What knight is that, said Sir Sagramore, that ye shall fight withal?
Sirs, said he, it is a good knight called Sir Palomides.
By my head, said Sir Sagramore and Sir Dodinas, ye have cause to dread him, for ye shall find him a passing good knight, and a valiant.

And because ye shall have ado with him we will forbear you as at this time, and else ye should not escape us lightly.

But, fair knight, said Sir Sagramore, tell us your name.

Sir, said he, my name is Sir Tristram de Liones.

Ah, said Sagramore and Sir Dodinas, well be ye found, for much worship have we heard of you.
