CHAP. XXIII.

_How Sir Pelleas loved no more Ettard by means of the damsel of the

lake, whom he loved ever after._

Sir knight Pelleas, said the damsel of the lake, take your horse and

come forth with me out of this country, and ye shall love a lady that

shall love you. I will well, said Sir Pelleas, for this lady Ettard

hath done me great despite and shame. And there he told her the

beginning and ending, and how he had purposed never to have arisen till

that he had been dead,—and now I hate her as much as ever I loved her.

Thank me, said the damsel of the lake. Anon Sir Pelleas armed him, and

took his horse, and commanded his men to bring after his pavilions and

his stuff where the damsel of the lake would assign. So the lady Ettard

died for sorrow, and the damsel of the lake rejoiced Sir Pelleas, and

loved together during their life days.
