpon
hym
on
all
sydes
but
he
fought
so
fyersly
that
none
durst
approche
to
hym
,
for
he
confounded
all
that
euer
he
attayned
vnto
,
and
syr
Gace
folowed
hym
as
nere
as
euer
he
coude
,
but
for
all
that
Gouernar
was
so
ouermatched
that
he
was
taken
prysoner
,
and
x
.
other
knightes
pertaynynge
to
the

of
syr

,
and
so
they
were
ledde
towarde

and
at

tyme
Arthur
was
among
the

cuttynge
of

betynge
downe
of

and
at

&
rushte
in

and
the
fyrst
that
he
encountred
wyth
▪
he
departed
lyfe

body
asonder
and
he
smote
the
heed
from

by
the

of

they
brought
to
deth
al
those

ledde
forth
syr
gouernar

and
soo
remounted

Than
Arthur
strake

draue
asonder
sheldes
,
and
frushed
to
death
all
that
euer

soo
that
all
fledde

for
there
was
none

A

I

and
caused
hym

but
as

And

in

Sir

Syr

and
also
must
Iust
agaynst

syr
the
maner
is

In

Gouernar
this

Iustyce
I

I
re●ese
frely

Than
all
those

mounted

all
armed

who
were

the

ouer

tayle
and
brused
sore

so
that
he
coude
not

And
so

brouhht

with

and
than
there
encountred

But

and
than
sodenly
the
fourth
ymage
began
terrybly
to
blowe
his
horne
,
therwith
a●thu●
loked
behind
him
&
espyed
a
great
g●aune
com●ng
to
him
warde
,
who
was
.xv.
fote
of
l●ngth
,
betynge
togeder
his
tethe
as
though
they
had
bene
hamers
stri●inge
on
a
stythy
who
had
in
his
hand
a
great
axe
,
wherof
the
blade
was
wel
th●e
fote
lon●
,
the
whiche
was
so
longe
&
sharpe
that
it
would
cutte
clene
a
sonder
euery
thynge
that
it
touched
.
And
whan
thys
gyaunt
sawe
these
lyons
dede
he
was
●o
sore
dyspleased
that
he
was
all
in
arage
and
so
rowled
vp
his
eyen
and
dashte
togyder
his
tethe
,
and
ran
fyerselye
at
Arthur
thynkynge
to
haue
stryken
of
hys
head
,
but
Arthur
feared
moche
●he
stroke
and
lepte
asyde
,
whereby
the
stroke
wente
besyde
hym
and
dasht
in
to
panement
●o
●udely
that
the
blade
of
the
weapen
entred
therin
Iuste
to
the
heade
,
&
than
Arthur
strake
him
with
his
swe●de
but
the
stroke
mounted
vp
agayne
and
wold
in
no
wyse
enter
,
for
he
was
harneysed
with
the
skynne
of
a
serpent
,
the
whiche
was
so
hard
that
no
wepen
coud
empoyre
it
And
whan
Arthur
saw
that
he
was
ryght
sore
displeased
and
lyfte
vp
his
swaerde
agayne
&
strake
the
giaunt
on
the
heade
more
rudely
than
he
didde
before
,
but
all
that
aualed
not
,
for
it
semed
to
him
that
he
stra●e
on
a
stethy
of
stele
.
Than
Arthur
fered
him selfe
gretely
,
than
the
gyant
strake
many
strokes
at
arthur
,
but
alwayes
he
watched
so
the
strokes
that
he
dydde
let
theim
passe
by
hym
wi●hout
●ny
hurte
or
domage
,
for
he
perceyued
ryght
well
that
if
the
gyaunte
dyd
light
on
him
wi●h
a
full
stroke
there
was
none
other
way
with
him
but
death
.
Thus
this
gyant
euer
pursued
Arthur
to
haue
striken
him
,
but
alwayes
arthur
watched
the
strokes
and
voyded
them
wysely
and
oftentymes
strake
the
gyaunt
agayne
but
he
coulde
doo
hym
no
hurte
,
thus
they
fought
a
grete
space
not
ferre
fro
the
ryche
bedde
in
the
myddes
of
the
chambre
than
the

with

lyfte

the

came

for

auoyded
craftely

the
which
entred

cut
asonder
a
greate
brase
of
a

that
stode
before

of
white
yuery

&
so
the
stroke
descended
downe
into
the

thrughout
all
the
pauemen●
,
for
the
gyaunt
was
so
sore
dyspleased
that
his

en●red

into

whan

and
so
toke
the
handlynge
therof
and
cast
it
at
Arthur
,
but
wysely
he
dyde
auoyde
it
&
so
it
lyghted
on
the

of
the

wherin
the

entred
well

an

the

and
wold
haue
rasshed

out

but
it
was
so
sore
bounde
with

vnder

Than
the
markes
sayde
,
syr
it
is
of
tro●th
how
that
the
lord
of
Arg●nt●n
was
my
broder
,
who
was
in
his
tyme
a
ryght
good
knight
.
I
saye
it
not
because
he
was
my
broder
,
but
of
very
trouth
he
was
so
gretly
alowed
that
the
renowne
of
hym
was
spredde
a
brode
all
the
lond●
of
Soroloys
,
for
there
he
was
reputed
to
be
the
moost
souerayne
knyght
of
al
the
worlde
,
and
so
it
fortuned
that
the
duke
of
bygor
who
is
a
myghty
lorde
in
his
countre
made
on
a
daye
a
●ournaye
●o
be
holden
at
his
cyte
of
bygor
bycause
of
a
neuewe
of
his
who
was
maryed
the
same
daye
vnto
a
ryght
hye
lygnage
,
and
thys
dukes
neuewe
was
&
yet
is
righte
fyers
and
orgyllous
,
and
is
a
ryght
gretly
redoubted
knyghte
of
his
handes
,
and
in
euery
place
he
was
reputed
nexte
to
my
broder
to
be
the
best
knight
of
the
world
and
at
this
foresayde
turnay
was
my
brother
,
and
this
dukes
neuew
had
gret
enuy
at
him
bycause
of
the
great
noblenesse
that
he
herde
repu●ed
of
hym
and
so
●oke
counsayle
with
some
of
his
affinite
and
det●rmined
to
Iust
against
my
lorde
m●
brother
,
to
thentent
to
abate
his
renowne
,
&
so
he
toke
to
his
company
.x
other
knightes
,
&
whan
the
tournay
was
begon
,
he
and
his
company
ran
at
ones
at
my
broder
,
who
as
than
was
not
ware
of
their
malicious
purpose
,
nor
had
no
mo
in
hys
company
but
me
and
his
squier
,
wherfore
we
suffred
muche
payne
,
but
finally
my
broder
deliuered
vs
all
fro
them
&
bette
downe
the
dukes
neuew
to
the
e●th
,
but
than
my
brother
by
his
gentylnesse
did
that
I
wold
not
haue
done
,
for
whan
he
saw
him
at
the
erth
he
lighted
&
brought
him
an
other
good
horse
,
and
helped
him
to
mounte
theron
,
and
than
my
brother
lept
againe
on
his
horse
and
went
to
the
tourney
&
there
dyd
suche
meruayles
of
armes
that
all
that
behelde
him
meruayled
therat
,
and
generally
they
all
sayd
how
that
in
all
the
worlde
there
was
none
lyke
him
And
whan
the
●ukes
neuewe
herde
all
that
prayse
be
giuen
to
my
brother
,
his
herte
swelled
for
anger
and
enuy
,
&
for
despite
he
wolde
no
more
lust
the
daye
.
And
whan
all
was
ended
,
the
price
was
giuen
to
my
brod●r
by
the
consent
of
both
parties
and
so
than
all
the
companie
wente
to
the
courte
to
the
duke
,
&
there
they
began
greatly
to
praise
my
broder
.
And
whan
his
neuew
herde
that
he
was
right
sore
dyspleased
bycause
he
was
beten
downe
by
hym
the
same
day
,
●herfoe
openly
before
the
duke
for
pure
malice
he
appeled
my
broder
of
treason
,
and
sayd
how
that
he
had
beten
him
downe
in
the
tournay
by
crafte
and
false
t●esō
Than
my
broder
coulde
no
lenger
endure
his
wordes
,
bu●
sayd
.
In
fayth
syr
ye
say
vntruly
,
for
I
neuer
thought
treson
in
all
my
lyfe
,
neyther
to
you
nor
to
non
other
creature
,
and
therwith
in
the
quarell
he
dyd
caste
downe
his
gloue
at
the
fote
of
the
duke
.
And
whan
this
dukes
neuew
saw
that
he
had
cast
his

,
he
was
nie
en●aged
for
anger
&
d●spite
and
stept
on
his
fete
&
toke
a
grete
mace
of
stele
from
a
varlet
that
stode
beside
,
&
the●with
he
strake
my
broder
on
the
head
so
that
the
blode
fell
to
the
erth
,
&
whan
I
saw
my
brother
so
stroken
I
toke
my
sw●rde
in
my
hande
&
thought
to
haue
slayne
hym
,
but
than
other
knightes
kepte
vs
●sonder
,
so
than
my
brothers
company
began
to
draw
togyther
,
&
his
company
in
likewyse
,
wherby
it
was
likely
there
to
haue
ben
a
great
fray
,
but
wysely
the
duke
appesed
bothe
partyes
and
was
right
sore
dyspleased
with
the
outrage
of
his
neuew
.
Than
my
brother
sayd
to
the
duke
,
syr
your
neuewe
hath
appeled
me
of
treason
,
and
therfore
beholde
here
lieth
my
gloue
to
defend
my self
in
the
qua●el
,
that
by
treason
without
any
defiaunce
,
&
or
I
was
ware
he
hath
striken
me
like
a
●alse
traytour
as
he
is
and
that
wyl
I
proue
my
body
agaynst
his
,
and
therfore
syr
duke
lette
me
haue
ryght
according
to
the
law
of
armes
.
Than
was
this
dukes
neuew
greatli
blamed
of
euery
knight●
who
sayd
generally
that
yf
he
had
●ight
he
should
be
for
this
dede
right
sore
punisshed●
Than
the
duke
was
right
sorowful
,
&
did
much
labour
to
appese
my
brother
,
but
in
no
wise
●
e
wolde
be
content
of
a
great
season
,
how
be
it
fynalli
the
duke
required
him
so
moche
,
&
so
did
all
other
knightes
that
my
broder
who
had
a
gentyll
herte
did
forgyue
all
the
matter
,
&
there
the
pras
was
ma●e
&
eche
o●
them
bounde
to
other
in
two
.
M.
pounde
to
kepe
&
obserue
suche
direceions
as
the
duke
wold
take
in
that
mater
,
wherwith
they
said
they
were
well
content
.
Than
the
duke
sayd
,
syrs
fyrst
eche
of
you
shal
pardon
other
of
al
euyl
willes
that
hath
ben
betwene
you
.
And
ther●o
they
answe●ed
&
said
that
they
were
pleased
so
to
do●
&
in
knowlege
therof
they
enbraced
eche
other
and
kissed
togyther
.
Than
the
duke
determined
ferder
,
how
that
his
ne●ew
shuld
delyuer
to
my
brother
.
CC
.
pound
of
yerely
land
to
haue
to
hym
and
his
ayres
for
euermore
the
whiche
direccion
his
neuew
there
confermed
&
there
my
brother
was
put
in
full
possessyon
therof
both
by
the
duke
&
also
by
his
neuew
,
who
shewed
fayret
semblaunt
outwarde
to
my
brother
than
he
thought
inwarde
in
his
herte
.
Than
my
brother
toke
leue
of
the
duke
&
hys
neuew
vnder
the
false
colour
of
loue
con●ayed
my
broder
parte
of
the
way
,
but
fall●
and
like
a
traytour
he
had
layde
a
●●●●hement
in
a
lytle
wode
of
thre
score
me●
in
harne●s
&
so
there
or
we
were
w●●e
they
o●●he
in
behinde
vs
,
&
there
sh●●
fully
slew
my
brother
and
two
of
his
sones
of
the
age
of
.xii.
or

yeres
And
so
there
they
slew
a

were

our
company
and
there
he
toke
me
and
ney
f●low
prisoners
out
of

ye
haue
delyuered

And
syr
it
is
so
my

hath
no
mo
children
left
on
lyue
sauyng
a
doughter
,
who
is
enheritour
to
all
the

the

hath
taken
fro

all
the

hath
hee
in

is
purposed
to
mary
her

WHan

And

so
as

thus
she
prayde

than
ye
haue
giuen
me
respite
tyll
ye

agayne
,
&
than
by
the
grace
of

ye
wyl
not
do
so
much
hurt
as
ye
speke
of
than
the
other
knightes
wolde
haue
fought
with
Arthur
,
but
theyr
mayster
defended
them
the
contrary
,
bycause
he
sayd
he
wolde
sle
hym
his
owne
handes
Than
Arthur
departed
fro
them
,
and
the
knightes
put
theyr
lord
in
a
horse
lytter
and
so
caried
him
to
a
castel
of
his
own
,
where
as
he
●emayned
tyll
he
had
recouered
his

And
Arthur
after
that
he
was
departed
fro
them
rode
so
longe
til
he
yssued
out
of
the
forest
,
&
rode
vp
to
a
great
hye
hyll
,
and
at
the
descending
ther
of
he
saw
where
a
knight
alarmed
cam
right
rudely
to
him
warde
,
and
a
greate
speare
in
his
hande
,
and
when
he
came
to
hym
he
sayde
.
Syr
are
ye
of
the
company
of
the
.xiiii
▪
knightes
that
went
this
way
but
late
.
Nay
certaynly
sayde
Arthur
for
they
did
their
payne
to
haue
trobled
me
,
but
I
thanke
god
they
myst
of
theyr
purpose
,
but
syr
I
pray
you
wherfore
do
you
axe
the
question
.
As
god
help
me
syr
bicause
yf
ye
were
ony
of
them
I
wolde
●le
you
myne
owne
handes
or
euer
ye
past
any
ferder
if
I
coulde
,
&
also
theyr
mayster
for
he
is
the
most
shamefullest
knight
that
lyueth
,
&
falsest
traytu●
that
euer
was
,
for
he
&
his
company
had
nye
slayne
a
brother
of
mine
this
morning
by
this
riuers
side
bycause
he
wold
not
giue
hym
a
fawcon
that
he
bate
on
his
fist
,
therfore
he
ran
at
him
wyth
hys
swerde
in
his
hande
and
hath
wounded
him
in
.xv.
places
of
his
bodi
,
as
he
that
was
vnarmed
,
&
the
traytour
&
all
hys
company
be
in
varne●s
,
&
therfore
I
am
come
after
him
to
slee
him
&
I
myght
how
be
it
I
thinke
it
could
not
lie
in
my
power
,
for
he
is
a
knight
greatly
redouted
,
neuertheles
I
had
rather
to
be
dead
than
my
brother
shuld
be
vnreuenged
.
Syr
sayd
Arthur
take
no
thought
for
the
matter
,
nor
folow
hym
no
ferther
thys
day
,
for
surely
he
is
in
no
good
poynte
as
now
to
fight
with
you
nor
yet
with
none
other
,
for
he
is
right
sore
wounded
a
syr
sayd
the
knight
blessed
be
god
who
kepe
&
preserue
him
that
hath
doone
the
dede
.
Than
the
knight
returned
agayne
with
Arthur
talking
of
that
matter
.
At
the
last
Arthur
demaunded
of
him
what
maner
knightes
they
were
&
of
whe●s
.
Syr
as
god
helpe
me
it
was
syr
I
sembarte
neuew
to
the
duke
of
Bygor
,
the
moste
falsest
traytour
in
all
the
world
,
for
he
hath
murdred
by
●reason
the
lord
of
argenton
fally
without
any
cause
.
ye
syr
{quod}
Arthur
sith
it
is
he
than
his

so
much
the
be●t●r
,
a
by
the
grace
of
god
he
shal
haue

So
than
they
approched
to
the
place
where
as
this
k●●ghtes
broder
say
sore
wounded
.
Than
Arthur
called
to
him
Bawdewyn
who
was
a

surgeon
,
&
commaunded
t●at
he
should
do
his
diligence

And
so
arthur

,
&
the

demaunded
of

&
syth

&
there
is
no

&
therfore
who

hath
nede
to

of
great
vertu
&
strength
wel
sayd
arthur
I
wyl
assay

,
and
so
they
wtē
●o
rest
,
&
in
the
mornyng
arose
.
and
the
sayde
knight
who
was
named
Iosseran
the
almayne
,
&
they
rode
forth
the
next
way
to
the
castell
of
the
brosse
,
&
arthur
left
Bawdewyn
behinde
hym
at
the
castell
to
take
hede
to
the
wounded
knyght
.
Thus
arthur
and
Iosseran
the
almayne
rode
forth
so
longe
togeder
that
on
a
wednesday
aboute
none
they
entred
into
a
fayr
medow
before
the
castell
of
the
brosse
.
And
whan
the
knightes
that
were
without
keping
the
tentes
sawe
Iosseran
theyr
felow
and
arthur
,
wyth
hym
,
than
they
wente
to
theyr
harneys
and
cam
vnto
them
&
made
right
great
thereto
Iosseran
theyr
companion
,
and
they
sayd
to
A●thur
,
syr
knight
ye
must
furnishe
that
is
belonging
to
you
to
do
and
that
is
surely
ye
must
strike
this
shelde
and
than
ye
must
iust
with
the
knyght
that
ye
shall
se
yssue
out
of
this
castell
.
well
sayd
Arthur
in
the
name
of
god
al
this
shall
I
do
with
a
right
good
wyll
And
these
knightes
behelde
him
well
&
perceyued
that
he
was
a
goodly
knight
and
praysed
hym
moche
in
their
hertes
.
Therwith
arthur
spurred
forth
his
good
horse
and
ran
at
the
shelde
with
his
spere
and
gaue
it
suche
a
stroke
that
he
claue
it
asonder
in
the
myddes
.
Than
Iosseran
sayd
to
his
felowes
,
certaynly
if
he
gyue
suche
strokes
to
his
enemies
there
may
none
endure
him
.
Than
Gouernar
in
the
castell
was
sone
armed
,
&
yssued
out
.
And
than
the
damoysel
was
mounted
on
the
wales
to
beholde
the
batayle
And
whan
Gouernar
sawe
Arthur
he
knew
him
not
bicause
of
his
white
sheld
but
Arthur
knew
hym
right
well
,
and
behelde
the
countenaunce
of
Gouernar
how
he
stretched
himself
in
hys
sadell
,
and
plunged
his
shelde
,
and
dressed
his
spere
and
made
hym
redy
,
wherfore
Arthur
loued
him
much
the
better
,
and
so
they
●an
eche
at
other
,
and
meete
so
rudely
that
Gouernar
brake
hys
spere
,
but
Arthur
strake
hym
so
fiersly
that
Gouernars
horse
enfo●dred
and
fel
vnder
hym
,
and
so
horse
and
man
all
went
to
the
earth
,
and
than
Arthur
tourned
and
layde
his
hande
on
his
swerde
and
was
coming
againe
to
gouernar
,
and
al
that
behelde
his
valyauntnesse
praysed
hym
moche
,
and
Gouernar
did
nothing
but
was
fayne
to
get
hym
on
his
fete
.
Than
all
the
knightes
went
to
hym
&
wolde
haue
vnarmed
hym
and
led
hym
to
the
Iustice
.
And
whan
Arthur
sawe
that
,
he
coude
not
suffre
that
he
shoulde
haue
so
muche
shame
and
sayd
.
Syrs
it
is
no
right
nor
reason
that
ye
shold
lede
him
forth
to
the
Iustice
,
for
hys
horse
fell
vnder
hym
,
and
therfore
though
he
fel
it
was
the
faute
of
the
horse
and
not
of
the
knight
▪
for
he
hath
done
right
well
his
deuoyre
,
and
also
he
is
my
man
,
for
I
am
his
lorde
,
wherfore
he
is
bounde
not
to
withstande
hys
mayster
,
so
than
he
is
not
to
blame
syth
he
hath
done
wel
his
deuour
.
And
whan
Gouernar
herde
his
lorde
speke
he
knew
him
right
well
by
his
speche
,
than
he
dyd
of
his
helme
and
ranne
to
hym
,
than
Arthur
lyghted
of
his
horse
and
so
they
clipped
and
kissed
and
made
greate
Ioye
eche
to
other
and
whan
Iaket
saw
his
olde
mayster
arthur
he
kneeled
downe
and
dyd
hym
great
reuerence
.
and
whan
al
the
other
knightes
saw
the
great
honour
that
Gouernar
and
Iacket
made
to
arthur
,
and
how
that
he
was
theyr
lord
and
maister
they
thought
than
wel
that
he
was
some
noble
man
and
of
some
great
lygnage
,
and
therfore
they
wolde
not
displease
him
,
but
let
Gouernar
alone
in
peas
,
&
so
they
broughte
bothe
Arthur
&
Gouernar
in
to
the
castel
to
the
lady
,
and
the
damoysell
receyued
them
with
grete
Ioye
.
There
Arthur
remayned
in
greate
Ioye
tyll
it
came
to
.iii.
dayes
space
before
the
season
prefyxed
that
he
sholde
go
fyghte
wyth
the
terryble
monster
.
Than
all
the
knyghtes
that
were
without
cam
to
arthur
to
speke
with
him
,
and
whan
they
were
in
his
presence
and
seynge
hym
so
fayre
&
gentyl
,
wherfore
they
loued
him
wyth
all
theyr
hertes
,
and
sayde
amonge
themselfe
,
it
is
grete
domage
to
sende
to
his
deth
so
gentyll
and
so
noble
a
personage
.
And
Arthur
herde
theym
well
,
but
he
fared
as
though
he
had
not
herde
.
Soo
fynally
these
knyghtes

Well

I

And
whan

and

.
IN

mornyng
Arthur
arose
and
herde

&
al

,
and
after
masse

to
conduyte

yssued
out

so
they
all
mounted

to

and
so
Arthur
rode
forth
tyll
he
came

&
the

the

&
whan

Arthur
he
rose

to
Arthur
wyth

abrode
to
thenten●e
that
he
w●l●●
haue
borne
hym
to
his
pytte
,
but
wysely
Arthur
set
his
spere
before
hym
the
which
was
grete
and
bygge
and
well
headed
wyth
fyne
stele
,
and
●he
monster
who
fered
nothing
ranne
so
rudely
agenst
the
spere
poynte

that
●he
spere
sheuered
all
to
peces
,
but
it
did
no
maner
of
hurte
to
the
monster
&
so
he
approched
to
Arthur
,
&
thought
to
haue
enbraced
him
in
his
armes
,
but
than
Arthur
put
before
him
his
whyte
shelde
,
&
the
monster
dasht
with
his

therat
thinkinge
to
haue
pe●ced
it
thrugh
,
but
in
no

he
coude
enpraire
the
shelde
,
for
the
propertie
therof
was
such
that
nothing
shold
enter
nor
enpayre
it
.
And
whan
the
monster
saw
that
he
had
done
no
hurte
to
the
shelde
he
began
to
enrage
and
fare
like
a
fend
of
hell
,
and
than
he
toke
Arthur
bi
the
helme
with
his
longeteth
,
the
whiche
were
as
sharp
as
stele
.
And
whan
Arthur
saw
his
mouth
so
wyde
open
,
he
toke
the
swerde
that
the
lady
of
the
●rosse
gaue

and
dasht
it
into
his
mouth
.
And
whan
the
monster
felte
the
swerde
in
his
mouth
,
he
let
go
his
hold
of
the
helme
&
toke
the
swerd
bitwene
his
teth
and
al
to
brake
it
,
as
though
it
had
ben
but
glasse
.
And
whan
Arthur
saw
that
he
knew
well
that
yf
clarence
his
good
swerde
dyd
not
help
him
his
lif
was
but
lost
,
and
so
toke
the
good
swerde
in
his
hand
.
And
than
the
monster
toke
him
by
the
helme
with
one
of
his
handes
,
and
by
the
sheld
with
the
other
hande
,
&
al
his
nayles
perced
hys

as
lightly
as

&
dasht
arthur
so
sore
with

other
hand
on
the
shelde
that
nye
he
had
fallen
with
the
stroke
but
he
coude
not
perce

.
Than
arthur
lyfte
vp
clarence
his
good
swerde
and
strake
the
monster
therwith
on
the
head
so
rudely
that
the
swerde
entred
therin
more
than
an
handefull
.
And
whan
the
monster
felte
him selfe
wounded
,
for
anger
,
he
bette
his
teth
together
,
and
rouled
hys
eyen
the
which
glemed
like
brondes
of

and
bette
togider

made

so
quykly

so
closed

And
whan
Arthur
saw

he
●usht
in

But
than

who
came

wherfore
Arthur
was

so
cour

And
so
than
syr
Fyrmontes
company
kylled
Gouernars

Than
Gouernar
layde

And
at

and
strake

that
he
dasht

and
soo
he
toke

mounted
theron
in

,
than
he
rusht
agayne
into

layde
on
with

And
at
the

these

on
f●te
slewe
both
Brisebar

Iosserans
horses
vnderneth
them
,
and
lyke
valyaunt
knyghtes
they
●ept
on
theyr
sete
,
and
by
grete
vertue
def●nd●d
them selfe
,
but
the
●●ese
was
so
th●cke
&
so
grete
&
they
wer
ouercharched
wyth
the
people
on
foote
that
by
clene

they
were
taken

and
than
they
al●am

and
there
he
valyauntely
didde

.
And
whan
he
saw
hymselfe
at
that
myscheue

his

taken
prysoners
he
sayd
.
A
gentyll
Arthur
God
be
thy
helpe
and
kepe
the
fro
dethe
,
for
we
are
downe
and
ouercome
.
And
whan
Arthur
h●rde
that
and
saw
how
they
were
taken
than
he
abandone●
his
hert
and
body
to
rescowe
his
knightes
,
&
so
dashte
into
the
prese
,
&
fyersly
sayde
on

aboute
hym
on
euery
s●de
,
and
dressed
himselfe
towarde
Gouernar
,
but
it
auayled
hym
nothyng
for
Gouernar
Bri●ebar
and
Iosserā
wer
taken
and
led
forth
toward
the
castel
,
and
whan
Arthur
sawe
theym
so
ledde
forth
he
was
right
sorowful
,
and
therwith
he
dyd
so
moche
that
it
was
grete
meruayle
to
beholde
hym
,
for
he
brake
asonder
the
grete
prec●s
,
&
all
that
euer
he
attayned
vnto
went
to
deth
,
so
that
the
hardyes●
that
was
there
was
in
grete
fere
to
encounter
hym
,
but
the
prese
was
grete
that
dydde
folow
after
him
and
did
c●st
at
him
euery
thing
that
they
coude
get●e
,
thinkyng
eyther
to
●lee
hym
or
ell●s
his
horse
,
and
they
that
led
his
knyghtes
to
the
castell
warde
were
as
than
entred
into
a
narowe
causy
t●e
why●he
brought
them
to
a
gr●te
ryu●r
the
whiche
they
muste
passe
ouer
by
shyppe
,
for
there
was
no
brydge
and
so
they
entred
into
the
●hyp
,
and
ha●ted
them
very
fast
to
enter
into
the
castel
with
theyr
prysoners
.
And
whan
Arthur
sawe
howe
that
he
had
lost
his
.iii.
knightes
,
he
dyde
and
aduentured
hym selfe
so
ferre
that
there
was
neuer
knyghte
that
euer
dyd
suche
an
enterpryse
before
,
but
he
had
neuer
no
maner
of
feare
,
ne
neuer
doubted
creature
,
than
he
lyghted
of
hys
hors
,
&
as
by
fortune
there
was
another
shyp
departynge
fro
the
londe
syde
,
and
therwith
he
ioyned
togyder
his
fe●e
and
lept
of
the
londe
into
the
shyppe
among
all
his
enem●es
,
and
his
good
swerd
drawen
in
his
hande
,
and
the
fyrste
that
he
encountred
,
he
claue
his
head
to
the
thyn
and
alway●s
the
s●yppe
sayled
towarde
the
castel
,
&
he
delt
suche
strokes
among
them
th●t
for
feare
manye
of
them
lep●e
into
the
water
,
&
so
were
drowned
&
the
r●menaunt
slaine
.
And
at
the
last
the
shippe
drew
so
nere
to
the
castell
wall
that
they
that
were
within
the
castell
dyd
cast
downe
greate
hokes
of
yren
,
&
therewith
drewe
the
shyp
to
the
shore
,
and
than
they
ran
to
theyr
harneys
,
&
toke
theyr
crosbo●●●
&
other
w●●ens
of
war●●
.
Than
Arthur
lepte
out
of
the
shyp
and
toke
one
of
the
●rappers
of
yren
and
did
fasten
it
surely
to
a
tynge
in
the
castell
wall
to
●hen●ent
that
the
shyp
shoulde
not
departe
thens
And
they
of
the
castel
did
s●ote
and
caste
greate
ston●●
and
barres
of
yren
at
hym
,
bu●
a●wayes
he
couered
him
s●lfe
with
his
whyte
shelde
se
that
he
c●ulde
not
be
hurte
for
suche
was
the
vertue
of
the
sh●ld
that
it
,
coude
neuer
be
enp●●red
.
And
th●
mayst●r
of
the
castell
caused
the
greate
bell
to
be
sowned
wher
with
all
the
people
of
the
castell
were
moued
and
yssued
oute
in
to
the
felde
,
and
flocked
rounde
aboute
Arthur
,
&
there
was
than
so
greate
noyse
that
it
was
wonder
to
here
,
&
Arthur
hel●e
〈◇〉
his
hande
clarence
his
good
swerde
,
soo
that
there
was
none
that
approched
nere
hym
,
but
shortely
he
rendred
his
life
.
And
all
this
season
there
was
a
gret
sorte
that
kept
Arthurs
knyghtes
,
&
shamefully
de●te
with
theym
that
it
was
grete
pyte
to
se
,
for
some
pulled
them
by
theyr
heres
,
and
some
by
theyr
berdes
▪
&
some
bette
them
with
grete
staues
,
&
some
cryed
downe
with
them
,
●le
them
out
of
hand
.
And
yf
syr
Fyrmont
had
not
commaunbout
the
contrary
,
they
had
bene
al
slayne
to
they
had
had
a
.
M.
lyues
,
for
they
were
his
●er
chafed
agaynst
them
than
wilde
boares
be
whan
they
be
hunted
.
And
than
no●han
syr
Fyrmont
had
taken
the
remenoaunt
of
syr
Brisebars
knyghtes
,
than
kye
retourned
to
the
castel
&
all
his
peaple
●●he
which
were
well
to
the
nombre
of
.ii
falondred
,
&
alwayes
his
people
encreased
it
●ore
&
more
,
for
they
repayred
to
hym
of
F●l
the
townes
and
countrees
adioyning
A●●out
hym
.
And
so
they
passed
ouer
the
sayuer
,
than
he
commaunded
that
the
knygh●●es
that
were
taken
prisoners
sholde
be
●●edde
forth
into
the
grete
dongeon
of
the
●astell
,
and
there
to
be
vnarmed
,
and
as
〈◇〉
commaunded
so
it
was
done
.
And
so
Arthur
saw
howe
they
were
ledde
in
to
the
castel
,
but
the
prese
ware
so
grete
that
he
〈◇〉
not
come
at
them
.
Than
came
syr
●yrmont
&
threscore
with
hym
on
horsbacke
,
and
all
they
set
at
ones
on
Arthur
and
dasht
at
hym
with
speres
,
and
dydde
sh●te
at
hym
grete
quare●les
,
&
caste
many
a
grete
stone
at
his
head
.
And
whan
Arthur
sawe
that
he
was
so
sore
handled
amonge
them
,
and
perceyued
well
it
was
harde
for
hym
to
escape
the
grete
daunger
that
he
was
in
,
thought
inwardly
to
himselfe
that
he
wolde
〈◇〉
his
lyfe
dere
or
he
l●st
it
,
and
therwith
he
launced
hymself●
&
lepte
into
the
myddes
of
the
prease
wyth
his
good
swerde
in
his
hande
,
&
layde
on
rounde
aboute
him
as
freshely
as
thoughe
he
had
not
fought
of
all
the
day
before
,
&
so
made
a
wyde
way
euer
before
hym
,
&
dyd
so
valyauntly
that
some
of
the
knightes
that
were
enemyes
had
of
hym
gret●
pyte
,
and
soo
somewhat
withdrew
them selfe
,
what
for
pyte
,
&
what
for
fere
,
fro
doynge
of
hym
ony
hurte
,
and
sayde
eche
to

.
Saynt
marye
what
maner
of
knyght
is
this
,
it
were
gr●te
domage
he
●holde
thus
lese
his
lyfe
.
And
whan
syr
Fyrmont
saw
that
these
knyghtes
forbare
Arthur
,
he
was
therwith
so
sorowfull
that
he
was
nygh
enraged
therby
out
of
his
mynde
,
and
so
his
knightes
desyred
him
for
goddes
sake
that
he
wolde
haue
pyte
on
Arthur
seynge
that
he
dydde
so
nobly
that
daye
in
dedes
of
armes
,
&
also
consyderynge
that
there
was
so
many
agenste
hym
,
but
he
sayde
he
woulde
in
noo
wyse
spare
hym
,
but
swore
freshly
that
he
sholde
dye
or
he
departed
,
&
therwith
he
dasht●
his
horse
wyth
the
spurres
and
thought●
to
haue
stryken
Arthur
behynde
him
,
but
Arthur
,
sawe
him
comming
and
watched
wysely
his
stroke
and
let
him
passe
by
,
&
ashe
passed
by
Arthur
aduysed
him
well
and
strake
at
him
with
clarence
hys
good
swerde
,
&
the
stroke
dyd
lyghte
betwene
the
helme
and
the
necke
so
that
the
head
flewe
clene
in
to
the
fyelde
,
and
than
the
body
fell
downe
to
the
ground
.
Than
his
knightes
and
people
came
&
wondred
al
aboue
him
.
And
whan
Arthur
sawe
how
they
all
toke
hede
to
the
dede
body
,
as
faste
as
he
myght
he
went
vp
to
the
castel
that
same
way
that
he
sawe
his
knyghtes
ledde
forth
.
And
at
the
last
he
came
to
a
greatdore
of
yren
the
which
as
than
he
found
open
,
&
so
he
entred
into
the
tour
&
there
he
found
them
that
were
vnarmynge
of
Brysebar
&
his
felawes
,
&
than
he
shytte
fast
the
dore
after
hym
that
none
sholde
neyther
enter
nor
yssue
out
,
&
lyke
a
wilde
lyon
he
ran
on
them
&
wyth
his
swerd
cut
them
in
peces
as
the
sythe
dooth
the
grasse
,
&
whan
Gouernar
sawe
Arthur
his
mayster
hys
herte
began
to
reuyue
,
for
he
wende
verely
that
he
had
bene
slayne
and
his
handes
were
fast
tyed
togeder
&
with
his
tethe
&
with
his
clene
strength
he
brast
asonder
the
bindyng
wherwyth
he
was
bound
,
than
he
ran
to
one
of
them
that
bounde
hym
and
rashed
oute
of
hys
handes
his
wepen
,
&
therewyth
he
gaue
hym
suche
a
stroke
that
he
desceuered
life
and
body
asonder
,
&
than
he
ranne
to
the
dore
to
kepe
that
none
shold
escape
that
waye
,
for
they
that
came
to
the
dore
went
no
more
to
theyr
felawes
,
and
whan
they
sawe
how
they
were
delte
with
all
,
&
how
that
theyr
felawes
were
slayne
,
some
of
theym
for
fere
lepte
oute
of
the
wyndowes
into
the
water
and
so
som
swam
&
some
were
drowned
.
Thus
Arthur
delyuered
the
tour
of
them
all
,
for
there
was
not
one
that
abode
there
but
he
was
slayne
,
&
whan
he
was
thus
delyuered
of
hys
enemyes
,
than
he
came
to
hys
knyghtes
that
wer
bound
faste
lyke
prysoners
and
so
lowsed
them
,
and
whan
Arthur
sawe
Brysebar
so
faste
bounde
and
wrapped
with
cordes
he
saide
,
a

yl

come

&
so
he
vnloused
him
and
also
Bawdewin
and
Iaket
and
such
other
that
had
ben
taken
prysoners
,
&
than
he
closed
fast
all
the
dores
of
the
toure
to
thentent
that
none
shold
enter
into
them
,
&
this

syr
Fyrmonte
your

caused
the

that
wounded
you
to
be
watched
in
so
moche
that
as

therefore
he

aboute

Why
sayde
syr
Isemba●te

Syr

And
as
they

thus

No
no
syr

I
thinke
verely
he
be

man
but
rather
a
fende
of
hell
,
for
he
doubteth
no
maner
of
thyng
for
he
confoundeth
all
that
euer
he
attaineth

,
for
this

he
hathe
sustayned
soo

that
he
hath
shedde

but
sir
whan
these

came
thyder
there
were
but

and
so
they
haue
loused

auaunt
out

And

dydde
cast

And

and
passed
there
by

as

Arthur

was
gretely

and
commaunded

A●thur

Arthur
was
oftentymes
in

but
Brisebar
wolde
not

and
v●rely
and
it
had
not
bene
more
for

of
his

than
for

he
wold●
haue

And
whan
they

saw
that

they

for

sone
as
he
was
out

,
he
toke
his

and
made
his
coniuracions
wherby
he
caused
such
a
tempest
of
winde
and
rayne
to
ryse
and
fal
in
the
dukes
host
without

that
it
brast

And
whan

than
●here
rose
out

such
a
derke
myst
and
so
stynkyng
that
scant

and
this
myst
hanged
ouer

ouer

,
except
the

&
dyd

but
thys

endured
so

that

of

dukes

and
also
within
his

were
fulfylled
with
the

And
at
the
laste
it
seased
and
the

began
to

a●d
so
than
it
fortuned
that
all
suche

the

theyr

began
to

and
to

so
full
of

and
oftentimes

as
arthur
and
his

were
,
a
waye
feryng
lest
they
wolde
haue
yssued
out
on

.
And
as
they
loked
towarde
the
mountaynes
,
to
theyr
heryng
they
he●de
x
.
thousand
hornes
and
trompettes
wenyng
verely
that
it
had
ben
true
,
and
than
to
theyr
syghtes
they
saw
so
much
people
descending
downe
fro
the
mountaynes
that
all
the
earth
was
coue●ed
with
harnysed
men
,
than
they
were
in
great
fere
than
they
were
before
,
and
at
the

they
thought
they
saw
descende
downe
fro
an

hyll
the
chiefe
standarde

baner
of
the
migh●ye
kynge
Emendus

w●erin
was
portrayed

And
on

came
the
ki●g
of

,
and
with
him
a
great
multytude
of

&
so
throughout
all
the

there
rose
a
great
rumour
&
a
saying
how
that
the
mighty
kinge
Emendus
with
all
his
chyual●y
was
comen
on

to
rescow
his

syr
Brisebar
,
whome
they
had
besyeged
with
Arthu●
in

,
&
so
therby
●he●

so
dyscomfyted
wi●hin

y•
wha●
on

they
fled

and
he
tha●
coude
get

dyd
set

&
some
for

lept
on

wythout

,
&
fled
away
all

som●
in

wodes
and
some
in
the
riuers
and
into
the
great
ma●eyses
they
wyst
not

.
And
Arthur
&
his
company
whan
they
saw
al
this
,
they
had
great
meruayle
.
In
the
name
of
god

Gouernar
I
trow
they
wyl
fysshe
for

,
behold
how
some
of
them
vayne
themselfe
in

And
at
the
last
tidinges
came
to
the
duke
how
that
his

fled

and
anone
he
lept
on
his

,
for
his
herte
was
as
sore
afrayd
as

&
so
he
fled
away
also
as

as
he
coulde
to
saue
hymself
.
And
his

that
were
within

and
so
did
c●ose

of

and
some
hid
theym
vnder

And

Isembarte

●nd
the
monk●s
nonnes

and
chanons
ran
to
the
chyrc●es
of
the

&
kneled
downe
&
confes●ed

knocking
them self
on
theyr
brestes
with
great
rep●ntaunce
of
theyr
mysdedes
thinking
v●rily
neuer
to
die
other
death
.
Than
mayster
Steuen
issued
oute
of
his
chambre
and
went
into
●he
hall
where
as
●r●hur
was
.
And
Ioseran
said
mais●e●
for
gods

c●me
hyder
&
beholde
how
the
du●e
&
his
men
do
flie
away
I
thynke
they

In
the
name
of
god
said
the
master
I
thinke
they
be
not
a●●his

well
assured
of
themselfe
therfore
shorte●y
take

●he
migh●y

Emendus
who
is
co●ing
to
rescowe
his
knygh●
he●●
syr
●risebar
.
And
whan
arthur
●erd
that
,
he
●nd
all
his
company
armed
them
and
so
opened
the
gates
and
went
to
●he
dukes
●entes
.
where
as
they
found
good
and
myghty
hors●s
,
&
ther●
eche
of
t●em
toke
a
good

such
as
lyked
thē

for
there
were
none
to

them
f●r
they
wer●
al
clene
fledde
a
way
and
n●t
one
left

So
than
they
all
mounted
on
theyr
horses
and
issued
out
of
t●e
tentes
and
toke
theyr
way
vp
towarde
the
mountaynes
where
as
arthur
and
his
company
thought
that
they
saw
by
semyng
al
the
worlde
of

coming
towardes
them
,
&
heryng
hornes
and
trompes
sownyng
,
and

of

,
glistering
of
helmes
,
shining
of
sheldes
,
waueryng
of
stremers
&
penselles
,
and
at
the
last
they
espyed
the
flambing
dragon
of
golde
in
the
great
baner
of
soroloys
,
and
also
as
to
theyr
syght
they
saw
all
the
foure
kinges
with
al
theyr
power
coming
,
so
that
by
semyng
all
the
erth
was
couered
with
people
.
And
Arthur
greatly
meruayled
of
the
great
noblenesse
of
the
king
Emendus
that
brought
so
great
a
multitude
of
people
.
Sir
as
god
helpe
me
sayd
mayster
Steuen
,
yet
here
is
no●
all
his
strength
,
for
here
is
nothing
of
the
power
of
my
ladi
Florence
his
doughter
,
nor
none
of
the
countrey
of
a●genton
.
Ue●ily
syr
sayd
Brisebar
to
say
the
trou●h
he
is
the
might●est
king
that
now
reygneth
in
al
the

.
And
so
they
rode
tor●h
thus
talkyng
til
at
the
last
they
met
wi●h
the
formest
company
of
the
ky●ges

to

Steu●n
to

and
to

And
so
they
rode
f●rth
●yll
they
m●tte
with
the
ki●ges
baner
&
flambyng
dragon
,
the
which
was
born
by
the
senesshal
of

lady
Flor●nce
who
made
great
chere
to
brisebar
and
thus
arthur
rode
●uer
forth
wenyng
ve●elye
that
all
this
that
he
saw
and
herde
had
ben
of
trouth
,
f●r
he
wendful
lytle
tha●
all
this
had
ben
wrought
by

and
thus
eue●
arthur

leges
,
and
euer
stil
encoun●●ed
much

,
and

Emendus
,
who
made
righte
great

&
feest
to
mayster
Steuen
,
&
to
Brysebar
&
demaunded
of
them
how
they
had
done
,
&
how
they
came
into
the
pryson
.
Syr
&
it
like
your
grace
said
sir
Brysebar
thanked
be
god
we
doo
ryght

for
we
were
delyuered
out
of

by
the
only

of
this
noble
knight
that
ye
se
here
in
our
companye
who
hath
done
so
much
in
dedes
of
chyualry
that
it
cannot
be
deuysed
,
&
thus
as
they
talked
together
maister
Steuen
forded
his
enchauntement
,
&
than
the
king
&
al
his
great
host
assembled
were
clene
vanished
away
,
so
that
there
was
in
syght
no
mo
creatures
but
all
onely
Arthur
and
his
company
,
wherwith
they
were
al
sore
abasshed
,
and
eche
of
them
behelde

and
spake
neuer

In

Than
Arthur
perceyued
wel
that
all
this
was
done
by
the
craft
of
master
Steuen
by●ause
of
theyr
deliueraunce
so
thus
they
rode
forth
til
it
was

,
&
at
last
agaynst

they
descend●d
downe
of
a
great

,
&
the

beneth
was
very

The

And

Than
incontinent

And

in
her
chambre
talking
with
Cristelyne
,
who
tolde
her
how
the
knyght
that
slew
the
monster
had
a
whyte
shield
and
a
sword
that
could
not
be
enpayred
.
At
the
whyche
tyme
she
felte
in
her
herte
the
vertue
of
the
propertie
of
the
same
ymage
in
the
riche
pauilion
,
the
which
represented
her
similitude
,
wherebye
there
entred
into
her
hert
such
alone
,
that
she
lost
al
her
countenaunce
,
&
blus●●ed
t●ise
as
muche
as
the
ymage
dyd
before
Arthur
,
and
therby
in
a
maner
she
fell
in
a
traunce
&
lost
the
vse
of
her
speache
.
And
whan
the
quene
of
orqueney
saw
her
in
that
poynt
,
she
cryed
right
hiely
and
said
Our
blessed
lady
saint
Mary
saue
my
●a
day
Florence
fro
deth
or
●eoperdy
&
than
Cristelyne
toke
her
in
his
armes
.
Than
other
ladyes
came
into
the
chambre
,
and
whan
they
sawe
her
in
that
poynt
,
they
toke
and
layde
her
on
her
bedde
&
anone
it
was
spredde
al
about
the
court
howe
that
the
noble
Florence
was
sore
sick
,
wherwith
the
courte
was
sore
troubled
,
&
the
kyng
and
themperoure
were
right
sory
whan
they
herd
therof
.
And
whan
that
Florence
was
well
come
agayne
to
her selfe
,
than
the
qu●ne
of
orqueney
demaunded
of
her
what
she
ayled
to
be
in
the
case
so
sodenly
.
And
she
answered
and
sayd
that
it
was
because
that
she
remembred
the
foule
horriblenes
of
the
head
of
the
dead
monster
,
whe●b●
her
herte
fayled
her
.
Than
incontinent
th●
kynge
commaunded
that
the
head
shul●
be
brent
to
thentent
that
it
sholde
no
more
be
seen
,
&
so
i●
was
done
in
all
haste
.
And
as
for
Arthur
was
al
this
season
before
the
ymage
with
the
chaplet
on
his
head
.
And
he
was
than
so
taken
wyth
loue
that
there
was
none
in
al
the
world
that
pleased
him●
but
al
onely
the
fygure
of
her
that
owed
●he
chaplet
,
and
therwith
he
ro●e
on
his
fete
,
and
the
chaplet
on
his
head
.
And
whan
the
mayster
sawe
that
,
he
had
neuer
so
great
ioy
afore
and
sayd
.
Syr

A
maister
said
Arthur
suffre
not
your selfe
so
to
say
,
for
the
son
of
a
king
ought
not
to
holde
his
lande
of
so
symple
a
knyght
as
I
am
,
howbeit
the
maister
dyd
so
muche
that
at
the
last
Arthur
receiued
him
for
his
man
,
and
whan
he
had
so
receyued
hym
,
the
maister
sayde
.
My

Maister

&
I

,
for

greueth

&
yet

S●r
sayd
the
maister

fro
you●
head
&
giue
it
agayn
to
the
ymage
to
kepe

Maister
said
Arthur
with
a
good
wyl
,
&
so
toke
the
chapl●t
&
delyuered
it
agayne
to
the
ymage
.
And
than
the
ymage
dressed
her
vp
and
stode
styll
as
she
dyd
before
.
Than
the
mayster
sayd
,
syr
Brisebar
wil
desire
you
●o
go
to
the
court
wyth
him
,
but
ye

And

and
the

was
herde
a
great

but
the

,
and
made
heades
,
armes
,

,
and
fete
flye
cleane
into

,
than
the
remnaun●e
began
to

,
but
than
it
was
to
late
,
for
there
was
none
but
eyther
he
had
loste
an

,
and
whan
the
squier
vnderstode
how
that
his
gest
was
thus
yssued
out
al
alone
and
fyghtyng
with
hys
enemyes
,
than
he
armed
hym selfe
and
ranne
oute
into
the
fielde
,
but
there
he
founde
nothynge
to
doo
,
for
by
that
tyme
Arthur
as
than
had
made
an
ende
of
them
all
,
and
soo
was
retournynge
home
warde
.
And
than
the
squyer
sawe
that
Arthur
had
ouercomen
al
hys
enemies
,
he
thought
verely
that
he
was
of
hye
prowesse
,
and
so
he
thanked
him
moche
and
sayde
.
Syr
ye
tolde
me
●●outhe
whan
ye
sayd
that
ye
would
make

betwene
myne
aduersaries
and
me
,
for
nowe
I
am
amonge
them
,
and
yet
they
saye
nothynge
to
me●
.
And
soo
Arthur
and
the
squyer
entred
into
the
place
and
closed
fast
the
gates
after
them
&
drewe
vp
the
bridge
,
and
so
wente
to
their
restes
,
&
in
the
morning
the
squier
wente
out
to
se
whyche
of
his
enemyes
were
slayne
,
and
amonge
the
other
he
found●
his
principal
enemy
slayne
,
wherof
he
had
great
ioye
,
and
offred
him selfe
therfore
to
become
Arthurs
man
,
and
wold
haue
gone
with
hym
,
but
Arthur
wold
not
suffre
hym
,
but
so
he
departed
from
the
squyer
,
and
anone
the
wordes
were
spre●de
abrode
in
all
the
countrey
,
how
that
a
knyght
with
a
white
shielde
had
slayne
and
ouercome
.xv.
knyghtes
,
the
whych
wordes
came
to
the
hearynge
of
mayster
Steuen
and
Brysebar
.
Uerely
sayde
mayster
Steuen
that

As

said
Brysebar
it

I

well
that
he
is
a

valyaunt

Thus
Arthur
rode
forth

and
there
he
found
betwene
twoo

WHan
that
Arthur
had
well
repasted

and
folowed

tyll
at
the

they

So
than
Arthur
rode

and
as
they
rode
on

hande
there
were
hewers
of
woode
,
and
as
soone
as
they

And
whan
Bawdewyn
herde
these
wordes
,
he
sayde
to
hys
mayster
.
Lo
●y●
now
ye
may
remembre

heare
what

certaynlye
I
woulde
not
thynke

creature
of
all
the
worlde
in
this

.
And
whan
Arthur
herde
Bawdewyn
saye
so
he
laughed
at
hym
saynge
thus
.
Frende
by
the
faythe
that
I
owe
vnto
my
lorde
my
fader
I
can
not
tell
whether
I
goo
nor
what
peryll
there
is
therin
but
what
peryll
soo
euer
I
shall
fynde
I
wolde
it
were
double
as
mouche
on
the
condicion
that
I
were
in
certayne
that
she
that
I
sawe
neuer
loued
me
as
well
as
I
loue
her
.
And
whan
the
foule
vylayne
herde
hym
saye
so
in
his
herte
he
praysed
hym
moche
and
knewe
well
therby
that
he
had
a
valyaunt
herte
.
And
thus
they
rode
forth
so
longe
tyl
at
the
last
the
foule
churle
cryed
out
and
sayd
.
Syr
knyght
how
it
wyll
appere
what
ye
can
doo
for
now
ye
shall
haue
nede
to
defende
your selfe
.
And
with
that
worde
Arthur
loked
on
his
lyfte
hande
and
sawe
where
there
was
comynge
to
hymwarde
a
grete
and
a
myghty
lyon
.
Than
Arthur
●ered
his
horse
lest
that
the
lyon
sholde
haue
slayne
hym
therfore
he
lyghted
downe
to
the
grounde
and
deliuered
his
horse
vnto
Bawdewyn
and
dressed
hym
towarde
the
lyon
.
And
whan
the
lyon
perceyued
hym
he
lepte
and
strake
at
hym
wythe
his
pa●es
thinkinge
to
confounde
him
but
Arthur
put
his
shel●e
before
hym
and
the
lyons
stroke
dash●e
theron
so
sore
that
Arthur
was
all
astonyed
with
the
stroke
.
Than
Arthur
strake
at
hym
with
clarence
his
good
swerde
as
he
passed
by
hym
and
strake
of
clene
his

and
whan
the

felte
hymselfe
so
hurte
he
habandoned
with
all

power
his
body
agaynst
Arthur
and
with
his
sharpe
tethe
he
toke
Arthur
by
the
helme
and
they
entred
into
the
bokles
of
his
harneys
but
as
god
wolde
they
touched
not
his
flesshe
and
with
his
fote
he
strake
Arthur
suche
a
stroke
vpon
shelde
that
and
it
had
not
ben
the
better
shelde
it
hadde
bene
clouen
all

and
with
hys
other
fote
he
toke
Arthur
by
the
ryghte
sholdre
,
but
Arthur
swarued
from
hym
,
or
elles
he
had
bene
torne
asonder
,
for
in
the
swaruynge
awaye
he
lost
a
greate
quarter
of

,
and
therwith
Arthur
lift

and
dasht
it
vp

And

and
than

notwithstandinge

Than

And

Than

Than
Arthur
issued
out
of
his
chaumbre
.
And
whan
syr
Roger
sawe
hym
he
toke
hym
by
the
hand
and
sayde
.
Syr

Syr
as
it
pleaseth
you
sayde
Arthur
than
they
wasshed
and
sate
them
downe

the
table
and
were
righte
well
serued
,
and
the
vylayne
was
set
downe
at
an
other
table
behynde
Arthur
,
and
so
they
gaue
hym
parte
of
al
their
meates
and
drynkes
that
they
hadde
and
he
dyde
ete
and
drynke
excedyngly
moche
for
they
could
not
satysfye
hys
apetyde
.
And
after
souper
Bawdewyn
Arthurs
squyer
toke

to
his
horses
.
And
than
Arthurs
bedde
was
made
in
the
same
place
where
as
it
was
deuysed
before
,
and
the
vyllayne
layde
hym
downe
on
foure
quysshens
by
the
fyre
in
the
hall
as
he
that
hadde
wel
eaten
and
dronken
,
and
so
fel
fast
on
slepe
&
snorted
ryght
sore
,
wherfore
syr
Roger
that
was
knighte
of
the
place
would
haue
wakened
him
,
but
Arthur
would
not
suffre
him
,
but
caused
hym
to
be
couered
with
a
grene
couerlet
and
so
let
hym
lye
,
and
whan
it
was
time
for
hym
to
go
to
his
bedde
,
than
the
torches
were
lyghted
vp
,
and
the
knyght
conuayed
Arthur
to
his
chaumbre
,
and
at
hys
taking
leue
of
Arthur
he
offered
with
hys
mouthe
hym selfe
and
all
his
householde
to
be
redy
at
his
commaundemente
,
but
in
his
herte
inwardly
he
thought
to
be
redy
to
cause
hym
to
lose
his
lyfe
.
And
whan
he
was
departed
Arthur
wente
to
his
bedde
,
and
as
he
layd
hym
downe
he
and
the
bed
and
all
fell
into
the
great
pytte
,
and
the
knyght
and
hys
seruauntes
were
readye
watchyng
at
the
doore
,
and
whan
they
heard
the
russhe
,
they
entred
into
the
chaumbre
,
and
toke
Bawdewyn
and
dyd
caste
hym
downe
too
hys
mayster
,
and
Arthur
receyued
hym
in
hys
armes
because
he
should
not
be
hurt
in
the
fallynge
downe
.
Than
there
●ose
a
greate
crye
and
noyse
throughoute
all
the
place
,
and
some
bare
speres
and
barres
of
yron
to
caste
downe
at
Arthur
to
slee
him
in
the
pyt
,
&
euer
Arthur
watched
well
their
strokes
and
dyd
auoyde
them
as
well
as
he
myghte
.
And
at
the
laste
by
the
reason
of
the
great
noyse
the
vylayne
arose
oute
of
hys
slepe
.
And
so
whan
that
he
hearde
that
great
brute
he
wyst
well
that
Arthur
was
betrayed
.
Than
he
mounted
vp
into
the
chaumbre
with
his
greate
leuer
in
his
handes
,
and
there
he
saw
wel
that
they
were
aboute
to
enforce
them selfe
to
slea
Arthur
.
Than
he
toke
his
leuer
and
strake
so
the
knyght
syr
Roger
in
the
necke
that
he
caused
his
tonge
to

out
of
his
mouth
nye
half
a
fote
,
and
therwith
he
fel
down
into
the
pyt
to
Arthur
,
And
the
vylayne
than
sayd
to
Arthur
,
syr
knyght
gnawe
well
on
that
morsell
,
ye
shall
haue

Than
he
lyft

And
so
he
made

&
so
●e
was

So
thus
they

¶
Howe
on
the
next
mornynge
the
vylaine
brought
Arthur
to
another
aduenture
nye
to
the
toure
tenebrous
,
where
as
he
was
firste
assailed
wyth
terrible
monstrous
byrdes
,
and
greate
griffons
without

,
&
after
that
he
was
assailed
with
.xxiiii.
knightes
.
and
how
he
b●
his
prowes
slew
them
all
.
And
also
he
bet●e
down
the
gret
ma●homet
of
brasse
out
of
the
whyche
there
issued
oute
a
wynd
that
it
tourned
about
great
myllstones
lyke
powder
,
and
also
how
that
he
entred
into
the
castell
tenebrous
,
and
quenched
the
fyre
which
was
the
cause
of
the
great
darkenes
the
which
conteyned
the
circuite
of
.v.
leges
compasse
as
ye
shal

afterward
.
Capto
.
lviii
.
IN
the
next
morning
betimes
Arthur
rose
and
armed
him
&
mounted
on
his
horse
and
toke
his
wateuer
folowing
the
vilayn
,
&
so
he
rode
forth
tyl
it
was
about
thre
of
the
clock
,
&
than
they
entred
into
a
great
valey
,
and
euer
they
rode
lowe●
and
lower
,
it
was
than
a
fayre
season
,
for
the
sonne
shone
clere
,
&
by
that
tyme
they
had
ryden
twoo
leges
and
a
halfe
,
they
were
in
much
darknes
that
they
had
clene
lost
the
sight
both
of
the
sonne
,
and
also
of
the
day
,
for
it
was
there
as
dark
as
though
it
had
bē
aboute
midnyght
.
Than
the
vilayne
sayd
to
Arthur
,
syr
knight
can
ye
tel
fro
whens
al
thys
darknes
cometh
,
if
ye
can
for
do
it
&
make
it
clere
,
than
shal
ye
get
thereby
a
perpetual
honour
,
&
know
you
for
certayn
that
as
yet
there
was
neuer
none
that
euer
entred
any
ferder
that
euer
retourned
agayne
therefore
if
youre
hert
fayle
you
enter
no
ferder
for
if
ye
do
,
ye
shall
dye
as
other
haue
done
here
before
Frende
sayd
Arthur
,
howe
is
it
that
all
this
darkenes
is
here
in
thys
place
.
I
wyl
tell
you
no
more
sayd
the
vylayne
,
but
I
rede
you
be
sage
&
wise
,
for
it
standeth
you
wel
in
hand
.
And
therwith
Arthur
departed
fro
them
and
entred
into
the
derkenes
,
and
the
vylayn
&
Bawdewyn
abode
styll
at
the
beginninge
of
the
derkenes
,
&
so
they
lost
the
syght
of
Arthur
,
but
they
myght
se
the
shynynge
of
his
sheld
as
farre
of
as
one
myght
shote
an
arowe
.
Thus
he
rode
forth
well
the
space
of
halfe
a
lege
,
&
at
the
last
he
found
a
ryuer
great
and
depe
,
&
black
as
pitch
,
and
the
bankes
were
so
hye
,
that
vnneth
the
water
mighte
be
sene
runnynge
vnderneth
,
and
it
was
so
full
of
serpentes
and
lydardes
,
that
none
could
entre
amonge
them
without
he
were
slayne
and
aboue
his
head
flewe
monstrous
bl●des
and
diuers
griffons
who
wer
able
to
beare
away
an
armed
knyght
hors
&
al
,
and
that
they
were
in
as
great
a
multitude
as
though
thei
had
ben
sta●lings
And
Arthur
dydde
couer
his
head
with
his
sheld
,
and
the
griffons
dasht
therat
with
their
talentes
,
&
anoyed
bothe
Arthur
and
his
horse
righte
sore
,
an●
euer
Arthur
florysshed
about
hym
wyth
hys
good
sword
clarence
,
&
what
so
euer
he
touched
dyd
hym
no
more
hurt
after
.
Also
there
were
flies
that
were
as
grea●
as
nu●tes
and
as
blacke
as
pytche
,
and
they
stange
both
hym
&
his
horse
ryghte
sore
,
so
that
the
bloud
yssued
out
af●er●
but
&
it
had
not
bene
for
the
clerenes
of
his
shelde
,
he
had
bene
slayne
there
and
he
had
had
a
.
M.
mens
liues
,
but
by
the
bryght
shynyng
therof
he
mighte
well
s●
rounde
aboute
hym
,
and
perceyue
well
whan
any
of
these
thinges
came
to
him
warde
,
wherby
he
made
as
good
de●ence
as
was
for
him
possible
,
&
thus
he
rode
a
longe
season
by
the
●yuer
syde
,
&
at
the
last
he
found
a
lytel
strayte
way
the
which
he
must
nedes
passe
without
he
would
haue
tourned
agayne
,
and
at
the
last
Arthur
dasht
into
the
strayte
way
,
&
anon
the
vermin
that
was
there
ran
to
his
hors
,
so
that
shortly
he
w●s
ful
of
them
as
though
they
had
bene
flies
,
and
they
souked
so
muche
bloud
of
the
hors
that
he
began
to
wax
very
feble
&
whan
Arthur
sawe
that
his
horse
would
fayl●
him
,
he
hasted
as
fast
as
he
might
to
get
oute
of
that
strayte
waye
,
and
so
wyth
moche
payn
●egal●
his
hors
out
therof
and
incontinent
the
horse
fel
d●wn
dead
than
arthur
set
his
fete
to
the
erth
as
well
as
he
might
,
&
than
there
came
a
knyght
at
Arthur
or
he
was
ware
,
&
hit
him
on
his
sheld●
the
whiche
he
helde
not
fast
in
his
hande
,
therfore
the
stroke
dyd
g●ent
and
the
spere
helde
&
brake
not
,
&
as
the
knyght
passed
forth
Arthur
toke
hym
by
the
rayne
of
the
brydell
and
caught
hym
by
the
arme
&
pulled
hym
so
rudely
that
he
made
him
auoyde
his
horse
,
and
soo
he
fell
downe
into
the
water
and
there
was
drowned
&
deuoured
with
the
foule
vermyn
that
was
therin
▪
than
Arthur
lepte
on
the
same
knyghtes
horse
and
toke
his
spere
.
Than
an
other
knyght
cryed
and
sayd
,
syr
knyght
beware
of
me
,
than
Arthur
tourned
&
encountred
hym
,
and
the
knyght
brake
his
spere
,
but
Arthur
strake
hym
so
rudely
that
his
spere
went
clene
thrughout
hys
body
,
and
so
he
fell
downe
deed
,
than
there
ran
at
hym
.x.
other
knyghtes
al
at
ones
,
and
they
strake
him
on
al
sydes
with
great
and
myghty
strokes
,
than
he
toke
his
good
swerde
and
strake
one
of
them
soo
rudely
that
he
claue
hym
clene
to
the
sholdres
,
and
an
other
he
claue
from
the
sholders
downe
to
the
backe
bone
,
and
delte
amonge
them
such
strokes
that
he
confounded
a●l
that
he
attayned
vnto
,
and
by
that
tyme
he
hadde
great
nede
of
such
herbes
as
mayster
steuen
gaue
hym
,
and
also
his
whyte
shelde
and
good
swerde
dyd
hym
there
good
seruyce
,
for
suche
knyghtes
as
he
hadde
slayne
were
chosen
m●
&
ryght
puyssaunt
but
Arthurs
chyualrye
surmounted
all
other
,
for
there
he
dydde
so
muche
wyth
his
handes
that
he
slewe
all
that
euer
were
agaynst
hym
.
Than
he
rusht
forth
with
his
horse
and
wyst
not
whether
,
til
at
the
last
he
hearde
the
gryndynge
togyther
of
two
milstones
one
vpon
another
as
they
do
in
a
myll
,
wherby
all
the
earth
about
Arthur
did
shake
,
and
the
cause
why
that
these
stones
went
thus
aboute
was
for
there
stode
by
them
a
great
fat
of
brasse
wherin
there
was
a
great
machomet
syttynge
vpon
a

made
by

who
blewe
from

soo
greate
a
wynde
that
these
stones
turned
therby
so
swyftly
that
no
creature
could
passe
by
them
wythout
death
.
Than
Arthur
approched
to
these
mylstones
,
but
than
he
felte
so
terryble
a
wynde
that
he
was
fayne
to
alyght
downe
of
his

and
wente
on

as
well
as
he
myght
,
but
he
sawe
wel
that
he
coude
not
come
nere
these
stones
without
he
should
dye
,
therfore
he
went
rounde
aboute
them
to
se
what
wayes
he
myght
come
to
them
,
and
at
last
he
founde
a
lytle
brydge
,
whiche
was
so
narowe
that
one
man
could
not
passe
by
another
,
and
vnder
thys
brydge
there
was
so
great
a
pyt
that
the
botom
therof
could
not
be
perceyued
,
and
there
were

And

that

&
fro

THan
Arthur
wence

&
thought
to
haue

but
the

.
well
sayde
Arthur
shewe
vnto
me
what
is
the
cause
,
and
from
whence
commeth
al
this
darknes
.
Syr
sayd
he
it
commeth
out
of
a
greate
pi●ce
that
is
in
this
toure
,
and
there
be
greate
gryffons
that
descendeth
downe
into
thys
pyt
,
and
in
the
bottome
therof
there
is
a
great
hideous
fyre
,
made
so
by
crafte
that
no
man
can
tell
how
,
out
of
the
whych
the●e
ryseth
so
blacke
and
so
thicke
a
fume
and
smoke
the
whych
ryseth
out
of
this
p●t
by
certayne
dores
and
wyndowes
,
wherby
the
light
of
the
son
and
of
the
brighte
skye
is
so
quenched
that
it
is
euer
contynually
darke
,
the
which
derknes
conteineth
the
circuite
of
.v.
leges
compasse
as
I
haue
shewed
you
before
,
wherfore
all
this
country
is
clene
wasted
&
destroied
and
all
the
people
fledde
out
therof
.
And
why
sayd
Arthur
did
he
all
this
cruelte
Certaynly
said
the
knight
I
shal
shewe
to
you
,
it
is
of
trouth
that
here
by
there
is
an
abbey
of
white
monkes
who
were
wont
to
be
reputed
ryghte
noble
and
of
great
possessyons
,
&
most
comonly
kynges
or
prynces
whan
they
paste
by
that
place
they
would
there
rest
and
herbour
them
,
and
there
they
should
be
well
serued
,
and
it
was
named
the
abbey
of
the
grace
dieu
,
and
the
abbot
is
a
right
wise
man
and
a
noble
,
for
he
is
brother
vnto
the
lorde
of
Argenton
who
was
falslye
slayne
by
treason
by
this
dukes
neuew
the
whych
fortuned
to
come
to
the
sayde
abbey
vpon
an
Ester
day
in
the
fore
none
in
the
same
season
that
the
abbot
and
al
his
hole
couent
were
in
solemne
processyon
,
and
because
that
the
couent
did
not
at
his
fyrst
comyng
leue
the
seruyce
of
god
that
they
were
in
,
to
haue
layde
the
tables
,
&
to
haue
brought
him
meate
and
drynke
to
haue
fylled
his
paunche
,
therfore
he
was
so
displesed
that
incontynent
he
lepte
on
his
horse
,
and
so
was
departyng
and
his
false
enchaunter
with
hym
,
And
whan
the
abbot
knewe
that
,
as
soone
as
he
myghte
he
came
to
hym
and
desyred
him
to
●atye
,
but
in
no
wyse
he
could
make
hym
to
chaunge
his
purpose
:
but
in
the
most
shamefullest
wyse
that
he
could
he
rebuked
them
,
and
called
them
foule
rotten
chur●es
,
promysynge
to
do
them
as
greate
dyspleasure
as
could
lye
in
hys
power
to
doo
,
so
he
hath
done
as
ye
may
se
,
for
he
hath
caused
them
euer
lyth
to
lyue
in
great
darknes
,
and
also
he
hath
taken
from
theym
all
theyr
rentes
and
possessyons
which
they
helde
vnder
hym
or
in
his
rule
in
al
the
londe
of
Argenton
,
for
in
al
that
cyrcuyte
labourers
coulde
not
laboure
for
theyr
lyuyng
for
lacke
of
lyghte
,
wherefore
many
of
them
be
famisshed
for
hunger
,
and
to
saye
the
trouth
in
thys
sayde
abbey
the
seruyce
of
god
hath
not
be
minys●red
this
fyue
yere
.
well
sayd
Arthur
t●at
is
greate
domage
:
but
I
praye
th●
tell
me
howe
may
this
darkenes
be
fordone
.
Syr
sayd
the
knyght
the
enchaunter
whan
he
made
this
fyre
was
ryghte
sore
dysplesed
because
that
there
sprang
oute
of
the
earthe
euen
by
this
terryble
fyre
a
fayre
fountayne
,
wherby
he
right
well
knew
that
this
fyre
should
be
quenched
if
anye
knyghte
myghte
attayne
to
come
therto
,
and
to
cast
the
water
therof
into
the
fyre
,
and
so
than
al
the
darknes
should
cease
for
euermore
after
.
¶
How
that
Arthur
entred
into
the
toure
tenebrous
,
and
how
he
there
quenched
the
fyre
,
wherby
all
the
terryble
enchauntemente
ceased
.

THan
Arthur
sayd
,
frend
brynge
me
to
this
sayd
toure
than
he
wente
on
before
&
Arthur
folowed
hym
,
&
so
wente
fast
by
the
greate

and
dores
o●
the

speres
length
square
out
of
the

there
yssued
soo
great
haboundaunce
of
fume
that
his
bryght
shelde
lost
clene
his
shynyng
,
wherfore
he
was
sore
troubled
for
than
he
could
se
no
maner
of
thynge
how
be
it
they
dyd
so
muche
by
gropyng
that
at
the
laste
they
came
Iuste
to
the
toure
,
and
there
they
founde
the
walles
pyght
ful
of
sharpe
barres
of
yren
set
as
thicke
as
the

of
an

of

of
halfe
a

to
thentent
that
no
creature
should
approche
nere
to

,
so
there
was
none
entre
but
at
a
lytle
wycket
,
and
with
moche
payne
the
knyght
dyd
open
it
,
and
whan
that
it
was
opened
there
yssued
out
so
greate
haboundaunce
of
smoke
that
the
derkenes
therby
was
doubled
throughout
all

,
so
that
neyther

neuerthelesse
Arthur
entred
in
at
the
wycket
and
left
the
knyght
wythout
,
the
smoke
and
hete
was
ryght
greuous
to
hym
,
for
yf
there
had
not
ben
more
valure
in
hym
than
in
ony

he
had
bene
there
clene
ouercome
,
and
alwayes
he
went
downewarde
on
the
stayres
and
sawe
nothyng
,
but
he
felt
so
manye
greate
strokes
that
oftentymes
thereby
he
was
constrayned
to
knele
on
hys
knees
,
but
he
coulde
not
tell
from
whens
they
came
,
or
who
dydde
gyue
them
to
hym
,
and
euer
he
flourysshed
aboute
wyth
his

but
it
auayled
hym
nothynge
,
for
he
strake
he
wyst

so
fynally
he
was

for

thoughe

alwayes
thus
he
wente
euer
downwarde
on

tyll
at
the
laste
he
came
downe
to
the
botom
,
&
there
he
founde
a
fayre
greate
fawte
,
and
there
he
felt
so
great
hete
that
he
swette
so
therby
that
he
was
nye
ouercome
,
and
as
he
felte
aboute

he
perceyued
that
he
was
nye

and
as
he
went
ferder
he
founde
out
the
fountayne
by
the
reason
of
the
colde
ayre
that
he
felte
,
wherof
he
was
ryght

and
soo
than
he
toke

plunged
it
into
the

,
and
bare
as
muche
water
therin
as
he
coulde
and
dyd

and
euer
he
fetched

and
contynually
dyde
caste

,
and
euer
as
the
fyre
quenched
the
darkenes
began
to
mynysshe
,
and
the
more
water
he
dydde
caste
into
the
fyre
,
the
clerer
the
lyght
began
to
waxe
,
and
at
the
conclusion
he
dydde
caste
soo
muche
water
that
the
fyre
was
clene
quenched
,
than
myght
he
se
clerely
all
aboute
hym
,
than
he
perceyued
on
bothe
the
sydes
of
the
stayres
how
there
stode
greate
ymages
of
brasse
holdynge
in
theyr
handes
greate
maces
of
stele
the
whyche
had
doone
hym
moche
trouble
as
he
wente
downewarde
,
but
than
theyr
power
was
ended
,
for
whan
the
fyre
was
quenched
the
enchauntement
was
fynysshed
,
than
Arthur
whan
he
sawe
that
all
was
done
he
retourned
vp
agayne
the
stayres
,
and
was
ryghte
wery
of
hys
trauayle
,
what
for
he●e
and
swetynge
and
the
greate
strokes
that
he
had
receyued
,
and
so
came
agayne
to
the
lytle
wycket
where
as
the
knyghte
was
styll
abydynge
,
and
whan
he
sawe
Arthur
hole
and
sounde
and
on
lyue
he
kneled
downe
before
hym
and
sayd
.
Syr
ye
be
welcome
as
he
that
is
chefe
floure
of
all
chyualry
of

Than
Arthur
set
hym
downe
vpon
the
grene
grasse
to
take
his
brethe
,
and
did
of
his
helme
and
shelde

So
thus
all
the
countre
was
clene
delyuered
fro
darkenes
,
soo
that
euery
bodye
myght
se
clerely
aboute

wherof
the

and
so
they
went

And
than
the

sayd

yf

,
for
verely
I
thynke
it
be
the
gentyl

Than
the
abbot
and
al

and
there
they
founde
Arthur

And
whan
Arthur
sawe
them
he
toke
to

and
hys

And
whan

And
whan
Bawdewyn
sawe

al

he
thought
veryly
that

and
thus
as
he
made
thys
great
sorow
at

he
espyed
Arthur
wheras
he
stode
,
than
hys

And
the

Syr

ye

And

Ryght

and
for

I
sawe

of

di●●
,
but
neuer
syth
god
was
borne
hath
there
bene
seen
soo
fayre
a

so
gentyll
nor
so
gracyous
.
And
whan
Florence
herde
spekyng
of
the
whyte
shelde
,
●he
thought
than
veryly
that
it
was
her
shelde
the
whiche
was
in
her
pauylyon
at
the
porte
noyre
,
and
thought
veryly
that
it
was
her
frende
&
louer
Arthur
that
bare
it
of
whome
she
herde
so
muche
good
reported

and
thus
wyth
her

thought
her

trembled
and
sodenly
therby
she
blusshed

how

I
se

so
that
I
may
speke

Than
the

sayd
in
the

of

thys

is
right
valyaunt
,
what
is
the
cause
syr

but
he
answered

that

and
sayd
if

than
the

began
to
speke
to
the
kinge

Syr

●routh
that
i●
is
a

past
syth

to
me
your
good

that
I
shold
haue
in
mariage
the
fayre
lady
Florence
your
doughter
here
presente
,
but
she
hath
euer
excused
her selfe
because
of
the
late
departyng
out
of
this
worlde
of
the
quene
her
mother
,
for
●h●
thought
it
was
not
pertayning
to
her
to
haue
bene
maryed
so
soone
after
her
decese
,
it
is
now
so
grete
a
season
syth
that
there
can
no
blame
be
reputed
to
her
now
to
be
maried
,
therefore
syr
nowe
I
require
you
that
ye
wyl
incontinent
deliuer
her
to
me
according
to
your
promyse
made
to
me
before
this
tyme
.
In
the
name
of
God
sayde
the
kynge
,
it
is
but
reason
and
right
that
I
should
so
do
,
and
so
I
wyll
do
,
wherfore
fayre
&
swete
doughter
Florence
ye
wer
borne
in
a
good
hou●e
,
whan
so
noble
&
so
hye
a
person
as
the
emperour
is
wyl
haue
you
in
maryage
,
whe●by
great
honoure
and
wele
shall
come
to
vs
all
and
to
all
our
countryes
let
vs
incontinent
sende

my

the
archbysshop
to
thentent
to
ensure
you
togyther
.
Right
dere
father
sayd
Florence
it
is
ye●
ryght
ouer
soone
to
mary
me
,
&
for
certayne
I
am
not
in
purpose
as
yet
to
be
maryed
to
him
,
nor
yet
to
non
other
,
I
think
first
to
se
.ii.
yeres
more
passed
at
the
least
.
How
so
sayd
the
kyng
,
damosell
wyl
ye
than
do
agenst
my
wyl
as
in
the
refusynge
of
the
emperour
to
be
your
lord
in
the
way
of
mariage
.
Syr
sayd
she
I
haue
no
care
for
no
lorde
:
but
onely
for
god
&
for
you
,
for
surely
I
wyl
not
consent
to
no
maryage
.
Ye
shall
sayde
the
kynge
,
or
elles
ye
shal
right
sore
displese
me
.
Syr
qoud
she
your
displesure
shuld
greue
me
aboue
al
other
thinges
:
but
by
the
faith
that
I
owe
to
you
,
I
wyl
not
as
yet
be
maried
.
No
●ayd
the
kynge
▪
than
I
se
well
that
ye
wyll
be
nothinge
as
I
commaunde
you
,
therefore
ye
shal
do
it
whether
ye
wyl
or
not
,
&
to
take
her
by
the
hande
to
thentent
to
haue
delyuered
her
to
themperour
.
And
whan
sh●
saw
that
,
she
was
not
conten●
and
pulled
her
hande
to
her
agayne
too
thentent
that
the
emperour
should
not
touche
it
.
And
whan
the
kyng
●aw
that
he
was
ryght
sore
displeased
and
sayde
.
Damoysel
ye
haue
set
you
against

and
therefore
I

charge

nor

And
whan
Florence
saw
her
father
so
sore
dyspleased
,
she
said
.
Righ●

so
thus
they

And
thus

who
would
haue
my

Uerely
sayd
the

for
he
doubteth

And
whan

Than
th●

Than
Florence
answered
&
sayd
A
mayster
swete
frende
I
can
not
be
m●ry
,
for
I
am
gretly
greued
at
the
hert
,
for
my
lord
my
father
hath
defended
me
to
come
in
his
presence
for
a
straunger
whom●
he
wolde
that
I
should
take
in
mariage
,
but
god
shal
rather
gyue
me
d●th
than
I
wyll
take
hym
,
for
I
hate
hym
with
all
my
herte
,
&
it
behoueth
me
to
answere
whether
I
wyl
●aue
hym
or
not
betwene
this
and
to
morowe
thys
tyme
,
&
I
haue
grete
despite
that
I
shulde
thus
be
delt
with
all
with
a
straunger
.
Madame
sayd
the
mayster
now
be
ye

reste
&
peas
,
for
syth
y●
haue
a
day
respyte
I
shall
gete
you
ny●
a

●ere
lenger

,
&
I
trust
such●
fortune
may
fal
that
or
the
yere
be
ron
y●
shall
not
haue
hym
.
A
dere
mayster
sayd
she
I
hertely
thanke
you
&
promyse
you
that
though
thys
emperour
be
neuer
so●
ryche
or
puyssaunt
or
full
of
noblenes
&
power
yet
I
haue
no
heart
of
all
his
rychesse
:
for
I
thanke
god
I
am
now
one
of
the
puyssauntest
ladyes
that
is
lyuynge
,
therfore
I
care
not
for
hym
nor
for
all
his
power
.
Madame
sayd
the
mayster
now
than
I
se
well
that
your
herte
is
set
on
no
couetyse
,
but
as
me
semeth
youre
heart
is
set
all
on
gentylnes
,
and
byleue
veryly
that
loue
in
your
heart
is
free
&
swete
where
as
it
ought
to
be
to
all
people
excepte
to
themperour
for
there
I
thynke
your
hert
is
fell
&
hateful
,
but
madame
here
be
two
thynges
contrary
to
be
in
one
heart
both
loue
&
hate
,
how
may
it
agre
togyther
,
to
loue
&
to
hate
,
to
be
meke
&
fell
,
I
can
not
se
how
this
may
be
.
A
mayster
sayd
she
ha●e
no
maruayle
of
thys
though
I
say
that
my

is
both
meke

certayn●y

by

saynt
Steuen
of

he

,
&
if

I
trust
he

well

.
Madam●
layd
the
mayster
,
maryage
that
is
made
by
force
is
gr●atly
to
be
dou●●ed
,
but
whan
it
is
made
mekely
and
swetely
by
the
agrement
of
both
partyes
than
lyghtly
lou●
contynueth
euer
af●er
bytwene
them
,
&
whan
it
is
contrary
oftentymes
both
partyes
endureth
many
yll
dayes
and
nyghtes
,
but
madame
now
that
I
knowe
wel

but
I

know
ayenst
whome
your

amyable
,
than

beh●ld
the

And

A

for
I
neuer

,
I

I
can
not

mayster
ye

therfore
I

for
ye

and
I

Madame

lyueth
,
and
freest
of
heart
in
al

,
for
he
is
the
chefe
floure
of

also
he
is
the

Than

Gentil

Madame

Than
Florence

&
sayd
,
mayster
ther●
as

And
as

At

for

bycause

and
I
trust

both
the
kinge
and
themperour
that
of

they

Than
the

Than
the
archebysshop
dyd
laugh
,
and
so
they
were
al
of
his
accorde
.
Than
they
sent
to
the
kyng●
duke

and
syr
Brysebar
,
and
the

had
ryght

And
so
these

retour●ed

&
shewed
how
that
the
kyngge
was
right
well
content
&
was
right
Ioyfull
to

Than
Florence
apparayled
her

So
the
kynge
of
orqueney
dyd

and

all
they
folowed

and
in

hartes
they
cursed
hym

of
thys
pletinge
and
varyaunce
,
and
prayed
to
god
that

Thus
Florence

,
and
themperoure

saw
wel
how
that
the
land
of
Argenton
was
the
moost
good
lyest
countre
that
euer
he
sawe
,
for
he
perceyued
wel
how
that

was
ful
of
riches

worldly
welth
,
he
sawe
many
noble

sporting
them
by
the
ryuers
syde
with

gerfawcons
on

and
so
he
perceiued
wel
that
bicause
of
the
good

of

country
the
dukes
neuew
would
disheryte
the
fayre
ladye
Margaret
,
&
he
rode
so
long
til
at

he
saw
the

shining
agenst
the

,
enuoyred
with

ful
of

C.
toures

walles
barred
wyth
great
chaines
of

,
and
sayde
to

that

well
be
called
Argence
,
for
it
semed
wel
to
be
of

that
is
to

,
syluer
.
Thus
Arthur
entred
into

&
the
vylain
went
euer
before
him
with
his
leuer

his
neck
bare

Thus

some
sytting
before
their
owne
dores
,
croslegged
leaning
on
their
elbowes
,
makyng
no
maner
of
Ioyfull
semblaunt
but
soberly
musinge
&
some
of
them
behelde
the
vylayne
,
who
neuer
ceased
crying
,
he
is
come
that
shal
gyue
light
.
And
so
in
this
maner
Arthur
rode
euer
styll
forthe
tyll
he
came
into
the
myddes
o●
the
Citie
,
and
there
he
saw
a
great
companye
of
knightes
and
burgeyses
aboute
the
number
of
.xxxv.
ca●kynge
together
in
counsayl
but
it
semed
by
their
chere
that
they
had
no
great
ioy
in
the●●
heartes
.
Than
the
vylayn
enforced
him selfe
to
crye
louder
than
he
dydde
before
he
is
come
that
shal
gyue
lyghte
.
Than
these
knyghtes
behelde
the
vylayne
wel
and
saw
how
that
Arthur
folowed
him
whereof
they
had
greate
maruayle
.
And
at
the
last
a
knight
of
that
company
called
syr
Emery
,
came
to
Arthur
and
curteysly
dyd
salute
him
and
sayd
.
Syr
it
is
myne
offyce
in
this
citye
to
receyue
and
to
lodge
al
gentilmen
straungers
that
resorteth

,
and
syr
here
is
myne
house
,
therfore
I
desyre
you
to
alyght
of
youre
horse
and
to
entre
into
it
.
Syr
I
thanke
you
sayd
Arthur
,
how
be
it
I
se
wel
that
I
must
nedes
go
ferder
●o
seke

Syr
sayde
the
knyght
▪
sauyng
your
dysplesure
,
ye
shal
not
passe
by
my
house
to
seeke
an
other
lodgyng
therefore
by
the
fayth
that
I
owe
vnto
god
ye
shal
abyde
with
me
.
Ye
but
syr
sayd
the
vylayn
,
I
trowe
ye
wyll
not
abyde
,
for
ye
haue
promysed
to
folowe
me
whether
so
euer
I
go
,
therfore
come

,
for
I
wyl

before
,
and
so
was
goyng
forth
▪
and
euer
cryed
he
is
come
that
shall
gyue
lyghte
.
Than
Arthur
desyred
the
vylayue
to
tary
,
and
at
the
last
he
agreed
thereto
,
and
Arthur
rode
forthe
to
syr
Eme●ys
dore
,
and
there
a
lighted
than
the
other
knightes
left
theyr
counseyle
,
and
dyd
salute
Arthur
,
and
he
them
●gayne
right
courteously
,
and
they
beheld
Arthur
wel
and
praysed
him
muche
in
their
heartes
,
for
he
was
right
tayre
and
gratious
.
Than
sy●
Eme●y
toke
Arthur
by
the
hand
and
led
hym
into
a
fayre
chambre
to
vnarme
hym
,
And
in
the
meane
tyme
that
he
was
vnarmynge
,
mayster
Steuen
,
syr
Brysebat
and
syr
Neuelon
the
sensshal
wer
come
to
the
same
syr
Emeris
house
to
take
theyr
lodgyng
there
and
so
●oke
theyr
chaumbre
,
and
whan
the
mayste●
had
chaunged
his
gete
he
wente
downe
in
to
the
ha●l
,
and
the
other
twoo
knyghtes
with
him
,
&
the
valiaunt
knew
them
ryght
well
and
sa●led
them
by
the●e
names
.
And
therwithal
Bawd●win
came
out
of
the
chaumbre
fro
Arthur
,
and
as
soo●e
as
he
sawe
the
maister
and
Brisebar
he
●anne
and
courteously
byd
salute
them
with
a
ioyfull
heart
.
Than
the
mayster
demaunded
of
him
where
as
Arthur
his
ma●ster
was
.
Syr
sayde
he●
in
thys
ch●mbre
here●y
.
And
than
●●ey
all
entred
into
the
●●aumbre
.
And
as
soone
as
Arth●r
sawe
them
,
he
ranne
and
enbrased
the
mayst●●
,
and
after
Brysebar
and
sayd
.
Mine
owne
good
companions
of
the
roche
,
hither
ye
be
right
her●ely
welcome
.
Also
he
dyd
salute
syr
Neuelon
the
senes●hall●
who
in
his
herte
praysed
hym
gr●tely
.
And
whan
syr
Emery
saw
how
the
mayster
made
so
great
chere
to
Arthur
,
than
he
thought
verelye
that
he
should
be
some
great
man
,
for
he
knewe
wel
that
the
maister
was
a
kinges
son
,
Than
they
sate
them
down
on
a
beddes
syde
.
Than
the
maister
recounted
at
the
werke
that
had
ben●
in
king
Emendus
coutte
,
and
how
that
themperour
desyred
to
haue
had
Florence
in
maryage
at
the
same
tyme
,
and
shewed
hym
how
by
hys
meanes
he
dyd
lette
it
at
that
tyme
and
ga●e
lenger
respyte
tyl
Bartylm●w
●yde
,
at
which
time
there
is
cryed
a
great
Iustes
and
tournaye
,
and
there
he
shewed
him
in
his
eare
the
salutation
that
Florence
dyd
sende
hym
,
and
how
that
she
desyred
hym
to
be
there
at
that
time
and
to
shewe
there
parte
of
his
prowes
for
her
sake
.
Than
Arthur
smyled
and
en●raced
the
maister
manye
times
.
And
whan
they
had
thus
talked
a
good
space
than
the
maister
called
to
hym
sir
Emery
theyr
hoost
,
and
caused
hym
to
sytt●
downe
by
them
.
Than
Arthur
demaunded
of
hym
wherefore
the
knyghtes
and
cytezyns
of
th●t
citie
were
so
sad
.
And
he
an●wered
and
sayde
,
syr
for
it
wyll
be
no
better
,
and
we
haue
all
good
cause
so
to
do
,
and
than
he
began
to
shewe
hym
how
that
in
the
same
house
there
was
a
da●osel
who
was
doughter
to
the
lord
of
that
same
cytye
,
and
of
all
the
londe
of
Argenton
,
and
how
that
she
was
the
ryght●ul
h●yre
of
all
that
countrey
,
and
how
that
the
duke
of
B●gores
neuewe
d●●●alselye
mu●●re
by
treason
the
lorde
her
●ath●r
&
so
shewed
hym
al
the
hole
matter
as
ye
haue
herade
before
,
and
also
he
shewed
hym
howe
that
the
dukes
neuew
would
mary
her
to
a
lewd
●adde
hys
barbour
,
and
how
that
he
had
dys●eryted
her
of
forty
thousande
pounde
of
lond
by
yerely
rent
,
and
now
he
hath
sommoned
all
the
gentylmen
of
all
the
country
round
about
,
and
wil
that
they
shall
do
homage
vnto
hym
,
and
so
it
behoueth
theym
to
haue
a
false
murtherer
to
their
lorde
,
and
to
reny
their
rightful
heyre
,
&
therfore
syr
al
the
noble
men
of
this
cou●try
&
citie
haue
bene
in
counsa●l
for
this
mater
:
but
the
conclusion
of
their
counsayl
was
thus
▪
how
that
they
wolde
make
no
maner
of
resistence
agenst
the
dukes
neuew
,
but
rather
suffre
their
ladie
to
be
disherited
and
banisshed
from
her
owne
lande
,
howbeit
right
gladly
they
would
moue
war
against
him
,
but
they
lacke
a
captayne
,
for
they
thynke
verely
that
a
woman
to
be
chief
head
in
warre
shuld
cause
it
at
length
to
be
of
lytel
effect
.
Than
Arthur
sayd
,
syr
I
haue
somwhat
herde
or
this
of
this
matter
,
but
I
pray
you
fayre
host
is
this
sayd
lady
here
in
your
hous
.
Ye
syr
truly
said
he
here
benethe
in
a
fayre
parloure
,
for
she
hath
bene
euer
here
in
my
hous
sithe
the
deth
of
her
father
,
for
I
haue
promised
neuer
to
fayle
her
.
Than
maister
Steuen
said
good
hoost
I
requyre
you
know
this
ladyes
plesure
whether
she
wyll
be
content
that
we
might
speke
with
her
.
Syr
sayd
he
with
a
right
good
wyll
than
he
went
into
the
par●our
where
as
she
was
the
same
tyme
beginnyng
of
our
ladies
euen
song
,
&
was
at
these
wordes
(
De{us}
in
adiutorium
meum
int●de
)
that
is
to
say
good
lord
entend
to
mine
ayd
&
succour●
And
therwith
she
espied
syr
Emery
and
sayde
,
syr
ye
be
welcome
.
And
he
dyd
salue
her
and
sayd
,
madame
here
is
aboue
in
a
chambre
a
knyght
the
moost
fayrest
creature
of
the
worlde
,
and
maister
Steuen

of
Soroloys
,
clerke
,
and
sone
vnto
the
noble
kynge
of
valefound
dothe

to

,
the
which

and
as

helpe
me
as
I
perceyue
by
hym
he
is
in

to
helpe
and
succour
you
in
your
nede
,
shall
I
cause
hym
to
come
to
speke
with
you
,
To
come
to
me
fayre
frend
quod
the
lady
,
nay
god
forbydde
,
for
they
that
haue
nede
ought
to
seeke
for

,
and
not
to
tary
●yl
it
be
brought
to
them
for
and
they
doo
,
it
may
fortune
to
come
to

,
and
as
for
me
I
haue
great
nede
of
him
y●
he
would
helpe
me
,
as
for
him
he
hath
no
nede
of

,
therfore
it
is
reason
that
I
go

hym
.
Than
she
apparayled
her
and
went
forth
and
en●red
in
to
the
chambre
where
as
they
were
,
and
as
soone
as
they
saw
her
they
rose
and
dyd
salute
her
&
couse●
her
to
syt
down●
and
she
semed
to

ryghte
fayre
,
gentyll
and
gracyous
,
and
dyd

ryghte
swetelye

Than
Arthur
said
,
●ayre

She
answered
and
●ayde
,
●yr
it
is
reason
that
I
shuld
so
do
for
I
am
a

&
therfore
it
is
reason
that
I

Than
maister
Steuen
demaunded

she

.
Lordes

maysters
I
t●ynke
veryly
that

for
I
shewe
vnto

how
that
there
is
a
knyght
in
my

who
hath
delyuered
out
of
prison
the
noble
markes
vncle
to
my

,
&
also
he
hath
acheued
all
the
aduentures
of
the
port
noyre
,
as
maister
Steuen
hath
shewed
vnto
my
lady
,
and
accordynge
to
the
trouth
I
thynke
it
be
he
that
did
great
prowesse
in
the
valey
of
valefounde
&
at
the
tour
tenebrous
,
and
also
he

to

ayenst

though

neuer

.
Certaynly
frende
sayd
all
those
knyghtes
we
byleue
veryly
that
all
hys
trauayle
is
in
wast
For
thys
dukes
neuewe
is
ryght
fyerse
&
doubteth
no
creature
,
for
there
is
not
suche
a
knyghte
in
all
the
worlde
,
wythout
it
be
the
knyght
that
hath
acheued
the
sayd
aduentures
that
ye

Veryly
sayd
syr
Emery
I
beleue
the

knyght
is
he
,
&
at
the
leest
I
am
in

it

he
that
hath
conquered
the
port
noyre
.
Than
anone
these
tydynges
were
spred
abrode
throughout
all
the

,
than
there
came
knightes
&
bourgeyses
by
great

so
he
layde
forth
his

to
haue
had

&
whan
the

humble
himselfe
so
mekely
,
her

began
to

&
so
toke
of

some

A
madame
sayd
Powcet
this

hath
euyll
enployed
his

that

and
nowe
ye
to

so
rudely
,
he
hath
done
more
bounte
and
cu●tesy
syth
he
came
hyther
than
euer
dyd
onye
that
euer
came
vnto
this
place
to
s●
you
,
though
they
were
neuer
so
noble
or

,
it
is
reason
that
he
may
fele
that
he
hathe
not
yll
enployed
his
gyft
that
he
hath
gyuen
for
youre
sake
,
and
also
he
hath
Ieoperded
hys
lyfe
in
this
behalf
,
it
came
of
a
great
gentilnes
of
herte
to
gyue
awaye
his

,
and
of
a
great
valure
of
courage
to
put
this
his

for

,
full
lytell
durst
thus
haue

foly
,
they
lacke
in
theyr
hertes
suche
bounte
&
valure
,
I
say
not
all
thys
all
onely
for
his
sake
,
for
I
neuer
sawe
him
afore
this
daye
,
but
as
helpe
me
god
I
se
by
reason
that
loue
hath
caused
hym
thus
to
do
,
for
yf
he
had
not
loued
you
he
wolde
haue
done
nothynge

therfore

cruelte
that
ye

&
speke

Powcet
sayd
the

I
can
not
I

for
he
hath
dyspleased
me
with

hider
,
for
it
is
no

to

though
I
wer
shamed

.
Madame

Powcet
yf

for

that
shal
knowe
therof
wyll
saye
that
ye
caused
hym
to
come
,
&
the
more
that
knoweth
therof
the
worse
it
is
,
for
whan
a
thynge
is
doone
it
is
conuenyent
to
let
it
passe
as
easely
as
may
be
,
and
to

it
secrete
for
all
is
lytle
ynough
,
syr
knyght
knele
ye
downe
and
crye
my

Than
Gouernar
kneled

And
she
beheld

he
was
bare
heded
,
&
Powcet
strake
dowe
hys
heare
wyth
her
hande
,
for
it
was
somwhat
ruffled
wyth
the
wynde
,
and
sayd
.
I
madame
beholde
&
se
what
maner
of
knight
this
is
,
and
who
is
soo
harde
herted
that

that
putteth

all
onely
to

,
certaynly
I
pardon

Than
the

but
so
she
toke
Goue●nar

&
caused

than
Powcet
bad

downe
by
her
lady
,
but
for
courtesye
he
would
not

the
fyrst
biddyng
,
Than
Powcet
sayd
,
syr
knyght
now

take
any
care
for
anye
of
the
knightes
of

,
and
without
ye

and
make

therwith
Gouernar
sate
●own
and
enbraced
and
desyred
the
ladye
that
she
wold
pardon
him
,
and
so
she
did
,
&
than
Gouernar
all
smylyng
cast
forth
many
prety
&
goodly
wordes
,
and
euer
he
found
the
lady
gentyl
&
swete
of
her
answeres
Than
Powcet
said
,
sister
Eglentine
my

for
I
thynke
she
would
fayne
be

,
and
soo
they
wente
theyr
way
,
and
the
lady
called
them
again
,
but
that
was
very
softely
,
for
it
was
with
a
dead
voice
.
And
than
anon
powcet
h●rd
the
curteyns
drawen
about
the
bed
,
and
she
knewe
well
there
were
no
mo
creatures
but
the

Than
Gonernar
began
a
lytel
so
speake
fayre
,
as
these
louers
do●he
whan
they
would
haue
their
desyres
,
and
at
the
last
he
dyd
●o
muche
that
they
were
agreed
to
lye
together
,
and
so
to
bed
they
went
,
and
there
they
toke
suche
pastaun●e
together
as
these
louers
are
wont
to
do
whan
they
be
in
lyke
case
.
And
than
Gouernar
demaunded
of
the
lady
why
she
had
done
hym
so
much
vylany
as
in
that
she
would
not
speake

In
the

said
the

the
cause
was
for

Well

&
so
he
enbraced
and
kissed
the

,
&
thus
they
were

Than

And

Than

&
his

but
Gouernar
wolde

I

maner
of

for

Than

wherfore
he
blamed
moche

So
th●n

came
thither

and
sayde
one
to

beholde

Gouernar
had
wonne

than
h●
vnarm●d

for
he
was
somwhat
wery

.
And
whan
the

was
in

he
commaunded
that
the
gates
should
be
set
open
,
&
that
euery
man
should
come
in
who
soo
euer
wolde
,
and
than

And

A

wherfore
it
is
good
to

Than
the

and
there
they
were
talkyng
and
enquyrynge

In

And

madame
I
praye

and
so
she
dydde
ryghte

how

she
was
not

Gouernar
wisely
excused

sayd

Fayre

Than
the
countesse
was
right
sore
displesed
because
he
would
not
abyde

Than
the
souper
was
redy
&
water

conuayed

house
,
&
the

commaunded
that
his

should
take
nothyng

than
Gouernar
toke

betimes

commaunded
his

gaue
him
al
the
horses
that

the

thanked

And
so
Gouernar
entred
into

Now

How
that
after

was
departed
fro

to
go
to
the
castell
of
hurtbyse
to
the
wounded
knight
who
had
sent
for
hym
,
in
his
way
at
the
last
he
found
at
the
entryng
of
a
fayre
forest
thre
ladyes
of
right
excellent
beauty
,
of
whom
the
chefe
was
called
Proserpin
quene
of
the
fayry
who
greatly
desired
Arthur
of
his
loue
,
but
in
no
wyse
he
would
agre
ther
to
,
&
there
he
lost
his
varlet
that
was
his
guyde
,
wherfore
it
behoued
him
to
tarye
there
all
that
nyght
,
for
it
was
dark
and
wyst
not
whyther
to
go
.
Cap.

SO
it
was
that
when
the
kyng

was
〈◇〉
f●o
argenton
he
rode
streight
into
his
own
country
for
to
make
redi
his
people
to
go
at
Bartylmewtide
to
the
turney
at
Cornite
,
&
duke
Philip
went
to

to
apparaile
his

&
syr
Neuelon
,
syr
An●ean
,
syr
Artaude

&
how
that
the
wounded
knight
of
the
castel
of
hurtbise
had
sent

hym
,
and
how
that
he
was
gone
thyther
.
Than
the
kyng
was
sory
in
hys
herte
,
for
he
had
great
fere
of
him
lest
that
he
should
neuer
returne
agayne
for
he
knew
wel
that
many
good
knightes
were
perished
there
.
And
in
especyall
Florence
was
ryght
sorowful
,
for
there
was
none
that
could
recomfort
her
.
And
Arthur
euer
rode
forth
after
the

,
&
so
rode
.iii.
dayes

and
than
they
aryued
at
a

place
who
was
uncle
to
the
squyer
that
was
Arthurs
guide
,
&
there
they
were
wel
receyued
,
and
so
sat
down
to
dyner
&
were
wel
serued
.
And
whan
they
hadde
dined
than
they
mounted
on
theyr
horses
agayn
,
&
so
rode
forth
tyl
it
was
night
,
&
than
they
entred
into
a
lytel
narow
way
betwene
a
fayre
forest
&
a
grene
medow
,
and
so
they
rode
forthe
wel
the
space
of
halfe
a
mile
,
and
the

to
shine
fayre
&

and
at

they
came
to
a

beauty
,
but
she
that
was
in

myddes
was
soueraine
most
fayre
,
for
she
al
only
had
more
beauty
than
bothe
the
other
.ii.
and
yet
they
were
as
fayre
as
could
be
deuysed
.
And
whan
Arthur
had
espyed
them
,
he
set
his
fete
to
the
earth
&
lighted
fro
his
horse
,
&
she

was
in

rose
whan
the

&
there
Arthur

and
they

,
and
the

brought
Arthur
thither
,
toke

A

I

he

Than

Than

Than
the

where
as
he
found
the
sayd
quene
nobly
accompanyed
&
all
they
rose
ayenst
Arthur
,
&
he
ryght
swetely
dyd

than
the

caused

&
he
said
Madame

So

moche
sorowe
whan

,
for
all
the

had
trusted
that
he
should

.
Than
Arthur
mounted
on
his
horse
&
so
departed
out
of
the
castel
,
&
soo
came
to
the
hurt
knight
and
demaunded

How

Capitulo

SO
it
was
that
whan
Arthur
was
departed
fro
Proserpyne
he
rode
so
longe
tyll
at
the
laste
he
entred
in
to
the
londe
of
the
duke
of
bygors
neuewe
and
so
by
aduenture
he
toke
hys
lodgynge
wyth
a
knyghte
who
was
neuewe
to
syr
Isembarte
,
and
he
receyued
Arthur
wyth
grete
Ioye
,
than
he
was
vnarmed
,
and
whan
he
was
redye
wente
into
the
hall
where
as
this
knight
was
.
Than
the
knyght
demaunded
of
Arthur
what
was
hys
name
.
And
he
that
doubteth
nothynge
answered
&
sayd
,
syr
I
am
called
Arthur
,
&
my
squyer
is
named
Bawdewyn
.
Than
the
knyght
knewe
wel
that
it
was
he
that
had
●layne
his
vncle
syr
Isembarte
,
wherfore
his
hert
rose
sore
ayenst
hym
,
but
he
made
no
semblaunt
therof
,
for
he
knewe
well
that
Arthur
was
a
knyght
ryght
sore
to
be
redoubted
,
for
he
wy●te
well
he
was
not
able
to
resyst
ayenst
him
,
therfore
he
thought
to
slee
hym
in
hys
bedde
a
slepe
,
and
in
the
meane
tyme
●o
close
hym
fast●
in
a
toure
,
&
than
to
send
for
the
duke
of
Bygor
and
al
his
company
,
&
there
to
fle
hym
by
nyght
tyme
.
And
than
he
made
fayre
semblaunt
to
Arthur
&
sayde
,
syr
I
am
bounde
to
loue
you
well
bycause
ye
haue
slayne
syr
Isembart
,
for
of
all
men
lyuynge
I
hated
hym
moost
,
for
he
dydd●
me
manye
dyspleasures
,
&
thus
with
fayre
wordes
he
draue
of
the
season
with
Arthur
tyll
it
was
souper
tyme
,
and
than
he
was
ryghte
well
serued
,
and
after
souper
they
sported
them
tyll
it
was
tyme
to
goo
to
theyr
restes
.
Than
the
knyght
caused
Arthurs
bedde
to
be
made
in
a
stronge
tour
but
it
was
so
well
hanged
wyth
clothes
of
sylke
and
arres
that
Arthur
could
not
perceyue
the
walles
nor
strengthe
therof
And
whan
Arthur
and
Bawdewyn
were
entred
into
the
toure
incontynent
the
knyght
dyd
shytte
fast
the
doore
,
whych
was
all
of
yren
,
and
did
barre
it
fast
with
foure
greate
bar●e
&
escryed
on
Arthur
and
sayd

for
ye
maye
saye
ye
be
vnhappy
to
come
hither
to
your
mortall
enemy
.
And
whan
Arthur
herde
that
he
was
in
his

right
sore
dyspleased
,
&
soo
ran
to
the
doore
thinkinge
to

but
he
coude
not

for
it
was
barred
without

foure
great

.
Than
the
knyght
armed
him
and
al

,
so
that
they
were

Than

for

Than
A●thur

made
suche

Than

sawe
that
they
dydde

ryght
rudely
dartes

Than

&
there
receiued

but
they

Than
Arthur
lepte

&
so
descended
downe

Than
they

but
Arthur

And
Bawdew●n
toke

And

ANd
whan

than
was
it
knowen
how
that
the

&
thyther

they
thought
that
it
had

Than

Than

and
cut
of

and
made

to

,
and
at
the
last
he
dyd
so
moche
that
he
delyuered
hym selfe
from

all
sauynge
of

that

Than

at

he
knewe

it
was
hy●

A●thur
by

And

ANd

went
talkyng

playing
togeder
out

&
at

to
a

grene
oke
the

dyd
caste
a
fayre
shadowe
a
greate
cyrcuyte
aboute
it
,
and
the
grasse
was
fayre
and
soft
and
thyck
vnderneth
so
there
they
sate
them
d●wne
and
talked
together
of
many
thyng●s
tyl
at
the
last
the
mayster
demaunded
o●
syr
Rowlande
how
that
he
lyked
by
that
country
about
Cornyte
and
whether
it
were
fa●rer
than
the
country
of
bygor
.
Than
sir
Rowland
answered
that
it
was
not
to
hym
that
he
would
giue
any
answere
in
that
case
.
why
sayd
the
master
&
as
for
me
I
am
as
lytell
bound
to
you
,
as
you
to
me
.
well
sayd
syr
Rowland
that
maketh
no
matter
for
though
ye
be
son
to
a
kyng
yet
wyl
I
not
answere
you
in
that
matter
nor
in
non
other
,
take
it
as
ye
list
why
syr
sayd
the
mayster
haue
I
trespaced
any
thing
agenst
you
.
Yea
that
ye
haue
sayd
syr
Rowland
&
that
tyght
greuousely
for
ye
were
at
Argente
whan
my
cos●n
syr
Isembart
was
slayne
,
and
ye
kepte
companye
&
were
chefe
counseller
with
the
knight
that
slew
him
,
therfore
I
bere
grudge
in
mine
hert
agaynst
you
,
&
I
promise
to
god
that
yf
I
may
encountre
hym
that
dyd
that
deede
,
I
shal
do
as
much
to
him
as
he
hath
done
to
my
cosyn
.
Syr
sayd
the
maister
whan
ye
mete
him
ye
may
do
as
ye
wyll
,
but
often
●imes
it
fortuned
that
a
man
can
not
attayne
to
do
so
muche
as
he
would
do
,
nor
paraduenture
he
can
not
nor
dare
not
,
butte
as
for
that
dede
ye
oughte
not
to
be
dyspleased
though
right
was
done
,
for
godlightly
wyll
suffer
no
wronge
,
but
alwayes
he
fordereth
and
aideth
the
●ight
cause
how
so
eu●r
it
falleth
.
well
sayd
syr
Rowlande
than
ye
saye
howe
that
my
cosyn
was
in
the
wronge
but
there
is
none
that
sayeth
so
but
he
sayeth
otherwyse
than
trouthe
is
,
and
that
wyll
I
proue
before
euerye
ma●
ag●nst
you
and
ye
wyll
mount
on
your
horse
for
I
say
the
mat●r
was
not
truly

ega●y
del●
withall
.
Syr
sayde
the
manster
ye
lay
vnto
me
great
outrage
and
vylany
,
where
as
ye
saye
that
I
dyd
in
that
matter
otherwyse
than
well
and
t●uely
,
wherof
I
say
plainely
ye
lye
fal●ely
in
your
head
and
ce●tenly
I
shal
neuer
be
in
reste
tyll
that
I
haue
●●●te
a

agenst

to
proue
it
,
and
yf
I
can
it
shall
be
the
same
knyght
whyche
dyd
the
batayle
agenst
youre
cosyn
,
who
shal
cause
you
to
call
agayne
these
wordes
that
ye
haue
spoken
.
Than
the
mayster
rose
ryghte
g●eatly●
dyspleased
and
woulde
haue
departed
and
●●r●
that
companye
,
but
the
archebysshop
helde
hym
agayne
&
prayed
him
that
he
wold
suffre
all
that
for
that
tyme
,
&
at
hys
request
he
sayd
he
wolde
so
do
.
Than
syr
Neuelon
the
senesshall
sayd
to
syr
Rowlande
,
syr
be
content
with
the
wordes
of
the
mayster
for
he
is
a
man
of
greter
dygnyte
than
ye
be
of
,
for
though
he
had
stryken
of
your
head
,
ye
haue
not
soo
hye
a
frende
that
durst
reuenge
your
cause
,
the
noble
kynge
of
Orqueney
was
at
that
batayle
,
&
wher
as
ye
say
that
the
mater
was
not
truly
deite
wythall
,
ye
speke
than
vylany
ayenst
the
kynge
&
ayenst
Phylyp
duke
of
Sabary
his
neuewe
,
and
ayenst
all
su●he
as

there
,
the
whych
seynge
nedeth
not
there
to
be
rehersed
,
for
it
is
a
shame
to
you
to
suffre
suche
wordes
to
passe
out
of
youre
mouth
.
Than
●ore
dyspleased
Brysebar
slepte
forth
&
sayd
,
syr
Rowlande
ye
say
that
the
mayster
dyd
not
truely
in
the
mater
whan
your
cosyn
was
slayne
,
wherein
I
saye
that
ye
saye
not
truely
,
&
yf
ye
wyl
mayntayne
the
contrary
take
youre
hatneys
and
I
shal
take
myn
&
let
it
be
seen
who
is
in
the
trouth
,
&
therwith
syr
Brysebar
was
rysynge
to
haue
departed
,
but
the
bysshop
helde
him
agayn
&
sayd
,
loke
who
soo
euer
speketh
ony
worde
more
of
this
mater
let
hym
be
sure
I
shall
not
be
hys
frende
,
&
so
they
left
there
spekynge
of
that
mater
for
that
tyme
,
for
the
bysshop
brought
them
in
an
other
talkynge
,
&
as
they
were
deuysynge
&
talkynge
of
one
mater
and
other
Arthur
and
Gouernar
yssued
out
of
the
forest
and
soo
entred
in
to
the
medowe
.
And
than
Arthur
behelde
the
goodly
tentes
and
pauilyons
that
were
pyght
all
aboute
the
felde
,
and
also
he
sawe
the
sheldes
and
helmes
and
harneys
shynynge
ayenst
the

,
&
h●●de
the
greate
coursers
braye
&
crye
&
stampe
with
theyr
fete
,
the
whych
fyght
&
noyse
quyckened
his
herte
and
courage
.
At
the
last
Gouernar
espyed
Florence
pauily●●
wherin
was
the
ymage
with
the
chaplet
and
shewed
it
to
Arthur
.
And
whan
he
sawe
it
his
herte
inwardly
reioysed
,
for
he
knewe
well
it
was
his
ladyes
pauylyon
.
And
by
the
tyme
the
mayster
&
al
other
were
entred
agayne
into
the
fayre
medowe
,
&
Arthur
sate
on
hys
horse
in
a
grete
study
&
mused
of
hys
aduenture
.
And
at
the
last
syr
Myles
of
balefounde
espyed
hym
&
knewe
well
how
that
it
was
Arthur
for
he
had
seen
hym
before
at

.
Than
he
said
to
the
other
knightes
that

,
lordes

for
he
wolde

bicause
of
syr
Rowland
.
And
whan
mayster
Steuen
sawe
him
he
said
I
know

ryght
well
,
wherfore
I
trust
that
the
great
wind
that
was
lately
blowen
wyll
now
sone
be
layde
,
&
of
hys
comynge
he
had
greate
Ioye
in
his
herte
so
moche
that
he
forgate
in
a
maner
al
his
displeasure
.
Certaynly
syr
sayd
the
senesshal
he
is
right
fayre
and
gracyens
to

,
wherfore
I
byleue
he

but
me

so

By
my
hode
{quod}
Brysebar
I

Than
the
mayster
&
the
senesshall
&
Brysebar
rose
and
fayre
&
easely
wente
to
hym
warde
&
sayd
eche
to

how
that
they
wolde
not

bycause
of
syr
Rowlande
,
and
so●
they
came
before
Arthur
who
was
styll
in
his
study
.
And
Gouernar
as
soone
as
he
sawe
the

And
therwythal

Than
Arthur
blamed
Gouernar
for
his
words
&
commaunded
hym
to
be
in
peace
,
&
so
he
dyd
folowe
his

Than
Arthur
sayde

Syr

trouthe

all

but
in
a
mockery
.
Than
syr
Rowlande
went
to
arme
him
,
and
the
senesshall
and
the
archebysshop
and
mayster
Steuen
kepte
styll
company
wyth
Arthur
,
who
incontyne●te
was
armed
.
Than
the
mayster
wente
streyght
to
the
noble
Florence
,
&
founde
her
in
her
ryche
tente
standynge
on
a
cusshyn
of
sylke
,
and
as
soone
as
the
sawe
the
mayster
she
began
to
smyle
and
called
hym
to
her
.
Than
he
sayd
madame
and
it
lyke
youre

and
at
his
fyrst
comyng
syr
Rowland
of

hath
appeched
him

,
and
so

incontynent
.
And
whan
the

her

trembled
and
therwith
she
b●usshed
as
●uddy
as

and
was
in

ryght
ioyous
of
hys

and
ryghte
sore
dysplesed
that
syr

should

sone
at

than
she

I
doubte

.
Madame
said
the

ye

the
noble
valure
of

for
I
answere

the

your

,
and
your

,
and
syr
Ancean
,
&
also
syr
Miles
of
valefounde
,
and
syr
Brysebar
,
all
these
are
ryghte
sore
dyspleased
of
the
felony
that
syr
Rowland
hath
done
to

.
A

▪
let

I
pray
you
shewe
hym

for
I

Than
Florence
yssued
out
noblye
accompanied
with
ladyes
and
damoyselles
to
the
numbre
of
.
C.
C.
and
by
that
tyme
the
tydynges
was
spredde
all
about

euery
mannes
tent
how
that
syr
Rowlande
was
armyng
of

to

a
straunge
knyght
.
And
whan
the
archebisshop
&
the
other
barons
sawe
Florence
they
went
and
encountred
her
,
and
Arthur
was
in
theyr
company
,
and
there
they
saw
eche
other
,
wherwith
they
were
bothe
so
sore
stryken
wyth
the
darte
of
loue
,
that
they
lost
theyr
countenaunce
,
howe
be
it
Florence
as
goodly
as
she
myght
,
maintayned
her
countenaunce
,
and
than
she
laid
her
hande
on
the
b●sshoppes
sholdre
and
demaunded
of
him
what
knight
Arthur
was
,
who
aboue
al
other
semed
to
be
the
most
gracyous
&
g●n●yll
,
and
he
had
his
helme
of
his

and
behelde
euer
Florence
,
and
also
her
fayre
eyen
wente
neuer
fro
hym
,
for
she
coulde
not
kepe
her selfe
fro

.
Than
Brysebar
sayde
,
madam
this
same
is

the
fowle
monster
of

&
euer

In

and
with

I

Ryght

I
humbly
thanke

of
so

noble
wyse
men
as

And
with
the●e
wordes
there
came
a
messenger
to
Florence
,
and
shewed
her
how
that
the
kyng
of
orqueney
and
duke
Philyp
wer
comyng
with
.v.
C.
knightes
in
their
company
&
how
that
he
was
within
a
myle
and
a
halfe
.
They
are
ryght
●ertely
welcome
said
Florence
.
And
by
that
time
s●r
Rowland
was
armed
and
al●o
Arthur
.
Than
the
ha●aw●e
began
to
crye
go
togyther
,
bayle
,
bayle
.
Than
Gouerner
set
on
Arthurs
he●me
on
hys
head
,
&
Bawdewyn
brought
him
his
horse
,
&
he
mounted
theron
as
lightly
as
though
he
had
bene
vnarmed
,
than
he
toke
hys
whyte
shelde
and
dyd
cast
it
aboute
hys
●eck●
.
And
as
soone
as
Florence
saw
the
sheld
she
k●ew
it
ryght
wel
,
and
sayde
in
hee
h●rt●
.
I
●e●e
●o

that
shelde
becometh
you
ryght
well
,
I
pray
to
god
it
may●
be
well
enployed
vpon
you
.
Than
he
toke
a
grea●
&
a
myghty
spere
,
and
whan
he
was
redy
at
al●
poyntes
than
he
turned
his
eyen
to
ward
Florence
,
and
her
eyen
wente
neuer
fro
hym
,
but
behelde
hym
wyth
feruent
loue
and
desyre
wherwith
Arthur
toke
suche
hardynes
that
he
feared
not
all
the
worlde
at
that
houre
.
So
than
he
turned
and
dasshed
his
horse
to
wa●de
syr
Rowlande
,
&
he
in
lyke
wyse
to
him
,
&
they
went
togyther
as
though
thun●er
had
fal●ē
fro
heuen
,
&
all
that
be

them
sayd
one
to
another
,
a
good
●orde
what
a
goodly
knyghte
is
yonder
●●aunge
knyght
.
And
syr
Rowland
hyt
Arthur
so
rudely
that
he
brake
his
spere
all
to
sheuers
,
but
Arthur
strake
him
with
hys
spere
the
whych
was
so
long
&
byg
so
vnmesurably
that
he
lente
bothe
knight
and
hors
,
and
al
to
the
erth
in
a
hepe
,
wherwith
●yr
Rowlandes
arme
brake
a●onder
in
the
middes
,
and
the
hors
and
sadel
fell
so
sore
on
him
that
it
brake
two
ribbes
in
hys
syde
,
&
so
he
lay
a
great
space
in
a
traunce
wherof
Florence
had
more
●oy
than
euer
she
had
of
any
thing
,
and
specially
whan
she
sawe
her
loue
do
so
hye
dedes
of
prowes
.
Than
syr
Rowland
had
brought
thyther
.xiiii.
knyghtes
,
and
whan
they
saw
theyr
mayster
syr
Rowland
a●
that
myschyef
they
all
toke
theyr
harnes
&
al
at
ones
●an
&
assayl●d
Arthur
.
Than
Arthur
drewe
hys
good
sworde
&
strake
so
the
fyrst
that
he
encountred
with
that
h●●aue
him
to
the
chinne
,
and
fro
the
second
he
made
his
head
to
flie
into
the
felde
,
and
the
thyrde
he
made
to
flye
ouer
hys
horse
c●ope
&
his
legges
vpward
.
Than
euery
m●n
behelde
the
hye
prowesse
of
Arthur
and
●aid
eche
to
other
,
the
strokes
of
this
knyght
are
gr●a●ly
to
be
doub●ed
.
Than
Gouernar
toke
a
great
pyece
of
a
broken
charyot
aud
dasht
into
the
prese
and
draue
downe
knigh●es
both
hor●e
and
man
to
the
crath
.
Than
euery
man
sayd
vnto
other
this
knight●s
not
without
company
,
theyr
almes
is
right
hard
to
indure
,
I
would
haue
none
of
theyr
p●●aunce
,
they
are
grete
dyspenders
▪
for
they
gyue
more
than
is
of
the
demaunded
.
And
whan
Florence
sawe
the
outrage
of
those
knyghtes
she
was
right
sorowful
,
for
she
had
grete
fe●e
of
Arthur
.
Than
she
commaunded
her
seneshal
that
he
shuld
go
and
depart
the
batail
and
that
those
knightes
should
be
al
taken
,
and
their
handes
boū●
fast
togither
in
a
punysshemente
of
theyr
dedes
,
than
her
senesshal
incontynent
mounted
on
a
gret
courser
,
and
in
a
rich
corset
of
grene
gyrt
with
a
white
silken
lace
,
and
his
hat
at
his
back
with
a
white
warderer
in
his
hande
.
Than
he
sported
furth
his
hors
&
caused
knightes
to
come
out
of
euery
●ent
&
so
they
toke
the
knightes
that
wer
fightinge
with
Arthur
and
Gouernar
,
but
first
of
the
.xiiii.
there
was
.vi.
slain
,
and
dyuers
other
sore
hurt
.
Than
Florence
and
the
archebysshop
came
to
syr
Rowland
where
as
he
lay
stil
at
that
time
in
a
traunce
half
a
slepe
,
&
whan
he
was
reuiued
&
saw
the
byshop
and
Florence
standyng
before
him
he
de●ired
that
the
knight
that
had
iusted
with
him
might
come
and
speke
with
hym
&
so
Brisebar
went
for
him
,
&
whan
Arthur
was
come
,
syr
Rowland
said
to
him
Syr
ye
be
welcome
and
for
goddes
sake

me
of
the
outrage
that
I
haue
done
agenst

wherof

I
sore

.
Syr
sayd
Arthur
yf
y●
haue
any

trespassed
agenst

I

with

.
Than
there
were
brought
forth
the
knyghtes
of
syr
Rowland
who
wer
fast
besid
becaus
they
foughte
agenst
Arthur
without
anye
defyaunce
before
.
Than
said
Florence
in
the
name
of
god
they

make
a

.
Certainly
madame
sayd
syr
Rowlande
I
am
content
that
they
make
amendes
to
the
knight
as
he

So
be

said
Florence
.
Madam

And
whan

al

say
so
they
sayde
,
a
this
is
a

a

And

what
is
a

to

so
syr
than

&

Than
the

rose
who

preuyest
of

therefore

&
syr

I

fremely
by

accorde
as
good

And
whan
that
the
kinge
Emendus
had
well
vnderstande
alle
these
sayenges
he
knewe
well
how
that
they
said
t●outh
,
and
soo
he
answered
and
sayde
,
syrs
I
knewe
well
how
that
ye
haue
said
right
well
and
nobly
,
but
it
is
so
that
I
haue
promysed
so
faythfully
to
this
emperour
that
I
doubte
me
yf
that
I
breke
promesse
with
hym
that
he
wyll
appele
me
of
falsenes
and
soo
make
mortall
warre
against

Than
the
kynge
of
Orqueney
said
,
syr
yf
that
the

wyll
moue
any
war
agenst
you
by

he

sharpely

,
for
syr
comaund

to
be
ready
on
youre

,
and
we
shall
do
one
deuoyres
on
our

,
and
so
I
trust
we
shall
shewe
hym
suche
a
sight
that
he
shal
be
sore
encombred
with
lokyng
or
numbryng
of
them
,
and
yf
he
will
haue
batayle
one
knight
agenst
an

in
the

I
am
he●●
redy
and
wyl
be
to
accomplishe
that
ba●ayl
for
my

your

sake
.
Than
Arthur
thu●
rose
vp
and
sayd
aloude
,
so
that
euery
man
myght
wel
here
him
.
Noble
&
gentyl
kyng
it
is
no
reason
that
ye
shold
aduenture
your
bodi
agenst
a
knight
&
ye
a
kynge
,
but
yf
my
ladye
should
haue

ye
shall
not
lacke
of
a

,
for
beholde
me
here
,
who

euer

And
so
euery
man
there
be
held

,
for
he
was
maruaylous
fayre
&
he
had
on
his
syrco●e

s●arlet
,
that
why
the
became
hym
wondersly
well
the
whiche
plesed
muche
king
Emendus
and
al

.
Than
kyng
Emendus
sayde
,
syr
I
se
wel
howe
ye
be
worth

,
and
therfore
syr
yf

I
gyue

graunt
that
ye
shal
accomplysh
it
,
Therwith
Arthur
kneled
down
and
ryghte
humbly
thanked
hym
.
Than
the
kynge
of
Orqueney
toke
Arthur
by
the
hande
and
caused
hym
to

downe
betwene
hym
and
Florence
,
wherewyth
somwhat
she
abasshed
,
and
as
than
tho

louers
du●st
make
no

¶
How
a
great
&
a
puyssant
knight
defyed
Arthur
because
he
sate
by
Florence
and
dyd
pul
downe
a
corner
of
her
keue●
thefe
the
which
the
wynde
had
blowen

and
so
Arthur
dyd
Iuste
wyth
hym
and
dyd
caste

earth
so
rudelye
that
he
was
not
able
to

on
horsback
fyue
monethes
after
.
Cap.
lxxvii
.
SO
it
was
that
as
the
king
of
orqueny
&
Florence
&
Arthur
sat
together
as
ye
haue
herde
before
,
there
entred
into
the
pauylyon
a
great
knyght
black
of

,
&
he
was
gyrt
with
a
greete
sw●rd
&
a
longe

&
bare
a
great
faw●hon
in
hys
hand
,
&
so
he
came
before
the
kyng
&
salu●ed
hym
and
al
other
,
as
he
that
was
come
fro
themperour
who
as

for

Than
the
king
said
,
syr

to

I
wyl
go

,
but
syr
{quod}

Syr

M.

In
the
name
of
god
said
the
king
that
is
a
fayre
company
.
Than
this
knyght
behelde
the
kynge
of
orqueney
&
Arthur
,
who
were
talking
with
Florence
,
&
he
sawe
how

the

of

for

,
for
he
can
not
forfeyte
with
her
but
that
she
must
be
accorded
with
him
,
therfore
herein
ye
report
vilany
of

Than
Arthur
stept
vp
in
great
displeasure
&
said
to
the
knyghte
,
syr
yf

Syr

Than

Mary
said
the
kynge
of

than
shal

.
Soo
these
.ii.
knyghtes
armed
them
&
wente
forth

Than

.
Than
one
deliuered
a

to
Arthur
but
it
plesed
him
not
&
demaunded
a
bygger
,
&
so
than
there
was
brought
to

suche
a

that
should
haue
greatly
encombred
an

&
that

that
no

fere
that

And

for

and

Than

And

I

.
Madame
sayd

ye

that
I
ought
not

,
madame
know
ye
for
trou●h
that
I
am
the
all
only
son
of
the

of
britayne
.
That
is
noble
ynough
said
Florence
,
but
by
the
fayth
that
ye
owe
to
me
who
is
the
person
of
the
world
that
ye
loue
best
,
and
would
haue
her
loue
and
acqu●yntaunce
,
is
she
in
your
count●e
or
elles
where
shewe
me
the
trouth
&
hyde
nothing
fro
me
I
requyre
●ou
,
&
what
she
is
that
ye
would
be
moost
●oyous
to
haue
he●
loue
,
name
her
to
me
by
the
fayth
that
ye
owe
to
all
the
sacramentes
of

chyrche
.
Madame
sayd
Arthur
I
r●quyre
your
grace
to
pardon
me
,
for
she
may
be
such
a
person
that
yf
I
should
name
her
ye
would
p●rauenture
thinke
in
me
grete
foly
,
for
she
may
be
suche
one
that
she
wyl
not
set
her
hert
in
so
lowe
a
place
,
nor
yet
I
thinke
scant
wyll
here

,
therefore
it
is
better
to
me
to
be
styll
than
to
speke
●oly
.
Truly
said
Florence
that
is
had
in
the
herte
is
bad
in

&
speche
,
therfore
shewe
me
wherder

●n
all

Madame
truely
I

Ye
sayd
Florence
but
do●th
she
knowe
that
ye

As

madame
naye
.
why
spake
ye
neuer

No
truly
madame
sayd
Arthur
.
And
how
is
it
that
ye

&
n●uer
shewed
her
therof
,
in
that
it
●●ould
seme
to
me
that
ye
loued

no●
,
for
it
is
moch
payne
for
the
mouth
to
retain
and
kepe
close
the
feruent
wyll
of
the
herte
,
for
lyghtly
the
desyre
of
the
hert
putteth
outwarde
the
word
of
the
mouth
,
as
the
wynde
putteth
away
the

,
&
howe
should
we
knowe
that
ye
loue
her
and
it
be
not
shewed

,
&
yf
she

as

Than
she
sayd

and
I
wyll

the

true

for
I

and
than
she
recounted
to

how
that
she
had
desyred
his
loue
in
the
forest
,
and
al●o
caused
hym
to

vnto
the

and
there
dyd
as
moche
as

coude
to
entyse
his

to
cause
hym
to

her
and
also
how
she
made

tempte
hym
,
and
how
all
that
wolde
not
auayle
,
for
alwayes
he
was
in
one
ferme
poynt
,
wherat
Florence
right
swetely
dyde
smyle
.
Than
Proserpyne
sayd
to

,
frende

haue

but
first
ye
must
suffre
grete
paine
And

bycause
that

in

for

,
there
is
no

bitwene

and

,
but
I
promyse

I
shall
cause

,
in
so
moche
that

¶
How
that
Arthur
had
the
honours
o●
the
tou●ney
the
fyrst
daye
,
the
whyche
was
made
for
the
fayre
Florence
betwene
the
kynge
Emendus
and
the
E●perour
who
wolde
haue
had
Florence
to
hys
wyfe
,
on
the
whyche
day
Arthur
gate
hym selfe
great
prayse
among
all
the
barony
,
in
so
muche
that
euery
knyghte
was
glad
to
be
in
his
company
,
whereof
the
fayre
Florence
was
●ight
ioyous
,
for
she
loued
hym
aboue
all
other
.
Cap.
lxxix
.
IN
the
next
mornyng
all
the
kinges
and
other
●ose
&
herde
mas●e
,
●
suche
as
wold
toke
a
sop
in
wine
,
&
than
eueri
man
Armed
him
.
Than
Gouernar
and
Bawdewyn
by
the
commaundement
of
Arthur
dyd
gyue
and
departe
man●
horses
and
moche
harneys
to
sondry
knightes
where
as
they
sawe
mister
and
nede
,
the
whyche
knyghtes
thanked
Arthur
ryghte
hertely
and
promysed
to
gyue
hym
theyr
helpe
and
socoure
at
all
tymes
,
and
ayenst
euery
man
,
wherby
it
appereth
that
there
is
nothynge
but
by
large
gyftes
it
is
made
softe
and
meke
.
Than
the
tydynges
of
Arthurs
courtesye
was
spredde
abrode
in
euery
tente
,
and
there
it
was
said
how
that
ther
was
not
in
all
the
world
soo
free
a
knyght
as
Arthur
was
.
And
these
wordes
came
to
the
au●yence
of
the
fayre
Florence
,
wherat
her
hert
dyde
laughe
,
and
there
withall
she
mounted
on
a
palfrey
,
and
the
quene
of
orqueney
,
and
the
archeby●shop
in
her
company
,
who
shewed
her
how
that
Arthur
had
a
grete
renowne
,
and
counseiled
her
to
loue
hym
well
.
And
thus
was
kyng
Emendus
mounted
on
his
horse
,
&
al
his
barony
to
behold
the
iournay
,
and
Arthur
was
redy
armed
in
the
place
wheras
the
tournay
should
be
,
&
so
than
there
came
to
hym
the
kynge
of
orqueney
with
his
baner
dysplayed
,
&
moo
than
.ii.
C.
in

.
And
whan
he
came
to

he
sayd
in

audyence
,
syr
youre

valure
&
hye
prowesse

&
I

therfore
syr
I
offre
to

&
all

daye
vnd●r

And
whan
Florence
herde
that
she
smyled
for

,
and
than
there
came
to

all
suche
knyghtes
as

and
they

,
for

,
and
as
thei

came
Florence

with

C.
knightes
who
were

to
the
fayre
Florence
,
and
they
all
came
to
Arthur
,
&
toke
hym
for
their
chiefe
capytayne
.
And
whan
Arthur
sawe
the
grete
honour
that
was
done
to
hym
he
had
so
grete
ioye
that
his
hardines
encreaced
therby
more
than
the
one
halfe
,
&
so
dashe
to
his

&
rode
forth
and
dyde
salute
the
kynge
Em●dus
who
helde
his

hande
in

,
than

dyde

&
sayd
,
syr
I
r●quyre

Ye

said
Florence
and
shewe
so
forth
your selfe
that
it
may
be
knowen
how
ye
be
a
knyght●
pertainynge
to
a

damoysell
.
Madame
doubte
ye
not
but
I
wyl
do
my
deuoyre
for
my
wyll
therto
is
good
.
Than
Arthur
retourned
and
went
agayne
to
the
kinge
of
orqueney
,
and
he
was
so
fayre
and
goodly
to
beholde
in
harneys
that
euery
man
had
theyr
eyen
vpon
him
and
sayd
This
knyght
is
the
soueraine
of
bounte
and
beaute
of
all
the
chyualry
of
all
the
worlde
.
Than
there
came
to
the
felde
the
erle
of
the
yle
perdue
,
&
with
him
a
thousande
and
.
v.c
.
knyghtes
all
with
baners
and
stremers
dysplaied
wauering
in
the
wynde
with
grete
noyse
of
trompettes
tabours
and
busynes
,
&
than
there
was
mounted
on
theyr
horses
to
beholde
the
tournay
the
emperour
&
kynge
Ionas
&
the
duke
of
bigor
,
who
as
than
was
late
come
out
of
his
owne
countre
.
Than
har●des
began
to
crye
knightes
do
your
best
go
togyder
bayle
,
bayle
,
than
began
the
tournay
&
knightes
went
togider
by
gret
routes
,
and
laide
on
eche
vpon
other
,
and
Arthur
rusht
forth
with
hys
horse
so
rudely
as
thoughe
the
erth
had
trembled
,
and
strake
so
the
fyrst
that
he
encountred
with
all
in
the
myddes
of
the
breste
soo
rudely
that
he
ouerthrewe
knyght
and
horse
al
togider
on
a
hepe
.
Than
Florence
said
to
the
kyng
her
fader
,
syr
of
yonder
knyght
that
is
fallen
I
hope
we
shal
haue
peace
of
him
al
this
day
.
Certenly
fayre
doughter
sayde
the
kynge
that
is
true
,
for
that
stroke
came
from
the
handes
of
a
good
knyghte
.
Than
Arthur
encountred
an
other
&
●oke
him
by
the
sholders
&
drewe
hym
so
rudely
to
him
warde
that
he
cast
hym
downe
in
the
myddes
of
the
pla●e
,
than
he
toke
his
sword
the
whyche
Florence
had
sent
him
,
for
he
wold
not
draw
out
clarence
his
good
sword
to
thentent
that
he
would
normayme
or
sle
no
knyght
by
his
wyl
that
daye
,
but
he
gaue
wyth
that
sword
suche
strokes
that
he
brought
a
slepe
who
so
euer
he
touched
so
that
thei
were
fayn
to
tomble
to
the
erth
whether
they
woulde
or
no●
,
and
there
he
dyd
soo
muche
at
that
bront
that
he
bette
downe
a
.
●v
.
knyghtes
,
than
euery
man
that
saw
hym
sayd
,
thys
knyght
is
none
earthlye
man
,
but
we
thynke
rather
he
be
a
●ende
of
hell
,
whoo
thynketh
he
be
nothynge
pertaynynge
to
god
,
for
he
confoundeth
all
that
euer
he
attayneth
vnto
,
so
euery
man
was
abasshed
of
hys
hye
prowes
&
vertue
.
Than
the
kyng
of
Orqueney
alwayes
folowed
Arthur
with
hys
eyen
,
&
by
the
reason
of
the
noble
prowesse
that
he
sawe
in
hym
,
ho
toke
in
him
greter
hardynes
than
euer
he
dyd
before
,
and
there
with
he
rusht
into
a
gret
flocke
of
knightes
that
were
of
the
emperours
partye
,
and
layde
on
rounde
aboute
hym
,
for
he
was
a
ryght
noble
knyght
,
than
al
those
knyghtes
and
dyuers
other
ran
rounde
aboute
hym
,
for
they
knew
well
yf
they
myght
take
hym
prysoner
it
shoulde
be
a
great
honour
vnto
them
and
alsoo
they
thought
they
should
haue
a
great
raunsome
for
hym
,
but
alwayes
he
defended
hym selfe
●yght
nobly
,
but
at
length
it
auayled
him
not
for
the
prese
was
so
gr●t
and
some
toke
hym
by
the
necke
,
and
some
by
the
sholders
,
and
so
would
haue
vnhorsed
hym
.
And
whan
syr
Neuelon
the
senesshal
,
syr
Brysebar
,
syr
Ansell
,
&
syr
Myles
sawe
the
kinge
of
Orquenyy
in
that
case
,
they
dasht
al
togyther
intoo
the
prese
to
helpe
hym
and
there
they
did
right
nobly
,
how
be
it
the
senesshal
was
be●en
downe
,
for
hys
horse
foundred
vnder
hym
,
and
soo
there
they
would
haue
taken
hym
prisoner
.
Than
Gouerner
sawe
that
,
and
he
dressed
hym
●o
that
part
whereas
the
senesshal
was
taken
,
and
Gouerna●
helde
in
bothe
hys
handes
a
gret
l●uer
,
wherwith
he
layd
on
amonge
those
knyghtes
with
so
mighty
and
heuy
strokes
that
he
astonyed
whome
soo
euer
he
touched
,
and
●here
he
dyd
so
moche
that
by
very
force
he
caused
the
senesshal
to
remount
agayne
on
his
horse
,
and
in
the
meane
sea●on
the
kyng
of
Orqueney
was
holden
ryght
short
so
that
hys
h●rse
foundred
and
fell
vnder
hym
,
how
be
it
after
that
he
●efended
hym selfe
righte
valyauntly
.
And
whan
Arthur
who
as
than
had
dyscom●yt●d
a
g●eat
companye
o●
knigh●es
s●w
the
kyng
in
the
dystresse
he
●ush●
for●h
into
the
prese
and
encountred
with
the
son
of
therle
of
the
yle
perdue
,
and
toke
him
with
both
his
handes
about
hys
sholders
and
dydde
caste
hym
downe
on
o●her
two
knightes
that
were
on
fote
,
so
tha●
one
of
theim
fell
flatte
to
the
erth
,
and
than
he
rose
agayne
and
be
helde
the
knyght
that
was
●allen
on
him
and
sayd
,
ma●ye
syr
yll
haue
he
that
dyd
caste
you
vpon
me
.
And
whan
Arthur
had
ouerthrowen
this
knight
he
toke
his
horse
by
the
rayne
&
brought
hym
to
the
kynge
and
dide
light
of
his
owne
horse
to

greued

&
also
the

was
ryght
sore
dysplesed
in
hys

because
he
sawe
Arthur
do
all
that

so
nobly
,
and
at
the

he
knewe
well
how
that
was
he
that
had
slayne
hys

at
the
Citye
of

,
wherfore
he
would
fayne
haue
runned
on

to
haue
slayne
hym
,
but
he
doubted
muche
●he
kynge
of

.
Than
he
sayd
to
themperour
,
syr
the

and
all

that

is
don●
by
yonder

with
the
white

and
by
the

with

,
and
verely
it
is
he
that
slewe
my

,
and
sore
wounded
my

syr
Rowland

&
also
he

▪
and
this
I
say
bicause
of

haue
,
but
his

and
goodnes
parauenture
may
cause

this

is
likely
to

Therfore
syr
I

And
Arthur
al
that
season
layde
on

as

newly
begon
the

Than
the

was
more
greter

more

syr
ye

a

for
no

&
ye
make
of

here
suche

that
no

,
I
can
not
tell
you
what

certainly
it
is
no

take
any

than
ye

syr
where
as
ye

that
no

●noweth
what
he

syr
I
ensure
you
he
is
a
ryght
noble
wise
knight
,
and
it
maketh
no

to
a

where
so
euer
he
becommeth
,
for

wyl
shewe
right

as
ye

syr
it

ben
better
to

at

for
there
your

there
ye
fledde

Than

so
the

Now

to
morowe
in

company
of

mormall
,
for
I
see
wel
he
doth
not
consider
the
trauaile
that
he
hath
endured
this

,
for
yf

were
made
of

,
alas
yf
ony

Saint

Than

shewed
him
how

Syrs
I
●hanke
●ou
sayd
Florence
,
so
than
they
est●●●isshed
Arthur
chefe
capytayne
of
that
matter
,
&
so
the
two

departed
out
of
the
counseyle
and
toke
leue
of
Florence
and
Arthur
&
of
al
other
and
returned
in

.
Now
let
vs
leue
to
speke
of
them
and
returne
to
the

and
kyng
Emendus
howe
that
they
were
amused
at
the
churche
dore
whan
they
had
wend
to
haue
maried
Florence
.
¶
How
that
Proserpyn
quene
of

was
ledde
to
the
churche

bene
wedded
to

wenyng
that

whan

,
sodenlye
she
vanysshed

they
stode
all
abasshed
as
thoughe
the

had
fallen
from

.
Capi

SO
it
was
that
whan
the
kynge
of
valefound
and
the
kyng
of
Orqueney
was
departed
fro
kyng
Emendus
to
greate
displesure
how
be

the

as
than
whan
he
sawe
that

he
repented
him
of
his

,
how
be
it
he
made
no

of
semblaunt
for
the
loue
of
themperour
,
but
sayd

syr
let

Than

where
there
was

than
incoutinent
th
was
ensured
to

&
so
there
was
gret

and
ioy
al
the
nyght
tyl
euery

went
to
their

,
&
in
the
mornyng
they
arose
and
Proserpyn
was
apparailed
right
rychely●
&
so
the
king

&
the
king
of

dyd
lede
her

as
〈…〉
she

there
dydde

&
so
proceded

.
And
wha●
the

thought
to

sodeynly
she
was
vanysshed

so
that
none
knew
where
she
was
become
,
wherewith
the
kynges
,
dukes
,
erles
,
barons
and
all
other
were
as
gretly
abasshed
as
though
they
had
tombled
out
of

,
than
the

blyssed
him selfe
and
did
caste
holy
war●●
round
about

,
and
euery

sayde
thys

How

And

but
Hector
met

fyrst
and
strake
the
kynge
so
rudelye
that
he
ouerthrew

wyde
open
in
the
feld
than
Hector
tourned
him
with

sworde
in

hande
to
haue
stryken

but
his

socoured

and
ran

the
gret
prese
than
Gouernar
dashte
into
the
thyckest
of
the
prese
without
sparyng
of
any
body
,
for
he
cut
of
armes
legges
and
hedes
grete
p●enty
.
Than
syr
Clatembart
entred
into
the
prese
,
and
syr
Othes
in
like
wise
,
than
there
began
suche
a

that
it
was
pitie
to
beholde
,
than
kyng
Godyfer
was
remounted
agayne
and
Hector
layde
on
round
about
hym
,
and
he
went
so
muche
forward
that
he
was
closed

,
howe
be

he
gaue
amonge

so
great

that
all

so
that
at

than
he
lept
on

with

but
his

oppressed
him
gretely
.
Therwith
Gouernar
came

rage
,
&
he
was
also
at
his

so
beset
with
his

that
his

was
slayne
vnder

and
than
Hector
&
Gouernar
were

that
it
was

,
tyll
at

syr

began
so

and
soo
in

they
were
agayne
remounted
,
and
than
they
dasht
into
the
prese
&
gaue
so
myghty
strokes
that
they
confounded
all
that
euer
they
attayned
vnto
,
than
the
kynge
Godyfer
came
on
them
with
so
greate
a
prese
that
they
drewe
by
clene
force
Gouernar
and
syr

out

&
closed

so
rounde
aboute
,
and
gaue
them
so
many
grete
strokes
that
they
slewe
theyr
horses
vnder

,
and
than
they
defended
them selfe
as
valiaunte
knightes
ought
to
do
,
and
oftentymes
they
called
for
Hector
to
helpe
to
rescowe
them
,
but
the
prese
was
so
great
and
thycke
that
Hector
in
no
wise
could
get
to
them
and
yet
there
he
did
maruailes
with
his

,
for

wel
madame
said
the
markes
I
trust
I
shal
so
fulfyll
your
message
that
ye
shall
be
content●
and
so
he
toke
his
leue
of
Florence
&
of
al
the
hole
barony
&
rode
forth
tyll
he
came
before
the
king
Emendus
at
which
time
he
was
accompanied
with
his
.iiii.
kynges
,
&
also
there
was
th
and
all
his
kynges
and
other
dukes
erles
,
barons
,
and
knightes
,
there
was
also
the
kynge
Ionas
and
kyng
Clamados
and
diuerse
other
noble
men
pertaining
to
themperour
.
Than
the
gentyll
markes
entred
in
to
the
same
place
&
did
salute
the
king
and
al
his
company
,
and
sayd
,
syr
I
am
come
to
you
fro
my
ladye
Florence
your
doughter
the
moost
noble
and
gentyl
lady
liuing
,
who
ryghte
derely
commendeth
her
vnto
your
grace
as
to
her
owne
dere
fader
,
&
syr
she
is
gretely
abasshed
of
this
grete
company
in
harneys
that
ye
haue
brought
hyder
at
thys
tyme
,
for
syr
it
is
a
grete
abasshement
to
a
noble
gentyl
mayden
to
se
so
many
helmes
&
sheldes
shyning
ayenst
the
sonne
wherfore
syr
she
requyreth
you
to
know
your
pleasure
&
mynde
.
Than
the
kinge
with
a
fyerse
loke
said
,
syr
knight
I
wil
not
receyue
her
salutacyon
,
for
I
loue
her
not
at
my
herte
,
but
I
hope
to
do
her
domage
bothe
of
body
&
of
goodes
.
Syr
said
the
markes
&
for
what
cause
.
Certainly
said
the
king
for
she
hath
done
me
shame
and
despyte
,
for
she
hath
gone
awaye
fro
me
with
a
straunge
knyght
,
and
she
is
come
to
hyde
her self
in
this
castel
,
&
ther
folyshely
she
kepeth
company
with
this
straunge
knight
the
which
is
a
shame
to
her
for
euermore
,
&
also
she
hath
done
me
despyte
,
for
I
had
gyuen
her
to
this
emperour
to
haue
bene
his
wyfe
,
&
she
wyl
not
folow
my
wyl
,
and
therfore
bicause
of
the
shame
that
she
hath
done
me
and
dooth
yet
lyke
a
false
strumpet
I
shall
put
her
into
a
perpetuall
prison
to
thentente
that
she
shall
do
me
neuer
more
shame
,
&
I
shal
hange
the
ribawde
knight
by
the
necke
that
caused
her
thus
to
do
,
for
the
despyte
that
she
hathe
done
to
me
I
shal
do
her
an
other
,
for
I
wyll
neuer
departe
hens
tyll
I
haue
brought
this
castel
downe
to
the
harde
earth
.
Than
the
noble
markes
answered
&
said
,
syr
as
touching
the
shame
that
ye
lay
ayenst
my
lady
for
cominge
into
thys
castell
I
shall
answere
you
,
syr
my
lady
is
of
great
noblenesse
&
honour
and
a
quene
called
by
the
ryghte
of
her
mode●
,
wherfore
it
is
right
that
some
tyme
she
go
&
se
her
owne
countre
,
and
to
take
her
pleasure
of
her
own
,
&
syr
in
that
she
departed
without
your
lycence
was
for
fere
and
doubte
of
this
Emperour
to
whome
ye
haue
gyuen
her
ayenst
her
wil
&
herte
,
for
she
doubted
lest
that
he
wold
haue
had
her
ayenst
her
wyll
,
and
therefore
the
mayster
by
his
clergy
made
you
to
be
abused
at
the
churche
dore
,
and
syr
she
came
not
hider
so
simply
that
she
ought
to
be
blamed
,
for
she
brought
with
her
duke
Phylyp
and
tharchebysshop
,
and
wel
.v.
hondred
other
knightes
in
her
company
and
syr
the
byshop
is
here
vncle
&
youre
broder
,
wherfore
he
wold
be
as
loth
that
she
should
do
ony
otherwise
than
wel
as
your selfe
would
be
,
but
that
nedeth
not
to
be
fered
,
for
she
is
of
suche
wysedome
that
she
can
rule
her selfe
wel
ynough
,
for
ther
is
not
a
wyser
lady
againe
in
al
the
world
,
&
syr
also
duke
Phylyp
hathe
ben
alwayes
with
her
,
&
therfore
suche
people
as
be
dayly
with
her
can
reporte
her
deling
and
so
can
not
you
that
knoweth
nothing
therof
,
and
yet
ther
is
none
that
speketh
●ny
vylany
of
her
but
you
the
whiche
thing
syr
me
thinketh
ye
oughte
not
to
do
,
and
syr
in
dede
yonder
good
knight
Arthur
is
with
her
,
&
though
it
be
so
that
she
hath
retained
him
to
her
seruaunt
I
thinke
therin
she
hath
done
wysely
,
and
so
haue
not
ye
done
in
letting
him
depart
out
of
your

for
he
is
the
floure
of
al
the
chyualry
of
the
world
,
&
she
by
her
wysedome
hath
retayned
him
,
for
whan
he
wente
out
of
your
courte
he
lefte
not
his
felaw
behind
him
,
and
syr
if
she
haue
a
good
knyght
retayned
vnto
her
she
is
not
suche
a
lady
but
that
she
is
of
suche
habilite
that
she
may
right
wel
guerdon
hym
for

seruyce
,
syr
she
is
not
come

in
the

of
you
,
nor
yet
for
the

of
hym
that
ye
so
sore
despyse

syr
she
did
it
bycause
that
ye
would
gyue
her

suche
a

as
she
neuer
loued
nor
can
not
loue
nor
wyll
not

as

lyueth
,
without
it
be
by

,
&
syr
she
is
not
so
poore
a

but
that
and
ye
wold
giue

as

I

Yes
truely
syr
sayd
the

I
know
wel
she
bereth
to

bothe
faythe
and

.
well
mayster
I
praye
you
tell
me
whether
had
ye
leue●
to
haue
the
loue
of

witho●t
trouth●
or
elles
trouth
without

,
for
a
woman
can
not
well
loue
mi
and
you
and
euery
bodi
,
and
do
for
you
and
for
me
and
for
other
,
for
in
that
point
there
lacketh
trouth
whan
the
loue
resteth
not
on
him
that
attendeth
therfore
,
and
●
she
rest
on
him
,
than
her
loue
is
not
generall●
and
eyther
she
loueth
you
without

,
or
elles
she
is
true
without

.
what
sayd
the
maister
loue
without
trouth
is
nothyng
worthe
,
for
trouth
is
the
vpholder
of
loue
,
for
faythfull
loue
is
fourmed
of
trouth
,
and
what
profyte
should
it
be
for
me
yf
she
w●re
neuer
so
true
and
l●ued
me
not
,
the
one
can
not
be
without
the
other
,
what
sholde
it
auayle
me
to
go
seke
for
her
troth
,
and
she
loue
me
not
,
for
l●u●
is
the
drawer
,
and
trouth
is
the
vpholder
,
for
trouth
is
the
very
end
of
loue
and
therwith
he
began
to
syng
faith
and
trouth
is
in
my
dere
lady
,
and
so
they
al
dyd
laughe
at
him
and
made
greate
feast
and
sporte

&
Arthur

and
there
he
saw

nombre
of
sarasyns
,
and
than

pyteously
for
the
mischefe
that
he
saw
his

at
that
tyme
,
and
as

where
as
there
came

a
.lx.
sarasins
all

than
Arthur
wente
downe
to
the
valey
agayne
to
his
company
and
said
,
lordes
I
thynke
all
the
world
of
people
is
in
this
countre
,
how
shal
we
be
demened
.
Syr
said
Brisebar
ther
is
no
more
to
do
but
let
vs
mount
on
our
horses
&
do
as
knyghtes
shold
do
,
syr
there
is
none
of
vs
but
that
is
wel
worth
a
knyght
.
wel
sayd
Arthur
now
that
shal
be
seen
,
for
yonder
cometh
a
.lx.
or
moo
of
oute
enemyes
to

vs
yf

Let
them
com
sayd
Gouernar
and
he
toke
a
grete
spere
and
dyd
plunge
it
in
the
reste
,
and
therewith
the
sarasyns
wer
come
who
saw
well
these
.v.
knyghtes
,
and
one
of
them
presed
forth
before
his
felawes
and
Gouernar
with
his
spere
slew
hym
,
&
than
the
mayster
strake
so
another
with
such
vertue
that
the
spere
went
clene
through
out
his
body
,
than
he
set
his
hande
vpon
his
swerde
&
laye
on
so
amonge
hys
enemyes
as
a
wol●e
dooth
among
lambes
.
And
whan
Brysebar
saw
hym
do
suche
dedes
of
armes
he
sayd
,
here
is
a
g●od
mayster
he
chayseth
sharpely
hys
dysciples
,
than
Brisebar
strake
the
first
that
he
encountred
with
so
rudely
that
his
ha●ne●s
auailed
him
not
a
bo●ion
,
for
he
was
persed
to
the
harte
,
than
Gouenar
and
he
bette
downe
sarasyns
euen
as
he
wolde
hym self
.
And
whan
Hector
saw
that
he
feredle●st
all
the
sarasyns
shold
haue
ben
slayne
or
he
had
done
ony
thynge
agaynst
them
,
than
he
rushte
into
the
prese
and
cut
of
armes
handes
,
&
legges
&
made
hedes
flye
into
the
felde
,
&
bet
downe
sarasyns
&
horses
meruaylously
.
And
whan
Arthur
saw
al
this
he
smiled
and
sayd
,
lordes
leue
me
my
parte
,
what
me
thinketh
ye
take
all
,
that

none
egal
partynge
,
than

into
the
thickest
of
the
prese
,
and
the

he
sent
to
the

&
the
seconde

,
and
ther
he
gaue
so
puyssaunt
strokes
that
he
confounded
al

,
&
to
make
short
these

knyghtes
dyd
so
valyauntly
that
of
al
these
.lx.
sarasyns
there
escaped
not
one
but
thei

Than
Arthur
sayd
lordes
let

deu●se
how

thousande
men
of

,
I
suppose
this
emperour
hoost

so
I
can
not
se
how
we
should
entre
euery

And
whan

And
whan
Arthur
sawe

he
desyred
gretely
to

than
he
toke
a
great
myghty
spere

ran
at

brake

for
the

and
as
Arthur
passed
forth
after
his
course
the

enclosed

than
he
drewe

but
thei
charged

they
dyde

And
whan

was
the
maner
of
the
more
that
he
had

At

IN

ther
togider
to

thousande
persones

than
there
came
to

a

&
said
,
syr
Florence

And
whan
kyng
Ionas
hard

neuer
so

,
I
knew

they
durst
not

lyues
abyde
ony

,
I
am
angry
wyth
nothynge
but
with
that
Florence
shold
thus
escape
vs
than
he
caused
a
great
horne
to
be
sowned
than
ther
assembled
about

with

ryght
sore
displesed
for

priuely
fled

,
I
am
sure
Arthur
hath
led
them
into
his
countre
,
but
syr
and
it
please
you
mount
on
your
horse
&
go
ryde

and
take
the
possession
therof
,
&
so
shall
ye
haue

And
whan
that
themperour
harde
how
that
Florence
was
escaped
fro

he
was
nye
oute
of

and
so
armed

so
what
of
his

and

Ionas
thei

so
themperour
rode
forth
with

dysplayed

noyse
of

,
hornes
,
and
tabours
,
and
came
to
the

he
praysed

so
moche
in

harte
that
he
would
not
giue

againe
for

the
gold
of

,
and
than
he
said
to
kyng

veryly

shal
make

,
he
sayd
trulyer
than

Syr

&
thus
oftentimes
people
speketh
of

lytle

And
whan
Florence
harde

so
her
hart
trembled
for

&
said
,
a

and
caused

And

And

In

Now

And

iourney

&
passed

chere

at

the
king
of
orqneny
came
to
thē
&
he
enbraced
Gouernar
and
to
him
made
right
gret
fest
and
chere
,
than
Gouernar
dyd
alyght
,
but
the
king
made
him
to
remount
agayne
&
demaunded
of
him
how
that
Arthur
did
.
Syr
{quod}
Gouernar
he
is
at
the
blaunche
toure
there
I
left
him
,
&
with
him
duke
Hector
,
Brisebar
&
master
Steuen
syr
it
is
so
that
themperour
hath
besyeged
Florence
in
the
castel
,
&
he
hath
with
hym
people
without
numbre
,
and
he
had
enclosed
the
castel
rounde
aboute
or
we
entred
,
howe
be
it
we
entred
by
the
subtyl
wytte
of
mayster
Steuen
,
but
syr
I
am
sure
there
is
by
this
tyme
wyth
Arthur
the
most
noble
company
of
al
the
worlde
for
he
hath
brought
with
him
out
of
hys
country
the
kynge
of
malogres
and
.iiii.
erles
and
.iiii.
barons
,
and
also
the
mihgty
duke
of
Britayne
his
owne
fader
&
they
are
wel
to
the
numbre
of
.xv.
●hou●ande
knightes
of
fraunce
of
great
price
and
valure
,
wher●ore
I
think
by
thys
time
they
haue
made
some
maner
of
scarmysshe
with
their
enemies
for
they
are
hardy
knyghtes
and
couragious
for
it
is
gret
maruayle
yf
they
lye
thus
longe
styll
.
Ye
sayd
the
kyng
is
A●thur
than
of
that
vertue
and
strength
that
he

the
goodly

and
praised
muche

than
he

galoped
down

&
whan

and
came
rennyng

and
whan
the

Than
Arthur

I

and

And

wyth
.iiii.
pe●sons
he
was
right
sorowful

.iiii.
al

but
by

And
whan

saw
that
he
began
for
to
crye
as

as
he
myght
helpe
Arthur

than
the

And

Fayre

And

wherfore

enuy
at

&
they
are
.x.
tymes
as

as
our

wherfore
I
doubt
me
that
our

should
haue
some
vylany
,
&
I
had
rather
dye
than
su●●re
that
therfore
I
shal

in

to
thentent
that
we
sholde
not
be
knowen
and
than
we
wil
go
to
the
turney
and
helpe
our
knightes
,
for
I
think
they
shal
haue
grete
nede
of
vs
,
&
Hector
and
the
dolphin
shal
be
in
the
fyrst
front
and
yf
I
can
,
duke
Phylyp
,
the
mayster
and
Brysebar
shal
not
turney
agaynste
our

,
because
they
haue
bene
in

,
and
haue
had
there
righte
good
chere
and
as
for

the

I

for
I
wyl
that

In
the
name
of
god
so
be
it
{quod}
Gouernar
,
and
so
euery
man
drew
to
his
rest
for

,
and
the

betimes

euery

rose

so
went

and
after
toke

Than
the

ran
to

on

Than

Than
Arthur
came

In

so
be

departed
Arthur

syr
I

,
it

wherfore
I

wherfore

go

and
no

that

&
I

I
