	-
When Arthur first in court began	B
And was approv d king	C
By force of armes great victorys wonne	B
And conquest home did bring	C
	-
Then into England straight he came	D
With fifty good and able	E
Knights that resorted unto him	F
And were of the Round Table	E
	-
And many justs and turnaments	G
Whereto were many prest	H
Wherein some knights did farr excell	E
And eke surmount the rest	H
	-
But one Sir Lancelot du Lake	I
Who was approv d well	E
He for his deeds and feates of armes	G
All others did excell	E
	-
When he had rested him a while	E
In play and game and sportt	H
He said he wold goe prove himselfe	J
In some adventurous sort	H
	-
He arm d rode in forrest wide	H
And met a damsell faire	K
Who told him of adventures great	H
Whereto he gave good care	K
	-
Why shold I not quoth Lancelott tho	L
For that cause came I hither	M
Thou seemst quoth she a knight full good	H
And I will bring thee thither	M
	-
Wheras a mighty knight doth dwell	E
That now is of great fame	D
Therefore tell me what knight thou art	H
And what may be thy name	D
	-
My name is Lancelot du Lake	I
Quoth she It likes me than	B
Here dwelles a knight who never was	G
Yet matcht with any man	B
	-
Who has in prison threescore knights	G
And four that he did wound	H
Knights of King Arthurs court they be	N
And of his Table Round	H
	-
She brought him to a river side	H
And also to a tree	N
Whereon a copper bason hung	O
And many shields to see	N
	-
He struck soe hard the bason broke	P
And Tarquin soon he spyed	H
Who drove a horse before him fast	H
Whereon a knight lay tyed	H
	-
Sir Knight then sayd Sir Lancel tt	H
Bring me that horse load hither	M
And lay him downe and let him rest	H
Weel try our force together	M
	-
For as I understand thou hast	H
Soe far as thou art able	E
Done great despite and shame unto	H
The knights of the Round Table	E
	-
If thou be of the Table Round	H
Quoth Tarquin speedilye	Q
Both thee and all thy fellowship	R
I utterly defye	Q
	-
That's over much quoth Lancelott tho	L
Defend thee by and by	S
They sett their speares unto their steeds	G
And each att other flye	S
	-
They coucht their speares their horses ran	B
As though there had been thunder	M
And strucke them each immidst their shields	G
Wherewith they broke in sunder	M
	-
Their horsses backes brake under them	T
The knights were both astound	H
To avoyd their horsses they made great haste	H
And light upon the ground	H
	-
They tooke them to their shields full fast	H
Their swords they drew out than	B
With mighty strokes most eagerlye	S
Each at the other ran	B
	-
They wounded were and bled full sore	M
They both for breath did stand	H
And leaning on their swordes awhile	E
Quoth Tarquine Hold thy hand	H
	-
And tell to me what I shall aske	P
Say on quoth Lancelot tho	L
Thou art quoth Tarquine the best knight	H
That ever I did know	L
	-
And like a knight that I did hate	H
Soe that thou be not hee	N
I will deliver all the rest	H
And eke accord with thee	N
	-
That is well sayd quoth Lancelott tho	L
But sith it must be soe	G
What knight is that thou hatest thus	G
I pray thee to meshow	U
	-
His name is Lancelot du Lake	P
He slew my brother deere	M
Him I suspect of all the rest	H
I would I had him here	M
	-
Thy wish thou hast but yet unknowne	L
I am Lancelot du Lake	P
Now knight of Arthurs Table Round	H
King Hauds son of Schuwake	P
	-
And I desire thee do thy worst	H
Ho ho quoth Tarquin tho	L
One of us two shall end our lives	G
Before that we do go	L
	-
If thou be Lancelot du Lake	P
Then welcome shalt thou bee	N
Wherfore see thou thyself defend	H
For now defye I thee	N
	-
They buckled then together so	L
Like unto wild boares rashing	P
And with their swords and shields they ran	L
At one another slashing	P
	-
The ground besprinkled was with blood	H
Tarquin began to yield	H
For he gave backe for wearinesse	L
And lowe did beare his shield	H
	-
This soone Sir Lancelot espyde	H
He leapt upon him then	L
He pull'd him downe upon his knee	N
And rushing off his helm	V
	-
Forthwith he strucke his necke in two	H
And when he had soe done	L
From prison threescore knights and four	M
Delivered everye one	L
