Ciw-restr ar gyfer Gyfert

(Bernardo) {To an apprentice, painting.}
 
(Bernardo) Ah, Gyfert! Welcome!
(1, 1) 75 Welcome, Bernardo, too.
(1, 1) 76 It's long since we did meet.
(Bernardo) I think
 
(Bernardo) Eight months.
(1, 1) 79 Is it so much? I never thought
(1, 1) 80 It was so long.
(Bernardo) Ye have been active then?
 
(Bernardo) Whence are ye come?
(1, 1) 83 Whence but from Logris, man.
(1, 1) 84 We were drawn thither by some false reports
(1, 1) 85 Of Saxon landing.
(Bernardo) You have need of me?
 
(Bernardo) You have need of me?
(1, 1) 87 A pair of tassets and some saddle steels.
(Bernardo) Come, let me see them.
 
(Bernardo) Come, let me see them.
(1, 1) 89 They have had rough use.
(Bernardo) Truly they have. I cannot make them good
 
(Bernardo) Before the morrow.
(1, 1) 92 I'm not troublesome;
(1, 1) 93 Say in three days.
(Bernardo) You do not need them then
 
(Bernardo) To-morrow?
(1, 1) 96 No, why should we?
(Bernardo) Tis the last,
 
(Bernardo) To-day is Pentecost!
(1, 1) 100 I had forgotten it.
(1, 1) 101 When one is serving on the boundaries
(1, 1) 102 Of all known order, one is apt to miss
(1, 1) 103 The nice discernment of each date and feast.
(1, 1) 104 It's Pentecost.
(Bernardo) The Prince of Devon then
 
(Bernardo) Will break no lance to-morrow.
(1, 1) 107 He is proved.
(1, 1) 108 These tests are good for practice, but the best
(1, 1) 109 Of all our knighthood serve their cause apart.
(1, 1) 110 But I'm sorry that we took no hand.
(1, 1) 111 Who did the best in recent tournaments?
(Bernardo) Sir Lamorak.
 
(Bernardo) Sir Lamorak.
(1, 1) 113 Good! He's a noble knight.
(Bernardo) Gawain.
 
(Bernardo) Gawain.
(1, 1) 115 Of course!
(Bernardo) His brother Agravaine.
 
(Bernardo) His brother Agravaine.
(1, 1) 117 Sir Agravaine?
(Bernardo) Aye, he is much advanced
 
(Bernardo) In strength and favour.
(1, 1) 120 I believe my lord
(1, 1) 121 Loves him but little.
(Bernardo) He's a gallant soul.
 
(Bernardo) He's a gallant soul.
(1, 1) 123 And so are many. He has certain faults
(1, 1) 124 Which spoil the liking men should have for him.
(1, 1) 125 Your countryman, has he gained no repute?
(1, 1) 126 We thought him likely to do much.
(Bernardo) Who is
 
(Bernardo) My countryman?
(1, 1) 129 Sir Lanval.
(Bernardo) He is not.
 
(Bernardo) But casts them out to batten on the world.
(1, 1) 134 They do her honour.
(Bernardo) There are no better knights
 
(Bernardo) In Christendom.
(1, 1) 137 But still Sir Lanval came
(1, 1) 138 From Italy.
(Bernardo) True, an Italian lord
 
(Bernardo) Of my far country.
(1, 1) 143 What is his birth to me?
(1, 1) 144 Who worsted him?
(Bernardo) No one; he took no part,
 
(Bernardo) Nor have I seen him for some days.
(1, 1) 147 Tis strange.
(1, 1) 148 I often heard my master say no knight
(1, 1) 149 In all this land was worthier in his sight.
(1, 1) 150 Where does he lodge?
(Bernardo) In the third ward, I think.
 
(Bernardo) In the third ward, I think.
(1, 1) 152 I have a message for him from my lord,
(1, 1) 153 Which I had best deliver. In three days,
(1, 1) 154 You said, Bernardo, these should be repaired.
(Bernardo) I'll see to it.
 
(Triamour) On such a moment. Come, it is the hour!
(1, 2) 930 Wast here, fellow?
(Charcoal-burner 1) Aye, for sure,
 
(Geraint) Question him, Gyfert.
(1, 2) 935 Aye, my lord.
(1, 2) 936 If we but find the track of him, I'll lay this dog's nose to it, and if he follow the line untruly, we have rope and trees.
(Charcoal-burner 1) Spare me, my lord. Indeed, we left him here;
 
(Charcoal-burner 1) He bade us leave him.
(1, 2) 939 Here's a fire, my lord,
(1, 2) 940 And warm as yet.
(Geraint) He cannot then be far.
 
(Geraint) A plague of this darkness. Bring the torches by.
(1, 2) 943 Now for a cast! Speak to it truly, my ill-favoured brachet. Give tongue, fellow!
(Charcoal-burner 1) Truly, my lord, we made this fire for him,
 
(Charcoal-burner 1) Prayed him return. He bade us leave him here.
(1, 2) 947 His cloak!
(Geraint) Unmarked?
 
(Geraint) Unmarked?
(1, 2) 949 Save of the soil, my lord.
(Geraint) He may have wandered. Curse this night and gloom.
 
(Geraint) He may have wandered. Curse this night and gloom.
(1, 2) 951 It grows the wilder for the touch of dawn.
(Geraint) What fit of madness made him choose this place
 
(Geraint) To rest him in?
(1, 2) 954 This fellow saith it holds
(1, 2) 955 An evil name.
(Geraint) Most like, the while he's in it!
 
(Geraint) Where are his tracks?
(1, 2) 958 Confusion, 'tis too hard
(1, 2) 959 In this ill light!
(Geraint) We'll try by day. {To man-at-arms.} Go, thou,
 
(Geraint) Unless we find him!
(1, 2) 974 Tis a gallows face!
(1, 2) 975 Here's a good branch.
(Charcoal-burner 1) Oh, no, my lord.
 
(Geraint) Bring him away; the moon is overcast.
(1, 2) 980 If it were not, this dog would howl to it.
(Triamour) Go! Speed you, shadows! Come not near to us,
 
(Geraint) And the faint seas beyond. Gyfert!
(2, 2) 1324 My lord.
(Geraint) We'll turn again. We cannot find him here,
 
(Geraint) Which claim attention.
(2, 2) 1328 We shall find him yet.
(Geraint) No doubt. His bones, a cap of steel, some links
 
(Geraint) In finding it.
(2, 2) 1334 And leave it so?
(Geraint) How else?
 
(2, 2) 1342 Prince, what shall we do with this?
(Geraint) He came near hanging: without cause, I think;
 
(Geraint) Rouse them.
(2, 2) 1348 Up, Beric! up, ye sweltering dogs!
(2, 2) 1349 Up, you!
(Charcoal-burner 1) My lord, an evil spirit —
 
(2, 2) 1352 That dose to cure it.
(Charcoal-burner 1) Good, my lord.
 
(Geraint) {Aside} Gyfert!
(4, 1) 3336 Here, my lord.
(Geraint) Go to Sir Lanval; I'm his surety,
 
(Geraint) And bring him to me. We shall lead the van.
(4, 1) 3339 I will, my lord.
(Arthur) I could be wroth, Geraint,
 
(Geraint) Has he returned?
(4, 2) 3560 Not yet, my lord.
(Geraint) We've swinged
 
(Geraint) The hornets' nest, and left them buzzing.
(4, 2) 3564 Still
(4, 2) 3565 As yet.
(Geraint) Too quiet, they'll be up anon
 
(4, 2) 3572 At least for action. Out, you skulking dogs!
 
(4, 2) 3574 Out of the shadow!
(Geraint) {Striding across to Gyfert} Why, what's here? Old man!
 
(Geraint) Shall turn me from it.
(4, 2) 3734 Our runner is returned.
(4, 2) 3735 He found Owain with levies of North Wales.
(4, 2) 3736 They come to help us.
(Geraint) Could he hear no word
 
(Geraint) Of the King's forces?
(4, 2) 3739 No.
(Geraint) The dawn is near!
 
(Owain) To answer me.
(4, 2) 3833 He leads us.
(Owain) God defend
 
(Owain) You, Gyfert, follow us.
(4, 2) 3847 My lord,
(4, 2) 3848 We have our orders.
(Owain) And a cur to lead!
 
(Lanval) Even these men stand shamed to follow me.
(4, 2) 3865 It is not so, Sir Lanval, we do not
(4, 2) 3866 Forget old battles.
(Lanval) I remember now.
 
(Lanval) The ridge we hold. Ye know it.
(4, 2) 3872 Aye, we do.
(Lanval) Thence we can lend assistance in short space
 
(Lanval) Thine own discernment.
(4, 2) 3877 I will do so, sir!
