No, said Sir Palomides, God defend, but an I had a quarrel to the better of them both I would with as good a will fight with him as with you.

Sir, I require you tell me your name, and in good faith I shall hold you company till that we come to Camelot; and there shall ye have great worship now at this great tournament; for there shall be the Queen Guenever, and La Beale Isoud of Cornwall.

Wit you well, sir knight, for the love of La Beale Isoud I will be there, and else not, but I will not have ado in King Arthur's court.

Sir, said Dinadan, I shall ride with you and do you service, so you will tell me your name.
Sir, ye shall understand my name is Sir Palomides, brother to Safere, the good and noble knight.

And Sir Segwarides and I, we be Saracens born, of father and mother.
