"Sir, herewithin none harboureth save the Lord God alone, for earthly man hath never entered herewithin but me this forty year, but see, here in front is the castle wherein the good knights are lodged." "What is the castle?" "Sir, the good King Fisherman's, that is surrounded with great waters and plenteous in all things good, so the lord were in joy.
"Lady, no wish have I to depart without your leave, but rather shall I be ready to clear myself of blame whensoever and wheresoever time and place may be. But herewithin may I make not so long sojourn. Natheless to this will I pledge my word, that I will return thither within a term of fifteen days from the time he shall be whole."
For every time that a knight cometh hither to harbour within this castle it appeareth as brightly as you see it now. And greater cheer would I make you than I do were I able to help myself, but I am fallen into languishment from the hour that the knight of whom you have heard tell harboured herewithin. On account of one single word he delayed to speak, did this languishment come upon me.
Well, said he, that were all one to me, to want both legs and arms, provided you and I had but one merry bout together at the brangle-buttock game; for herewithin is in showing her his long codpiece Master John Thursday, who will play you such an antic that you shall feel the sweetness thereof even to the very marrow of your bones.
They bear the body to a chapel, then they disarm him and wind him in his shroud. After that they lead Perceval into the hall and disarm him and say to him: "Sir, you may be well assured that there be none but us twain herewithin and two damsels, and the doors are barred, and behold, here are the keys which we deliver up to you."
"Sir," saith she, "For a knight that I tended and healed herewithin, whom Brundans hath killed in treason, and God thereof grant us vengeance yet, for so courteous knight saw I never." While she was speaking in this manner, forthwith behold you a damsel that cometh.
"Blessed be the hour," saith Messire Gawain, "that I came herewithin!" "Mine be it!" saith the priest. Messire Gawain lay therewithin the night, and right well lodged was he. The morrow, when he had heard mass, he departed and went forth of the castle when he had taken leave.
"Sir, I am called Lancelot of the Lake, King Ban's son of Benoic." "Ha," saith the King, "you are nigh of our lineage, you ought to be good knight of right, and so are you as I have heard witness, Lancelot," saith the King. "Behold there the chapel where the most Holy Graal taketh his rest, that appeared to two knights that have been herewithin.
"Sir," saith the Damsel of the Car, "I will remain here in hostage for you." "But do you pray him," saith the Queen, "that he remain herewithin with us." "Lady," saith Perceval, "I may not, for I left Lancelot wounded right sore in my uncle's hermitage." "Sir," saith the Queen, "I would fain that remaining here might have pleased you as well as it would me."
"Sir," saith she to Messire Gawain, "I plain me much of him, for never hath he been fain to enter herewithin, save the one time that he did battle with his uncle, but ever sithence hath he made repair to this island and rowed about this sea." "Lady," saith Messire Gawain, "and whereabout may he be now?"
