How Alisander was delivered from Queen Morgan le Fay by.
the means of a damosel.
SIR knight, said the damosel, an ye would be merry I could tell you good tidings.

Well were me, said Alisander, an I might hear of good tidings, for now I stand as a prisoner by my promise.

Sir, she said, wit you well that ye be a prisoner, and worse than ye ween; for my lady, my cousin Queen Morgan le Fay, keepeth you here for none other intent but for to do her pleasure with you when it liketh her.

O Jesu defend me, said Alisander, from such pleasure; for I had liefer cut away my hangers than I would do her such pleasure.
