"What is your name, fair friend?" saith the King. "Sir," saith he, "I am called Clamados of the Shadows."
Perceval looketh at her and marvelleth much of that she saith, and she crieth out: "Lady, behold here him that hath slain the best knight of your lineage! And you, Clamados, that are within there, he hath slain your father and your uncle! Now shall it be seen what you will do!" The Damsel of the Car cometh thitherward and knoweth Perceval by the shield that he bare of sinople with a white hart.
The Queen is come thither. "Fair nephew," saith she, "Are you badly wounded?" "Yea, Lady," saith Clamados. "Certes," saith the Queen, "this grieveth me, but never yet saw I knight and he were desirous of fighting, but came at some time by mischance. A man may not always stand on all his rights."
Clamados cutteth off his head and goeth to hang it at the door of the hall. Then he cometh back to his horse and mounteth the best he may. And the Damsel saith to him, "Sir, you are sore wounded." "Damsel," said he, "please God, I shall take no hurt thereof." Thereupon, behold you a squire that issueth forth of the hall and cometh after him full speed.
Clamados cometh forward to proffer his gage. "By my head," saith the Queen, "not this day shall gage be received herein. But to-morrow will come day, and counsel therewith, and then shall fight be done to each."
"Lady," saith Clamados, "Who is this Good Knight?" "The son of the Widow Lady of the Valleys of Camelot," saith she. "Tell me, Lady, do you say that he will come hither presently?" "So methinketh," saith she. "Lady, I also shall have great joy thereof, and God grant he come betimes!" "Sir Knight," saith she, "What is your name?"
"Fair sweet friend," saith Clamados, "it may well be that the lord is right courteous, but the lion was rascal and would have slain me and them that were passing by. And your lord loved him so much he should have chained him up, for better liketh me that I slew him than that he should slay me."
"Sir," saith the squire, "there is no road this way, for it is a forbidden land whereof certain would fain reave my lord, and it was against the coming of his enemies that the lion was allowed forth unchained." "And what name hath your lord, fair friend?" saith Clamados.
The Damsel maketh her Car go on before, and the damsels go before the knight; and so enter they into the field of the lion, and right fair land found they therewithin. Clamados looketh and seeth the hall within an enclosure and seeth the lion that lay at the entrance of the gateway. As soon as he espieth Clamados and the damsels, he cometh toward them full speed, mouth open and ears pricked up.
Clamados is moved of right great wrath, but the Queen of the Tents showeth Perceval the most honour she may, whereof is Clamados right heavy, and saith that never ought any to put his trust in woman. But wrongly he blameth her therein, for she did it of the passing great love she hath for Perceval, inasmuch as well she knoweth that he is the Best Knight of the world and the comeliest.
