| When Sir Launcelot heard this he was passing heavy, and wist not what to do. |
| Then forthwithal Gareth rushed upon Sir Launcelot, and gave him a great stroke upon his helm so hard that he was astonied. |
| Then Sir Launcelot alit and entered into the chapel and there he saw an old man dead, in a white shirt of passing fine cloth. |
| Then shall he, said Sir Launcelot, receive the high order of knighthood as tomorn at the reverence of the high feast. |
| Launcelot entered in so armed, for he found no gate nor door but it was open. |
| Then Sir Launcelot drew his sword and put the stroke aback, and clave his head unto the paps. |
