How Sir Dinadan told Sir Palomides of the battle between.
Sir Launcelot and Sir Tristam.
NOW turn we again unto Sir Palomides, how Sir Dinadan comforted him in all that he might, from his great sorrow.

What knight are ye?
said Sir Palomides.

Sir, I am a knight-errant as ye be, that hath sought you long by your shield.

Here is my shield, said Sir Palomides, wit ye well, an ye will ought, therewith I will defend it.
