第102章 BOOK VIII(6)

So at the day of jousts there came Sir Palamides with a black shield,and he overthrew many knights,that all the people had marvel of him.For he put to the worse Sir Gawaine,Gaheris,Agravaine,Bagdemagus,Kay,Dodinas le Savage,Sagramore le Desirous,Gumret le Petit,and Griflet le Fise de Dieu.All these the first day Sir Palamides struck down to the earth.And then all manner of knights were adread of Sir Palamides,and many called him the Knight with the Black Shield.So that day Sir Palamides had great worship.

Then came King Anguish unto Tramtrist,and asked him why he would not joust.Sir,he said,I was but late hurt,and as yet I dare not adventure me.Then came there the same squire that was sent from the king's daughter of France unto Sir Tristram.And when he had espied Sir Tristram he fell flat to his feet.All that espied La Beale Isoud,what courtesy the squire made unto Sir Tristram.And therewithal suddenly Sir Tristram ran unto his squire,whose name was Hebes le Renoumes,and prayed him heartily in no wise to tell his name.Sir,said Hebes,I will not discover your name but if ye command me.

CHAPTER X

How Sir Tristram won the degree at a tournament in Ireland,and there made Palamides to bear no more harness in a year.

THEN Sir Tristram asked him what he did in those countries.Sir,he said,I came hither with Sir Gawaine for to be made knight,and if it please you,of your hands that I may be made knight.

Await upon me as to-morn secretly,and in the field I shall make you a knight.

Then had La Beale Isoud great suspicion unto Tramtrist,that he was some man of worship proved,and therewith she comforted herself,and cast more love unto him than she had done to-fore.

And so on the morn Sir Palamides made him ready to come into the field as he did the first day.And there he smote down the King with the Hundred Knights,and the King of Scots.Then had La Beale Isoud ordained and well arrayed Sir Tristram in white horse and harness.And right so she let put him out at a privy postern,and so he came into the field as it had been a bright angel.And anon Sir Palamides espied him,and therewith he feutred a spear unto Sir Tramtrist,and he again unto him.And there Sir Tristram smote down Sir Palamides unto the earth.And then there was a great noise of people:some said Sir Palamides had a fall,some said the Knight with the Black Shield had a fall.And wit you well La Beale Isoud was passing glad.And then Sir Gawaine and his fellows nine had marvel what knight it might be that had smitten down Sir Palamides.Then would there none joust with Tramtrist,but all that there were forsook him,most and least.Then Sir Tristram made Hebes a knight,and caused him to put himself forth,and did right well that day.So after Sir Hebes held him with Sir Tristram.

And when Sir Palamides had received this fall,wit ye well that he was sore ashamed,and as privily as he might he withdrew him out of the field.All that espied Sir Tristram,and lightly he rode after Sir Palamides and overtook him,and bade him turn,for better he would assay him or ever he departed.Then Sir Palamides turned him,and either lashed at other with their swords.But at the first stroke Sir Tristram smote down Palamides,and gave him such a stroke upon the head that he fell to the earth.So then Tristram bade yield him,and do his commandment,or else he would slay him.When Sir Palamides beheld his countenance,he dread his buffets so,that he granted all his askings.Well said,said Sir Tristram,this shall be your charge.First,upon pain of your life that ye forsake my lady La Beale Isoud,and in no manner wise that ye draw not to her.Also this twelvemonth and a day that ye bear none armour nor none harness of war.Now promise me this,or here shalt thou die.Alas,said Palamides,for ever am I ashamed.Then he sware as Sir Tristram had commanded him.Then for despite and anger Sir Palamides cut off his harness,and threw them away.

And so Sir Tristram turned again to the castle where was La Beale Isoud;and by the way he met with a damosel that asked after Sir Launcelot,that won the Dolorous Guard worshipfully;and this damosel asked Sir Tristram what he was.For it was told her that it was he that smote down Sir Palamides,by whom the ten knights of King Arthur's were smitten down.Then the damosel prayed Sir Tristram to tell her what he was,and whether that he were Sir Launcelot du Lake,for she deemed that there was no knight in the world might do such deeds of arms but if it were Launcelot.Fair damosel,said Sir Tristram,wit ye well that I am not Sir Launcelot,for I was never of such prowess,but in God is all that he may make me as good a knight as the good knight Sir Launcelot.Now,gentle knight,said she,put up thy visor;and when she beheld his visage she thought she saw never a better man's visage,nor a better faring knight.And then when the damosel knew certainly that he was not Sir Launcelot,then she took her leave,and departed from him.And then Sir Tristram rode privily unto the postern,where kept him La Beale Isoud,and there she made him good cheer,and thanked God of his good speed.So anon,within a while the king and the queen understood that it was Tramtrist that smote down Sir Palamides;then was he much made of,more than he was before.

CHAPTER XI

How the queen espied that Sir Tristram had slain her brother Sir Marhaus by his sword,and in what jeopardy he was.
