Truly, said the knight, it is an hundred part more ruefuller than my heart can utter.

I require you, said King Mark, tell me your name.

Sir, said he, as for my name I will not hide it from no knight that beareth a shield, and my name is Sir Lamorak de Galis.

But when Sir Lamorak heard King Mark speak, then wist he well by his speech that he was a Cornish knight.

Sir, said Sir Lamorak, I understand by your tongue ye be of Cornwall, wherein there dwelleth the shamefullest king that is now living, for he is a great enemy to all good knights; and that proveth well, for he hath chased out of that country Sir Tristram, that is the worshipfullest knight that now is living, and all knights speak of him worship; and for jealousness of his queen he hath chased him out of his country.
