第175章 BOOK X(27)

So they departed,and Sir Galahalt did great deeds of arms.And right so came Dinadan and encountered with Sir Galahalt,and either came to other so fast with their spears that their spears brake to their hands.But Dinadan had weened the haut prince had been more weary than he was.And then he smote many sad strokes at the haut prince;but when Dinadan saw he might not get him to the earth he said:My lord,I pray you leave me,and take another.The haut prince knew not Dinadan,and left goodly for his fair words.And so they departed;but soon there came another and told the haut prince that it was Dinadan.Forsooth,said the prince,therefore am I heavy that he is so escaped from me,for with his mocks and japes now shall I never have done with him.

And then Galahalt rode fast after him,and bade him:

Abide,Dinadan,for King Arthur's sake.Nay,said Dinadan,so God me help,we meet no more together this day.Then in that wrath the haut prince met with Meliagaunce,and he smote him in the throat that an he had fallen his neck had broken;and with the same spear he smote down another knight.Then came in they of Northgalis and many strangers,and were like to have put them of Surluse to the worse,for Sir Galahalt,the haut prince,had ever much in hand.So there came the good knight,Semound the Valiant,with forty knights,and he beat them all aback.Then the Queen Guenever and Sir Launcelot let blow to lodging,and every knight unarmed him,and dressed him to the feast.

CHAPTER XLIII

How Sir Archade appealed Sir Palomides of treason,and how Sir Palomides slew him.

WHEN Palomides was unarmed he asked lodging for himself and the damosel.Anon the haut prince commanded them to lodging.And he was not so soon in his lodging but there came a knight that hight Archade,he was brother unto Goneries that Palomides slew afore in the damosel's quarrel.And this knight,Archade,called Sir Palomides traitor,and appealed him for the death of his brother.By the leave of the haut prince,said Palomides,I shall answer thee.When Sir Galahalt understood their quarrel he bade them go to dinner:And as soon as ye have dined look that either knight be ready in the field.So when they had dined they were armed both,and took their horses,and the queen,and the prince,and Sir Launcelot,were set to behold them;and so they let run their horses,and there Sir Palomides bare Archade on his spear over his horse's tail.And then Palomides alighted and drew his sword,but Sir Archade might not arise;and there Sir Palomides raced off his helm,and smote off his head.Then the haut prince and Queen Guenever went unto supper.Then King Bagdemagus sent away his son Meliagaunce because Sir Launcelot should not meet with him,for he hated Sir Launcelot,and that knew he not.

CHAPTER XLIV

Of the third day,and how Sir Palomides jousted with Sir Lamorak,and other things.

NOW beginneth the third day of jousting;and at that day King Bagdemagus made him ready;and there came against him King Marsil,that had in gift an island of Sir Galahalt the haut prince;and this island had the name Pomitain.Then it befell that King Bagdemagus and King Marsil of Pomitain met together with spears,and King Marsil had such a buffet that he fell over his horse's croup.Then came there in a knight of King Marsil to revenge his lord,and King Bagdemagus smote him down,horse and man,to the earth.So there came an earl that hight Arrouse,and Sir Breuse,and an hundred knights with them of Pomitain,and the King of Northgalis was with them;and all these were against them of Surluse.

And then there began great battle,and many knights were cast under horses'feet.And ever King Bagdemagus did best,for he first began,and ever he held on.Gaheris,Gawaine's brother,smote ever at the face of King Bagdemagus;and at the last King Bagdemagus hurtled down Gaheris,horse and man.

Then by adventure Sir Palomides,the good knight,met with Sir Blamore de Ganis,Sir Bleoberis'brother.

And either smote other with great spears,that both their horses and knights fell to the earth.But Sir Blamore had such a fall that he had almost broken his neck,for the blood brast out at nose,mouth,and his ears,but at the last he recovered well by good surgeons.Then there came in the Duke Chaleins of Clarance;and in his governance there came a knight that hight Elis la Noire;and there encountered with him King Bagdemagus,and he smote Elis that he made him to avoid his saddle.So the Duke Chaleins of Clarance did there great deeds of arms,and of so late as he came in the third day there was no man did so well except King Bagdemagus and Sir Palomides,that the prize was given that day to King Bagdemagus.And then they blew unto lodging,and unarmed them,and went to the feast.Right so came Dinadan,and mocked and japed with King Bagdemagus that all knights laughed at him,for he was a fine japer,and well loving all good knights.

So anon as they had dined there came a varlet bearing four spears on his back;and he came to Palomides,and said thus:Here is a knight by hath sent you the choice of four spears,and requireth you for your lady's sake to take that one half of these spears,and joust with him in the field.Tell him,said Palomides,I will not fail him.

When Sir Galahalt wist of this,he bade Palomides make him ready.So the Queen Guenever,the haut prince,and Sir Launcelot,they were set upon scaffolds to give the judgment of these two knights.Then Sir Palomides and the strange knight ran so eagerly together that their spears brake to their hands.Anon withal either of them took a great spear in his hand and all to-shivered them in pieces.And then either took a greater spear,and then the knight smote down Sir Palomides,horse and man,to the earth.And as he would have passed over him the strange knight's horse stumbled and fell down upon Palomides.Then they drew their swords and lashed together wonderly sore a great while.
