It is well said, said Alisander; and so lightly he avoided his horse and betook him to his varlet.

And then they rushed together like two boars, and laid on their helms and shields long time, by the space of three hours, that never man could say which was the better knight.
And in the meanwhile came Morgan le Fay to the damosel of the castle, and they beheld the battle.

But this Malgrin was an old roted knight, and he was called one of the dangerous knights of the world to do battle on foot, but on horseback there were many better.

And ever this Malgrin awaited to slay Alisander, and so wounded him wonderly sore, that it was marvel that ever he might stand, for he had bled so much blood; for Alisander fought wildly, and not wittily.

And that other was a felonious knight, and awaited him, and smote him sore.
