(Bernardo) {To an apprentice, painting.} |
|
|
|
(Gawain) Good! Heed me not! I know that ye are pressed. |
(1, 1) 376 |
But, Agravaine, thou dost not hear my words! |
|
(Agravaine) I have much else to think of, Meliard. |
|
|
|
(Astamor) The little mention of a covering. |
(1, 1) 386 |
Behold his meditation and his frown, |
(1, 1) 387 |
Which now relaxes while he sweetly smiles |
(1, 1) 388 |
On vacancy. |
|
(Astamor) He only loves his thoughts |
|
|
|
(Astamor) And smiles on them. But still I do him wrong. |
(1, 1) 391 |
How, Astamor? |
|
(Astamor) Why, did he love his thoughts |
|
|
|
(Astamor) He would out-shock the poets. |
(1, 1) 395 |
We hate pride |
(1, 1) 396 |
Out of an envy, when we have no power |
(1, 1) 397 |
To humble it. |
|
(Astamor) But only the good will, |
|
|
|
(Astamor) Still, Meliard, we shall see well from here. |
(3, 1) 1653 |
How can one judge the value of a stroke |
(3, 1) 1654 |
From such a distance? |
|
(Astamor) We are high, 'tis true, |
|
|
|
(Astamor) We must make shift to watch as best we can. |
(3, 1) 1658 |
How long, think you, will our attendance last? |
|
(Astamor) I do not know. They say that messengers |
|
|
|
(Astamor) Have come from Persant. |
(3, 1) 1661 |
War again? |
|
(Astamor) No doubt. |
|
|
|
(Astamor) No doubt. |
(3, 1) 1663 |
I'd not have missed this meeting for the half |
(3, 1) 1664 |
Of what I own. What think you, Astamor — |
(3, 1) 1665 |
Is not Sir Lanval stouter than that stiff |
(3, 1) 1666 |
And lustful ruffian Agravaine? |
|
(Astamor) Take care! |
|
|
|
(Astamor) And yet I'm cautious of too much disdain. |
(3, 1) 1670 |
Lanval should gain! |
|
(Astamor) But he is wounded, man! |
|
|
|
(Astamor) But he is wounded, man! |
(3, 1) 1672 |
Wounded? |
|
(Astamor) He got a bitter hurt of late; |
|
|
|
(Astamor) A Pictish shaft through the left shoulder. |
(3, 1) 1675 |
Hurt, |
(3, 1) 1676 |
And he will yet risk all in this debate? |
|
(Astamor) Oh, it concerns a very trifling fact; |
|
|
|
(Astamor) He was accused of cowardice. |
(3, 1) 1679 |
That charge |
(3, 1) 1680 |
Was folly on the face of it. |
|
(Astamor) Of course; |
|
|
|
(Astamor) Strange, that we saw no folly in it then! |
(3, 1) 1685 |
Their conflict should be very hotly fought. |
|
(Astamor) Lanval's the defter in the use of swords, |
|
|
|
(Astamor) And has the better eye for measure — |
(3, 1) 1688 |
But his wound — |
(3, 1) 1689 |
And Agravaine's great strength! |
|
(Astamor) Well, we shall see, |
|
|
|
(Owain) The Duke of Cornwall. |
(3, 1) 1703 |
Then we can go down |
(3, 1) 1704 |
And watch this combat. |
|
(Owain) I will answer for it. |
|
|
|
(Owain) I will answer for it. |
(3, 1) 1706 |
Come, Astamor. |
|
(Astamor) You are sure, Owain? |
|
|
|
(Astamor) I have misjudged you. |
(3, 1) 2260 |
I the same. |
|
(Geraint) I knew. |
|
|
|
(Owain) Should be behind. |
(4, 2) 3842 |
This is too harsh, Owain! |
|
(Owain) Peace, you. But I am glad that you are dumb: |
|
|
|
(Owain) Not gone yet, fool? Out of my path, you dog. |
(4, 2) 3852 |
A dog's stroke too! The man's not even armed! |
