CHAPTER V.How Sir Tristram met at the peron with Sir Launcelot, and how.
they fought together unknown.
THEN departed Sir Tristram and rode straight unto Camelot, to the peron that Merlin had made to-fore, where Sir Lanceor, that was the king's son of Ireland, was slain by the hands of Balin.

And in that same place was the fair lady Colombe slain, that was love unto Sir Lanceor; for after he was dead she took his sword and thrust it through her body.

And by the craft of Merlin he made to inter this knight, Lanceor, and his lady, Colombe, under one stone.

And at that time Merlin prophesied that in that same place should fight two the best knights that ever were in Arthur's days, and the best lovers.

So when Sir Tristram came to the tomb where Lanceor and his lady were buried he looked about him after Sir Palomides.
