第141章 BOOK IX(21)

Then came the King with the Hundred Knights,and brought Sir Tristram an horse,and so was he horsed again.By then was Sir Palomides horsed,and with great ire he jousted upon Sir Tristram with his spear as it was in the rest,and gave him a great dash with his sword.Then Sir Tristram avoided his spear,and gat him by the neck with his both hands,and pulled him clean out of his saddle,and so he bare him afore him the length of ten spears,and then in the presence of them all he let him fall at his adventure.Then Sir Tristram was ware of King Arthur with a naked sword in his hand,and with his spear Sir Tristram ran upon King Arthur;and then King Arthur boldly abode him and with his sword he smote a-two his spear,and therewithal Sir Tristram stonied;and so King Arthur gave him three or four strokes or he might get out his sword,and at the last Sir Tristram drew his sword and [either]assailed other passing hard.With that the great press departed [them].Then Sir Tristram rode here and there and did his great pain,that eleven of the good knights of the blood of King Ban,that was of Sir Launcelot's kin,that day Sir Tristram smote down;that all the estates marvelled of his great deeds and all cried upon the Knight with the Black Shield.

CHAPTER XXXIV

How Sir Launcelot hurt Sir Tristram,and how after Sir Tristram smote down Sir Palomides.

THEN this cry was so large that Sir Launcelot heard it.And then he gat a great spear in his hand and came towards the cry.Then Sir Launcelot cried:The Knight with the Black Shield,make thee ready to joust with me.When Sir Tristram heard him say so he gat his spear in his hand,and either abashed down their heads,and came together as thunder;and Sir Tristram's spear brake in pieces,and Sir Launcelot by malfortune struck Sir Tristram on the side a deep wound nigh to the death;but yet Sir Tristram avoided not his saddle,and so the spear brake.Therewithal Sir Tristram that was wounded gat out his sword,and he rushed to Sir Launcelot,and gave him three great strokes upon the helm that the fire sprang thereout,and Sir Launcelot abashed his head lowly toward his saddle-bow.And therewithal Sir Tristram departed from the field,for he felt him so wounded that he weened he should have died;and Sir Dinadan espied him and followed him into the forest.Then Sir Launcelot abode and did many marvellous deeds.

So when Sir Tristram was departed by the forest's side he alighted,and unlaced his harness and freshed his wound;then weened Sir Dinadan that he should have died.Nay,nay,said Sir Tristram,Dinadan never dread thee,for I am heart-whole,and of this wound I shall soon be whole,by the mercy of God.By that Sir Dinadan was ware where came Palomides riding straight upon them.And then Sir Tristram was ware that Sir Palomides came to have destroyed him.And so Sir Dinadan gave him warning,and said:Sir Tristram,my lord,ye are so sore wounded that ye may not have ado with him,therefore I will ride against him and do to him what I may,and if I be slain ye may pray for my soul;and in the meanwhile ye may withdraw you and go into the castle,or in the forest,that he shall not meet with you.Sir Tristram smiled and said:I thank you,Sir Dinadan,of your good will,but ye shall wit that I am able to handle him.And then anon hastily he armed him,and took his horse,and a great spear in his hand,and said to Sir Dinadan:Adieu;and rode toward Sir Palomides a soft pace.Then when Sir Palomides saw that,he made countenance to amend his horse,but he did it for this cause,for he abode Sir Gaheris that came after him.And when he was come he rode toward Sir Tristram.Then Sir Tristram sent unto Sir Palomides,and required him to joust with him;and if he smote down Sir Palomides he would do no more to him;and if it so happened that Sir Palomides smote down Sir Tristram,he bade him do his utterance.So they were accorded.Then they met together,and Sir Tristram smote down Sir Palomides that he had a grievous fall,so that he lay still as he had been dead.And then Sir Tristram ran upon Sir Gaheris,and he would not have jousted;but whether he would or not Sir Tristram smote him over his horse's croup,that he lay still as though he had been dead.

And then Sir Tristram rode his way and left Sir Persides'squire within the pavilions,and Sir Tristram and Sir Dinadan rode to an old knight's place to lodge them.And that old knight had five sons at the tournament,for whom he prayed God heartily for their coming home.And so,as the French book saith,they came home all five well beaten.

And when Sir Tristram departed into the forest Sir Launcelot held alway the stour like hard,as a man araged that took no heed to himself,and wit ye well there was many a noble knight against him.And when King Arthur saw Sir Launcelot do so marvellous deeds of arms he then armed him,and took his horse and his armour,and rode into the field to help Sir Launcelot;and so many knights came in with King Arthur.And to make short tale in conclusion,the King of Northgalis and the King of the Hundred Knights were put to the worse;and because Sir Launcelot abode and was the last in the field the prize was given him.But Sir Launcelot would neither for king,queen,nor knight,have the prize,but where the cry was cried through the field:Sir Launcelot,Sir Launcelot hath won the field this day,Sir Launcelot let make another cry contrary:Sir Tristram hath won the field,for he began first,and last he hath endured,and so hath he done the first day,the second,and the third day.

CHAPTER XXXV

How the prize of the third day was given to Sir Launcelot,and Sir Launcelot gave it to Sir Tristram.
