It is pity, said Sir Lamorak, that ever any such false knight-coward as King Mark is, should be matched with such a fair lady and good as La Beale Isoud is, for all the world of him speaketh shame, and of her worship that any queen may have.

I have not ado in this matter, said King Mark, neither nought will I speak thereof.

Well said, said Sir Lamorak.

Sir, can ye tell me any tidings?
I can tell you, said Sir Lamorak, that there shall be a great tournament in haste beside Camelot, at the Castle of Jagent; and the King with the Hundred Knights and the King of Ireland, as I suppose, make that tournament.
Then there came a knight that was called Sir Dinadan, and saluted them both.

And when he wist that King Mark was a knight of Cornwall he reproved him for the love of King Mark a thousand fold more than did Sir Lamorak.
