And when she heard him tell of Sir Dinadan: Sir, said she, is not that he that made the song by King Mark?
That same is he, said Sir Tristram, for he is the best bourder and japer, and a noble knight of his hands, and the best fellow that I know, and all good knights love his fellowship.

Alas, sir, said she, why brought ye not him with you?
Have ye no care, said Sir Tristram, for he rideth to seek me in this country; and therefore he will not away till he have met with me.

And there Sir Tristram told La Beale Isoud how Sir Dinadan held against all lovers.

Right so there came in a varlet and told Sir Tristram how there was come an errant knight into the town, with such colours upon his shield.

That is Sir Dinadan, said Sir Tristram; wit ye what ye shall do, said Sir Tristram: send ye for him, my Lady Isoud, and I will not be seen, and ye shall hear the merriest knight that ever ye spake withal, and the maddest talker; and I pray you heartily that ye make him good cheer.
Then anon La Beale Isoud sent into the town, and prayed Sir Dinadan that he would come into the castle and repose him there with a lady.
