How King Pellinore took Arthur's horse and followed the.
Questing Beast, and how Merlin met with Arthur.
SIR knight, said the king, leave that quest, and suffer me to have it, and I will follow it another twelvemonth.

Ah, fool, said the knight unto Arthur, it is in vain thy desire, for it shall never be achieved but by me, or my next kin.

Therewith he started unto the king's horse and mounted into the saddle, and said, Gramercy, this horse is my own.

Well, said the king, thou mayst take my horse by force, but an I might prove thee whether thou were better on horseback or I .-- Well, said the knight, seek me here when thou wilt, and here nigh this well thou shalt find me, and so passed on his way.
