and rideth until that he is come into the forest and espieth the knight

that sitteth on Aristor's horse for that he hath slain the other

knight. A second knight was with him. They abide when they see

Perceval.

Aristor, as it was told us, and, like enough, it may be he."

They come toward him, full career. Perceval seeth them coming, and

forgetteth not his spurs, but rather cometh against them the speediest

he may. The two knights smote him upon the shield and brake their

spears. Perceval overtaketh him that sitteth on Aristor's horse and

thrusteth an ell's length of his spear through his body and so

overthroweth him dead.
