You have heard how the King that had seized the castle that had been
King Fisherman's slew himself in such wise, and how his knights were
discomfited. Perceval entered into the castle and the worshipful
hermits together with him. It seemed them when they were come within
into the master hall, that they heard chant in an inner chapel 'Gloria
in excelsis Deo', and right sweet praising of Our Lord. They found the
hails right rich and seemly and fairly adorned within. They found the
chapel open where the sacred hallows were wont to be. The holy hermits
entered therein and made their orisons, and prayed the Saviour of the
World that He would swiftly restore to them the most Holy Graal and the
sacred hallows that wont to be therewithin whereby they might be
comforted.
