Then the Knight with the Red Shield turned and called his squires, and so passed forth on his way, and rode a great pace.
And when he was past Sir Palomides went to Sir Dinadan, and said: I had never such a shame of one knight that ever I met; and therefore I cast me to ride after him, and to be revenged with my sword, for a-horseback I deem I shall get no worship of him.

Sir Palomides, said Dinadan, ye shall not meddle with him by my counsel, for ye shall get no worship of him; and for this cause, ye have seen him this day have had overmuch to do, and overmuch travailed.

By almighty Jesu, said Palomides, I shall never be at ease till that I have had ado with him.

Sir, said Dinadan, I shall give you my beholding.

Well, said Palomides, then shall ye see how we shall redress our mights.
