Meseemeth, damosel, I should have seen you in the court of Arthur.

When Palomides was unarmed he asked lodging for himself and the damosel.

So the damosel then granted him, and there they had merry cheer.

Alas, said the damosel, my knight fighteth passing sore and over long.

Then, said the damosel, methinketh ye have no lust to help him.

Then that damosel departed, and La Cote Male Taile fast followed after.

Well, said the damosel, ye shall soon, whether ye will or not.

Fair damosel, said Sir Launcelot, know ye in this country any adventures?

Corsabrin, said Palomides, wilt thou release me yonder damosel and the pensel?

Fair knight, said Sir Gawaine, whither ride you now with that damosel?

Now, damosel, said Sir Launcelot, will ye any more service of me?

Ah, damosel, said he, with that knight would I meet passing fain.

They a' went to bed again, and the damosel began, as before, singing:

So a damosel came in to them and found them mourning.

This was the cause that the damosel came into this court.

With that came the damosel and prayed to save his life.
