Lanval

Ciw-restr ar gyfer Meliard

(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!
