Then there came a varlet to her and said: Damosel, will ye do after me?
Full fain, said the damosel.
Then go you unto such a knight that lieth here beside in an hermitage, and that followeth the Questing Beast, and pray him to take the battle upon him, and anon I wot well he will grant you.
So anon she took her palfrey, and within a while she found that knight, that was Sir Palomides.

And when she required him he armed him and rode with her, and made her to go to the haut prince, and to ask leave for her knight to do battle.

I will well, said the haut prince.

Then the knights were ready in the field to joust on horseback; and either gat a spear in their hands, and met so fiercely together that their spears all to-shivered.

Then they flang out swords, and Sir Palomides smote Sir Goneries down to the earth.
