Then he must needs say in spite of himself: "Sire, my name is Yder, son of Nut. This morning I had not thought that any single man by force of arms could conquer me. Now I have found by experience a man who is better than I. THEN HE MUST NEEDS SAY IN SPITE OF HIMSELF SIRE MY NAME IS EATER SON OF NOOT THIS MORNING I HAD NOT THOUGHT THAT A SINGLE MAN BY FORCE OF ARMS COULD CONQUER ME NOW I HAVE FOUND BY EXPERIENCE A MAN WHO IS BETTER THAN I
Guinevere, when thou didst allow thy ill-bred dwarf to strike my lady's damsel. It is disgraceful to strike a woman. And afterwards he struck me, taking me for some common fellow. Thou wast guilty of too great insolence when thou sawest such an outrage and didst complacently permit such a monster of a lout to strike the damsel and myself. For such a crime I may well hate thee; for thou hast committed a grave offence. Thou shalt now constitute thyself my prisoner, and without delay go straight to my lady whom thou wilt surely find at Cardigan, if thither thou takest thy way. Thou wilt reach there this very night, for it is not seven leagues from here, I think. Thou shalt hand over to her thyself, thy damsel, and thy dwarf, to do as she may dictate; and tell her that I send her word that to-morrow I shall come contented, bringing with me a damsel so fair and wise and fine that in all the world she has not her match. So much thou mayst tell her truthfully. And now I wish to know thy name. ESTERDAY WITH QUEEN GUENEVER WHEN THOU DIDST ALLOW THOU ILL BRED DWARF TO STRIKE MY LADY'S DAMSEL IT IS DISGRACEFUL TO STRIKE A WOMAN AND AFTERWARDS HE STRUCK ME TAKING ME FOR SOME COMMON FELLOW THOU WAST GUILTY OF TOO GREAT INSOLENCE WHEN THOU SAWEST SUCH AN OUTRAGE AND DIDST PLACENTLY PERMIT SUCH A MONSTER OF A LOUT TO STRIKE THE DAMSEL AND MYSELF FOR SUCH A CRIME I MAY WELL HATE THEE FOR THOU HAST COMMITTED A GRAVE OFFENCE THOU SHALT NOW CONSTITUTE THYSELF MY PRISONER AND WITHOUT DELAY GO STRAIGHT TO MY LADY WHOM THOU WILT SURELY FIND AT CARNEGAN IF THITHER THOU TAKEST THY WAY THOU WILT REACH THERE THIS VERY NIGHT FOR IT IS NOT SEVEN LEAGUES FROM HERE I THINK THOU SHALT HAND OVER TO HER THYSELF THY DAMSEL AND THY DWARF TO DO AS SHE MAY DICTATE AND TELL HER THAT I SEND HER WORD THAT TO MORROW I SHALL COME CONTENTED BRINGING WITH ME A DAMSEL SO FAIR AND WISE AND FINE THAT IN ALL THE WORLD SHE HAS NOT MET HER MATCH SO MUCH THOU MAYEST TELL HER TRUTHFULLY AND NOW I WISH TO KNOW THY NAME
