Lancelot Du Lake</strong></div><div style="margin:10px 0">When Arthur first in court began,<br>And was approvèd king,<br>By force of armes great victorys wonne,<br>And conquest home did bring;</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then into England straight he came<br>With fifty good and able<br>Knights that resorted unto him,<br>And were of the Round Table.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And many justs and turnaments<br>Whereto were many prest,<br>Wherein some knights did farr excell,<br>And eke surmount the rest.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">But one Sir Lancelot du Lake,<br>Who was approvèd well,<br>He for his deeds and feates of armes<br>All others did excell.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">When he had rested him a while,<br>In play, and game, and sportt,<br>He said he wold goe prove himselfe,<br>In some adventurous sort.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He armèd rode in forrest wide,<br>And met a damsell faire,<br>Who told him of adventures great,<br>Whereto he gave good care.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Why shold I not?" quoth Lancelott tho,<br>"For that cause came I hither."<br>"Thou seemst," quoth she, "a knight full good,"<br>And I will bring thee thither,</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Wheras a mighty knight doth dwell,<br>That now is of great fame;<br>Therefore tell me what knight thou art,<br>And what may be thy name."</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"My name is Lancelot du Lake."<br>Quoth she, "It likes me than;<br>Here dwelles a knight who never was<br>Yet matcht with any man;</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Who has in prison threescore knights<br>And four, that he did wound;<br>Knights of King Arthurs court they be,<br>And of his Table Round."</div><div style="margin:10px 0">She brought him to a river side,<br>And also to a tree,<br>Whereon a copper bason hung,<br>And many shields to see.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">He struck soe hard, the bason broke:<br>And Tarquin soon he spyed:<br>Who drove a horse before him fast,<br>Whereon a knight lay tyed.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Sir Knight," then sayd Sir Lancelòtt,<br>"Bring me that horse-load hither,<br>And lay him downe, and let him rest;<br>Weel try our force together.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"For, as I understand, thou hast,<br>Soe far as thou art able,<br>Done great despite and shame unto<br>The knights of the Round Table."</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"If thou be of the Table Round,"<br>Quoth Tarquin, speedilye,<br>"Both thee and all thy fellowship<br>I utterly defye."</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"That's over much," quoth Lancelott tho,<br>"Defend thee by and by."<br>They sett their speares unto their steeds,<br>And each att other flye.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They coucht their speares, (their horses ran,<br>As though there had been thunder);<br>And strucke them each immidst their shields,<br>Wherewith they broke in sunder.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Their horsses backes brake under them,<br>The knights were both astound;<br>To avoyd their horsses they made great haste,<br>And light upon the ground.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They tooke them to their shields full fast,<br>Their swords they drew out than;<br>With mighty strokes most eagerlye<br>Each at the other ran.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They wounded were, and bled full sore,<br>They both for breath did stand,<br>And leaning on their swordes awhile,<br>Quoth Tarquine, "Hold thy hand,</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"And tell to me what I shall aske;"<br>"Say on," quoth Lancelot tho.<br>"Thou art," quoth Tarquine, "the best knight<br>That ever I did know;</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"And like a knight that I did hate;<br>Soe that thou be not hee,<br>I will deliver all the rest,<br>And eke accord with thee."</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"That is well sayd," quoth Lancelott tho,<br>"But sith it must be soe,<br>What knight is that thou hatest thus?<br>I pray thee to meshow."</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"His name is Lancelot du Lake,<br>He slew my brother deere;<br>Him I suspect of all the rest:<br>I would I had him here."</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"Thy wish thou hast, but yet unknowne;<br>I am Lancelot du Lake,<br>Now knight of Arthurs Table Round;<br>King Hauds son of Schuwake;</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"And I desire thee do thy worst."<br>"Ho, ho," quoth Tarquin tho,<br>"One of us two shall end our lives,<br>Before that we do go.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">"If thou be Lancelot du Lake<br>Then welcome shalt thou bee;<br>Wherfore see thou thyself defend,<br>For now defye I thee."</div><div style="margin:10px 0">They buckled then together so,<br>Like unto wild boares rashing,<br>And with their swords and shields they ran<br>At one another slashing.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The ground besprinkled was with blood,<br>Tarquin began to yield;<br>For he gave backe for wearinesse,<br>And lowe did beare his shield.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">This soone Sir Lancelot espyde,<br>He leapt upon him then,<br>He pull'd him downe upon his knee,<br>And rushing off his helm,</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Forthwith he strucke his necke in two;<br>And when he had soe done,<br>From prison, threescore knights and four<br>Delivered everye one.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br
