Ah, said Sir Kay, that knight smote me adown and hurt me passing sore, and fain would I have known him, but I might not.

Jesu, mercy, said Arthur, what knight was that with the covered shield?
I know not, said Sir Tristram; and so said they all.

It is not the first time, said Arthur, he hath done so.
