And now leave we off awhile of Sir Ector and of Sir Percivale,and speak we of Sir Launcelot thatsuffered and endured many sharp showers, that ever ran wildwood from place to place, and lived by fruit and such as hemight get, and drank water two year; and other clothing hadhe but little but his shirt and his breech. Thus as Sir Launce-lot wandered here and there he came in a fair meadow wherehe found a pavilion; and there by, upon a tree, there hunga white shield, and two swords hung thereby, and two spearsleaned there by a tree. And when Sir Launcelot saw the. 298 OF SIR LAUNCELOT AND DAME ELAINE swords, anon he leapt to the one sword, and took it in hishand, and drew it out. And then he lashed at the shield,that all the meadow rang of the dints, that he gave such anoise as ten knights had foughten together. Then came forth a dwarf, and leapt unto Sir Launcelot,and would have had the sword out of his hand. And thenSir Launcelot took him by the both shoulders and threwhim to the ground upon his neck, that he had almost brokenhis neck; and therewithal the dwarf cried help. Thencame forth a likely knight, and well apparelled in scarletfurred with minever. And anon as he saw Sir Launcelothe deemed that he should be out of his wit. And then hesaid with fair speech: Good man, lay down that sword, foras meseemeth thou hadst more need of sleep and ofwarm clothes than to wield that sword. As for that, said SirLauncelot, come not too nigh, for an thou do, wit thouwell I will slay thee.
