came riding, in great despite, Seeking Sir Tristram to slay, And chanced on a merry and courteous knight, But knew him not for that jesting wight
 * Sir Dinadan, brave and gay.

As saddle to saddle they paced along,
 * Hoving afar they saw

Horses and knights in a gallant throng
 * Under the forest shaw.

Said Dinadan, "Lo! by yon cloth of gold
 * Launcelot rides this way!"

And Mark, like a man that shakes with cold, Said, "Launcelot here? Then I cannot hold
 * Longer with you to-day!"
