And when they came to the sword that the hand held, King Arthur took it up

"I am Sir Launcelot du Lake, King Ban's son of Benwick, and knight of the Round Table"

And lived by fruit and such as he might get

The lady Lyoness ... had the dwarf in examination

"They fought with him on foot more than three hours, both before him and behind him"

King Mark slew the noble knight Sir Tristram as he sat harping before his lady la Belle Isolde

Then Sir Launcelot saw her visage, but he wept not greatly, but sighed

BOOK I

OF KING ARTHUR

It befell in the days of the noble Utherpendragon, when he was King of England, the king commanded two knights and two ladies to take the child bound in rich cloth of gold, "and deliver him to what poor man you meet at the postern gate of the castle." So the child was delivered unto Merlin, and so he bare it forth unto Sir Ector, and made an holy man to christen him, and named him Arthur; and so Sir Ector's wife nourished him. Then within two years King Uther fell sick of a great malady; . Then stood the realm in great a long while, for every lord made him strong, and many weened to have been king. And when the first mass was done there was seen in the church-yard, against the high altar, a great stone four-square, like to a marble stone, and in the midst thereof was an anvil of steel, a foot of height, and therein stuck a fair sword naked by the point, and letters of gold were written about the sword that said thus: WHO SO PULLETH OUT THIS SWORD OF THIS STONE AND ANVIL, IS RIGHTWISE KING BORN OF ENGLAND.
