Thereupon, behold you! Lancelot and the knight with him, whom they had
not been looking for. Lancelot espied the King and Messire Gawain;
then the knights cried out and struck among them as a hawk striketh
amongst larks, and made them scatter on one side and the other.
Lancelot hath caught one at his coming, and smiteth him with his spear
through the body, and Meliot of Logres slayeth another. King Arthur
knew Lancelot, and right glad was he to see him safe and sound, as was
Messire Gawain likewise. Lancelot and Meliot of Logres made clear the
passage for them. The knights departed, for longer durst they not
abide. The damsel of the castle held a squire by the hand, that was
right passing comely. She knew Lancelot, and when she saw him she
called him.
