In these last months there's been a bitter waste — |
|
|
(1, 1) 448 |
Of breath. There's been more ditty-making, sighing, |
(1, 1) 449 |
And yammering than I care to keep count of. |
|
|
(1, 1) 451 |
Play? |
(1, 1) 452 |
All the babes that can carry a sword without being crushed by the belt, or hit a swinging shield with a practice-spear are bellowing and challenging like bucks. |
(1, 1) 453 |
They'd be better of a little blood-letting. |
(1, 1) 454 |
War's a fine chastener of manners. |
|
|
(1, 1) 456 |
God knows I've seen enough of war's true self, |
(1, 1) 457 |
To need no practice in its semblances. |
(1, 1) 458 |
Our strife is over for the time, it seems. |
(1, 1) 459 |
I keep my breath, for I have need of it |
(1, 1) 460 |
For other purpose than this foolishness. |
|
|
(1, 1) 463 |
So soon? |
|
|
(1, 1) 465 |
The Saxons will not come for such a meal, |
(1, 1) 466 |
Having so tasted of our stuff — |
|
|
(1, 1) 470 |
This may please you, the Queen |
(1, 1) 471 |
Hath cast her favour on Sir Agravaine. |
|
|
(1, 1) 473 |
Nor do the most of us. |
(1, 1) 474 |
He gained some honour in the Saxon war, |
(1, 1) 475 |
And for that cause is by the Queen preferred, |
(1, 1) 476 |
And so by Arthur much advanced and loved. |
|
|
(1, 1) 480 |
The queen doth favour him. |
|
|
(1, 1) 483 |
Who? |
|
|
(1, 1) 488 |
How could we engage |
(1, 1) 489 |
Him in this passage? |
|
|
(1, 1) 493 |
He has not taken part |
(1, 1) 494 |
In joust or tournay since this court was held. |
|
|
(1, 1) 496 |
He may have cause to be. |
(1, 1) 497 |
At least I noted that amongst the hosts |
(1, 1) 498 |
Who got rewards and favours of the King, |
(1, 1) 499 |
He was not mentioned. |
|
|
(1, 1) 502 |
Maybe he did. Perhaps the King forgot, |
(1, 1) 503 |
Or else Cador. |
|
|
(1, 1) 511 |
The devil take all those who have a mind |
(1, 1) 512 |
To cure injustice; there'll be trouble here. |
|
|
(1, 1) 518 |
Blunt blades, Bernardo? |
|
|
(1, 1) 520 |
Best sharpen them. |
|
|
(1, 1) 522 |
Why thus: |
(1, 1) 523 |
There are not enough Picts, Scots, Angles, Saxons, or discontented folk in the kingdom for some of us, so we must needs encourage carving amongst our own friends. |
|
|
(1, 1) 618 |
Into the forest. |
|
|
(1, 1) 620 |
He rides |
(1, 1) 621 |
Into the evening. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1693 |
Hast seen Geraint, Sir Astamor? 'Tis time |
(3, 1) 1694 |
We brought our man to his pavilion. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1697 |
Wherefore wait ye here? |
|
|
(3, 1) 1700 |
He needs you not: |
(3, 1) 1701 |
I come from him in council with Cador, |
(3, 1) 1702 |
The Duke of Cornwall. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1705 |
I will answer for it. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1708 |
No, I am not. I said I'll answer for it. |
(3, 1) 1709 |
God speed you, Sirs. {He turns away.} |
|
|
(3, 1) 1712 |
Aye, haste away and scuffle for your place. |
(3, 1) 1713 |
Stare with the rabble. Feathers, voices, spurs, |
(3, 1) 1714 |
Are all your being, and suit cockerels |
(3, 1) 1715 |
As well as knights. God! I'd as soon have set |
(3, 1) 1716 |
Two dogs by the ears and had a reeking barn |
(3, 1) 1717 |
Of goggling rustics for their audience |
(3, 1) 1718 |
As touch this business. All in honour's name? |
(3, 1) 1719 |
Oh, honour, virtue, grace, nobility, |
(3, 1) 1720 |
What fools you make of men! |
|
|
(3, 1) 1722 |
At last! |
(3, 1) 1723 |
Is Lanval armed? |
|
|
(3, 1) 1725 |
We shall be late. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1728 |
I did think, Geraint, |
(3, 1) 1729 |
That you had puddled in this mud as much |
(3, 1) 1730 |
As our opponents. Why I am compelled |
(3, 1) 1731 |
To take a hand in this fantastic shift |
(3, 1) 1732 |
I cannot think. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1735 |
Well, God deliver me |
(3, 1) 1736 |
From such a friendship. It's a kindly act |
(3, 1) 1737 |
To urge one's friend into a bitter cleft |
(3, 1) 1738 |
Where, if he gains, there's little profit found, |
(3, 1) 1739 |
And if he lose the certainty of shame. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1748 |
Hot head, soft heart, these are the devil's aids. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1757 |
Good. Thy shoulder, Lanval, smarts? |
|
|
(3, 1) 1759 |
Have a care |
(3, 1) 1760 |
To well protect it. |
|
|
(3, 1) 1764 |
The marshals to the lists. Let us go down. |
|
|
(3, 1) 2250 |
Fool! It is true, he has some wisdom then! |
|
|
(3, 1) 2252 |
Well wrought, Sir Lanval. |
|
|
(4, 1) 2984 |
Am I a man to trouble in such case? |
|
|
(4, 1) 3030 |
God! To be hampered in one's natural work |
(4, 1) 3031 |
For such a case! Here see the clustered spears, |
(4, 1) 3032 |
The glaives and axes of the gathered tribes |
(4, 1) 3033 |
Waiting for us! Our banners are unfurled, |
(4, 1) 3034 |
The lazy standards and forked pennons droop |
(4, 1) 3035 |
And lisp in air. And we alone are dull, |
(4, 1) 3036 |
Wasting the hours that give our homes and lands |
(4, 1) 3037 |
To strangers' holding! |
|
|
(4, 1) 3089 |
Why must we be let |
(4, 1) 3090 |
By one who's proved a liar? |
|
|
(4, 1) 3095 |
We'll push him to a better end. |
|
|
(4, 1) 3117 |
This chattering fool? |
|
|
(4, 1) 3139 |
Great talkers, at the least. |
|
|
(4, 1) 3148 |
I say kill, hang, or burn. |
(4, 1) 3149 |
I for myself think that he's innocent; |
(4, 1) 3150 |
But this displeasure that his trial gives |
(4, 1) 3151 |
Can serve for guilt. All's guilty which will stand |
(4, 1) 3152 |
Between our nature and its purposes: |
(4, 1) 3153 |
So I condemn him for his innocence |
(4, 1) 3154 |
That fawns on folly. |
|
|
(4, 1) 3176 |
Cornwall, let him die. |
(4, 1) 3177 |
Why should this life hold all of us in leash, |
(4, 1) 3178 |
When we are straining to take up the scent, |
(4, 1) 3179 |
And run our quarry? |
|
|
(4, 1) 3223 |
I liked him well. |
|
|
(4, 1) 3263 |
Hearken now, ye lords, |
(4, 1) 3264 |
And let my bluntness put an end to words. |
(4, 1) 3265 |
I held a liking for this fellow once, |
(4, 1) 3266 |
Since I believed he scorned, as well as I, |
(4, 1) 3267 |
The love adventures, idle quests and aims, |
(4, 1) 3268 |
In fact, all folly that this court adores. |
(4, 1) 3269 |
Since he proved foolish I have lost all care. |
(4, 1) 3270 |
Had but the fool denied this idle taunt, |
(4, 1) 3271 |
And straight acknowledged that he loved the Queen, |
(4, 1) 3272 |
We might have saved him. I advised you kill. |
(4, 1) 3273 |
Death's cheap enough, and we have learnt long since |
(4, 1) 3274 |
How to inflict it. Since Geraint withstands |
(4, 1) 3275 |
The better issue, I'll not baulk his love, |
(4, 1) 3276 |
Though I despise it, and believe that harm |
(4, 1) 3277 |
Will come of it. I bid you banish him. |
(4, 1) 3278 |
Proclaim him guilty, honourless and foul, |
(4, 1) 3279 |
Henceforth degraded from this company. |
(4, 1) 3280 |
Let him go out and see this court no more. |
(4, 1) 3281 |
So shall this cause which doth offend all ears |
(4, 1) 3282 |
Be dead and ended. |
|
|
(4, 2) 3826 |
They have joined too soon. |
(4, 2) 3827 |
Split legions in a forest and the odds |
(4, 2) 3828 |
Are 'gainst good timing. What are ye? |
|
|
(4, 2) 3831 |
I want an honest man |
(4, 2) 3832 |
To answer me. |
|
|
(4, 2) 3834 |
God defend |
(4, 2) 3835 |
You from his leading. You! I do not know |
(4, 2) 3836 |
With what good reason you afflict our paths. |
(4, 2) 3837 |
The common outcome of our judgment is |
(4, 2) 3838 |
That malefactors are enforced to feel |
(4, 2) 3839 |
Their punishment. The sutlers, and the scum |
(4, 2) 3840 |
Of ragged thieves who haunt our armies' march, |
(4, 2) 3841 |
Should be behind. |
|
|
(4, 2) 3843 |
Peace, you. But I am glad that you are dumb: |
(4, 2) 3844 |
Shame marks a vestige of your former state. |
(4, 2) 3845 |
Now better it, and get you out from us. |
(4, 2) 3846 |
You, Gyfert, follow us. |
|
|
(4, 2) 3849 |
And a cur to lead! |
(4, 2) 3850 |
Not gone yet, fool? Out of my path, you dog. |
|
|
(4, 2) 3854 |
Honour protects no vermin! What, my friend, |
(4, 2) 3855 |
Will you shew teeth? |
|
|
(4, 2) 3858 |
Hearken, they're to it. Our good game begins. |
(4, 2) 3859 |
Out, swords, and follow! |
