How Sir Palomides would have jousted for Sir Lamorak with.
the knights of the castle.
THEN forthwithal came a knight out of the castle, with a shield bended with black and with white.

And anon the Knight with the Red Shield and he encountered so hard that he smote the knight of the castle through the bended shield and through the body, and brake the horse's back.

Fair knight, said Sir Palomides, ye have overmuch on hand, therefore I pray you let me joust, for ye had need to be reposed.

Why sir, said the knight, seem ye that I am weak and feeble?
and sir, methinketh ye proffer me wrong, and to me shame, when I do well enough.
