And if I do battle, said Sir Tristram, ye are not able to withstand me.

Fie on thee, coward, said Sir Dinadan.
And thus as they hoved still, they saw a knight come riding against them.

Lo, said Sir Tristram, see where cometh a knight riding, will joust with you.

Anon, as Sir Dinadan beheld him he said: That is the same doted knight that I saw lie by the well, neither sleeping nor waking.

Well, said Sir Tristram, I know that knight well with the covered shield of azure, he is the king's son of Northumberland, his name is Epinegris; and he is as great a lover as I know, and he loveth the king's daughter of Wales, a full fair lady.
