PART III.

Sir Lybius arms himself, and leaps on horseback: he finds two giants

roasting a wild boar, who have a fair lady their captive. Sir Lybius,

by favour of the night, runs one of them through with his spear: is

assaulted by the other: a fierce battle ensues: he cuts off the giant's

arm, and at length his head. The rescued lady (an Earl's daughter)

tells him her story; and leads him to her father's castle; who

entertains him with a great feast; and presents him at parting with a

suit of armour and a steed. He sends the giant's head to K. Arthur.
