第134章 BOOK IX(14)

AND at the next landing,fast by the sea,there met with Sir Tristram and with Sir Dinadan,Sir Ector de Maris and Sir Bors de Ganis;and there Sir Ector jousted with Sir Dinadan,and he smote him and his horse down.And then Sir Tristram would have jousted with Sir Bors,and Sir Bors said that he would not joust with no Cornish knights,for they are not called men of worship;and all this was done upon a bridge.And with this came Sir Bleoberis and Sir Driant,and Sir Bleoberis proffered to joust with Sir Tristram,and there Sir Tristram smote down Sir Bleoberis.Then said Sir Bors de Ganis:I wist never Cornish knight of so great valour nor so valiant as that knight that beareth the trappings embroidered with crowns.And then Sir Tristram and Sir Dinadan departed from them into a forest,and there met them a damosel that came for the love of Sir Launcelot to seek after some noble knights of King Arthur's court for to rescue Sir Launcelot.And so Sir Launcelot was ordained,for-by the treason of Queen Morgan le Fay to have slain Sir Launcelot,and for that cause she ordained thirty knights to lie in await for Sir Launcelot,and this damosel knew this treason.And for this cause the damosel came for to seek noble knights to help Sir Launcelot.For that night,or the day after,Sir Launcelot should come where these thirty knights were.And so this damosel met with Sir Bors and Sir Ector and with Sir Driant,and there she told them all four of the treason of Morgan le Fay;and then they promised her that they would be nigh where Sir Launcelot should meet with the thirty knights.And if so be they set upon him we will do rescues as we can.

So the damosel departed,and by adventure the damosel met with Sir Tristram and with Sir Dinadan,and there the damosel told them all the treason that was ordained for Sir Launcelot.

Fair damosel,said Sir Tristram,bring me to that same place where they should meet with Sir Launcelot.Then said Sir Dinadan:What will ye do?it is not for us to fight with thirty knights,and wit you well I will not thereof;as to match one knight two or three is enough an they be men,but for to match fifteen knights that will I never undertake.Fie for shame,said Sir Tristram,do but your part.Nay,said Sir Dinadan,I will not thereof but if ye will lend me your shield,for ye bear a shield of Cornwall;and for the cowardice that is named to the knights of Cornwall,by your shields ye be ever forborne.Nay,said Sir Tristram,I will not depart from my shield for her sake that gave it me.But one thing,said Sir Tristram,I promise thee,Sir Dinadan,but if thou wilt promise me to abide with me,here I shall slay thee,for I desire no more of thee but answer one knight.And if thy heart will not serve thee,stand by and look upon me and them.Sir,said Sir Dinadan,I promise you to look upon and to do what I may to save myself,but I would I had not met with you.

So then anon these thirty knights came fast by these four knights,and they were ware of them,and either of other.And so these thirty knights let them pass,for this cause,that they would not wrath them,if case be that they had ado with Sir Launcelot;and the four knights let them pass to this intent,that they would see and behold what they would do with Sir Launcelot.And so the thirty knights passed on and came by Sir Tristram and by Sir Dinadan,and then Sir Tristram cried on high:

Lo,here is a knight against you for the love of Sir Launcelot.

And there he slew two with one spear and ten with his sword.And then came in Sir Dinadan and he did passing well,and so of the thirty knights there went but ten away,and they fled.All this battle saw Sir Bors de Ganis and his three fellows,and then they saw well it was the same knight that jousted with them at the bridge;then they took their horses and rode unto Sir Tristram,and praised him and thanked him of his good deeds,and they all desired Sir Tristram to go with them to their lodging;and he said:Nay,he would not go to no lodging.Then they all four knights prayed him to tell them his name.Fair lords,said Sir Tristram,as at this time I will not tell you my name.

CHAPTER XXIV

How Sir Tristram and Sir Dinadan came to a lodging where they must joust with two knights.

THEN Sir Tristram and Sir Dinadan rode forth their way till they came to the shepherds and to the herdmen,and there they asked them if they knew any lodging or harbour there nigh hand.

Forsooth,sirs,said the herdmen,hereby is good lodging in a castle;but there is such a custom that there shall no knight be harboured but if he joust with two knights,and if he be but one knight he must joust with two.And as ye be therein soon shall ye be matched.There is shrewd harbour,said Sir Dinadan;lodge where ye will,for I will not lodge there.Fie for shame,said Sir Tristram,are ye not a knight of the Table Round?wherefore ye may not with your worship refuse your lodging.Not so,said the herdmen,for an ye be beaten and have the worse ye shall not be lodged there,and if ye beat them ye shall be well harboured.

Ah,said Sir Dinadan,they are two sure knights.Then Sir Dinadan would not lodge there in no manner but as Sir Tristram required him of his knighthood;and so they rode thither.And to make short tale,Sir Tristram and Sir Dinadan smote them down both,and so they entered into the castle and had good cheer as they could think or devise.

And when they were unarmed,and thought to be merry and in good rest,there came in at the gates Sir Palomides and Sir Gaheris,requiring to have the custom of the castle.What array is this?
