How Sir Launcelot brought Sir Tristram to the court, and.
of the great joy that the king and other made for the coming of Sir Tristram.
RETURN again, said Sir Launcelot, for your quest is done, for I have met with Sir Tristram: lo, here is his own person! Then was Sir Gawaine glad, and said to Sir Tristram: Ye are welcome, for now have ye eased me greatly of my labour.

For what cause, said Sir Gawaine, came ye into this court?
Fair sir, said Sir Tristram, I came into this country because of Sir Palomides; for he and I had assigned at this day to have done battle together at the peron, and I marvel I hear not of him.

And thus by adventure my lord, Sir Launcelot, and I met together.

With this came King Arthur, and when he wist that there was Sir Tristram, then he ran unto him and took him by the hand and said: Sir Tristram, ye are as welcome as any knight that ever came to this court.
