Llinellau gan Agravaine (Cyfanswm: 133)

 
(1, 1) 377 I have much else to think of, Meliard.
 
(1, 1) 381 Enough!
 
(1, 1) 401 Think'st thou, Gawain, this guard is wide enough?
 
(1, 1) 403 And see this blazoning!
(1, 1) 404 Twill not look ill on to-morrow's field!
 
(1, 1) 407 Borne in such a cause
(1, 1) 408 As I uphold.
 
(1, 1) 410 My own!
(1, 1) 411 It cannot fail.
 
(1, 1) 413 Why, I am borne upon the central stream
(1, 1) 414 Of Fortune's current. Brother, blame me not;
(1, 1) 415 There is a sweetness in the taste of power
(1, 1) 416 Beyond all savours.
 
(1, 1) 419 Loved! What care I for any man's regard?
(1, 1) 420 And for the rest this manner has its use.
 
(1, 1) 533 Should fortune aid me, I believe I hold
(1, 1) 534 As fair a chance upon to-morrow's field
(1, 1) 535 As any man.
 
(1, 1) 545 Do as thou wilt, Geraint,
(1, 1) 546 But I must fear thy wager is ill found.
 
(1, 1) 549 No,
(1, 1) 550 I bear no badge.
 
(1, 1) 553 No, I bear no badge.
 
(1, 1) 558 Sir, the fair gifts the King has rendered me
(1, 1) 559 For my attainments are not to be staked
(1, 1) 560 In such a manner.
 
(1, 1) 567 Be it accepted. What paladin is this
(1, 1) 568 I must encounter?
 
(1, 1) 570 No, Geraint,
(1, 1) 571 I will not rob you. 'Tis too slight a task.
 
(1, 1) 598 I do know.
(1, 1) 599 He will return when this is overpast;
(1, 1) 600 I had not failed him if he wished to break
(1, 1) 601 A lance with me. But he has never dared.
(1, 1) 602 Therefore, Geraint, thy lands are forfeited
(1, 1) 603 To my possession.
 
(1, 1) 609 I said he feared, and I will stand by it.
 
(1, 1) 614 I am well prepared
(1, 1) 615 To answer for it, if Sir Lanval dare!
 
(4, 1) 2890 But have some patience —
 
(4, 1) 2895 They'll have ended this
(4, 1) 2896 Within the hour.
 
(4, 1) 2905 They say the King demands his death.
 
(4, 1) 2910 A strange heresy!
 
(4, 1) 2913 None better!
 
(4, 1) 2923 I do not, Geraint.
(4, 1) 2924 He overthrew me; therefore he must be
(4, 1) 2925 One of the noblest, best, most valiant knights
(4, 1) 2926 In all the world.
 
(4, 1) 2929 And now to make a pretty tale,
(4, 1) 2930 I should save his? I would 'twere possible.
(4, 1) 2931 But I await this verdict. How can I
(4, 1) 2932 Divert its issue?
 
(4, 1) 2934 I shall be glad. Oh, the sweet rogue, the rogue!
(4, 1) 2935 To think he had this hidden! I was tricked,
(4, 1) 2936 As all of us.
 
(4, 1) 2938 Why, I'm kind
(4, 1) 2939 To all that have a likeness to myself.
 
(4, 1) 2942 Surely. Rascal that he is,
(4, 1) 2943 I almost love him!
 
(4, 1) 2946 Each to his taste. Here come
(4, 1) 2947 Our solemn judges. God help me, or I'll laugh.
 
(4, 1) 2949 My lords, the King impatiently attends
(4, 1) 2950 Upon your judgment.
 
(4, 1) 2953 But, my lords, the knights
(4, 1) 2954 And barons murmur.
 
(4, 1) 3060 I hope not, brother. I am here prepared
(4, 1) 3061 To be a witness. I could tell a tale
(4, 1) 3062 Of forest meetings, love-quests sought, achieved,
(4, 1) 3063 Some say unwillingly.
 
(4, 1) 3071 May I not then disclose
(4, 1) 3072 My poor opinion?
 
(4, 1) 3074 Of you,
(4, 1) 3075 No doubt, my brother. But of other men
(4, 1) 3076 A little different.
 
(4, 1) 3078 There ye mistake you. I am much concerned;
(4, 1) 3079 Ye try a lust, and who's more competent
(4, 1) 3080 Than I to judge it? Is there lechery?
(4, 1) 3081 I am its master! There's no crime of love
(4, 1) 3082 But I have touched it.
 
(4, 1) 3085 Nay, I help your dense
(4, 1) 3086 Old wrinkled thoughts. Our King's enangered, hot
(4, 1) 3087 Upon his purpose. Judge as best you can,
(4, 1) 3088 He will accept it.
 
(4, 1) 3091 Is it worse
(4, 1) 3092 To be a liar than a butcher? Then
(4, 1) 3093 I hope that Lanval's guilty. He may come
(4, 1) 3094 To be as fair a rascal as I am.
 
(4, 1) 3096 No doubt,
(4, 1) 3097 For death's your woman! A foul taste, Owain,
(4, 1) 3098 To wish your mistress common.
 
(4, 1) 3101 I could never hope
(4, 1) 3102 To help him much. I had to speak or laugh,
(4, 1) 3103 And laughter would have hurt you more than words.
 
(4, 1) 3105 Why look, Cador;
(4, 1) 3106 Of you I will say nothing, for I think
(4, 1) 3107 You're kindly minded: but behold Owain,
(4, 1) 3108 Our swart old savage handler of the sword,
(4, 1) 3109 A judge of love! Gawain, the advocate
(4, 1) 3110 Of all the virtues, and the father too
(4, 1) 3111 Of sundry bastards!
 
(4, 1) 3114 You would lack
(4, 1) 3115 Even a conscience.
 
(4, 1) 3158 How strange it is that men hate most the deeds
(4, 1) 3159 In others which they practice of themselves.
(4, 1) 3160 What foolishness!
 
(4, 1) 3205 Have at him, brother!
 
(4, 1) 3261 This virtue's catching; we shall have a plague
(4, 1) 3262 Of this same honour!
 
(4, 2) 4028 Here is an early fruit
(4, 2) 4029 Of this encounter.
 
(4, 2) 4031 No man
(4, 2) 4032 Of consequence. His mail is thin and torn,
(4, 2) 4033 And he's not armoured.
 
(4, 2) 4041 Lanval, as I live!
 
(4, 2) 4043 Quiet. We'll not interfere.
(4, 2) 4044 Let him alone.
 
(4, 2) 4046 God knows.
(4, 2) 4047 We'll serve no purpose in revealing this:
(4, 2) 4048 He'll not have long to wait for company,
(4, 2) 4049 And I'll not grudge him half an hour of hell.
 
(4, 2) 4051 Why? The man's forgot
(4, 2) 4052 As soon as dead. Here ends an episode,
(4, 2) 4053 One of those little tangled businesses,
(4, 2) 4054 Which colour our existence for a space,
(4, 2) 4055 And then slip down the years. We fought
(4, 2) 4056 Only a week since and I had the worst.
(4, 2) 4057 He was a very tall man of his hands,
(4, 2) 4058 Yet I am living and he's safe and dead.
(4, 2) 4059 Strange, Astamor, that I, the only one
(4, 2) 4060 Who ever came by any harm from him,
(4, 2) 4061 Should so regret him.
 
(4, 2) 4081 Strike, Sire!
