And now I suppose, said Sir Tristram, an ye require him he will joust with you, and then shall ye prove whether a lover be a better knight, or ye that will not love no lady.

Well, said Dinadan, now shalt thou see what I shall do.
Therewithal Sir Dinadan spake on high and said: Sir knight, make thee ready to joust with me, for it is the custom of errant knights one to joust with other.

Sir, said Epinegris, is that the rule of you errant knights for to make a knight to joust, will he or nill?
As for that, said Dinadan, make thee ready, for here is for me.

And therewithal they spurred their horses and met together so hard that Epinegris smote down Sir Dinadan.

Then Sir Tristram rode to Sir Dinadan and said: How now, meseemeth the lover hath well sped.
