Then Sir Palomides and the strange knight ran so eagerly together that their spears brake to their hands.
Anon withal either of them took a great spear in his hand and all to-shivered them in pieces.

And then either took a greater spear, and then the knight smote down Sir Palomides, horse and man, to the earth.
And as he would have passed over him the strange knight's horse stumbled and fell down upon Palomides.

Then they drew their swords and lashed together wonderly sore a great while.
Then the haut prince and Sir Launcelot said they saw never two knights fight better than they did; but ever the strange knight doubled his strokes, and put Palomides aback; therewithal the haut prince cried: Ho: and then they went to lodging.

And when they were unarmed they knew it was the noble knight Sir Lamorak.

When Sir Launcelot knew that it was Sir Lamorak he made much of him, for above all earthly men he loved him best except Sir Tristram.
