And a thing that is done may not be undone, said Palomides.

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

By the leave of the haut prince, said Palomides, I shall answer thee.

No more will I, said Palomides, and therefore ride forth on thy way.

Now shall I tell you, said Palomides, what woe I endure.

Fair brother, said Palomides, let be thy dolour and thy sorrow.

Well, said Palomides, then shall ye see how we shall redress our mights.

Sir, said Palomides, I knew not Sir Tristram, for he was so disguised.

Ah, said Palomides, the damosel and I be at your commandment.

Fair sirs, said Palomides, wherefore weep ye and make this sorrow?

All these words said Palomides for to beguile Sir Tristram.

I will do with her what me list, said Palomides.

And therefore, said Palomides, I shall be Sir Launcelot's knight while my life lasteth.

Tell me, said Palomides, and in what manner was your lord slain, and by whom.

Ye shall see what I will do, said Palomides.

As ye will, said Palomides, so it shall be.
