Do thou therefore keep our kingdom till I return. 'I will do so, my son, said Erbin, 'but thou art not strong enough to go through the land of Logres alone. Wilt thou not have a company with thee? 'But one person shall go with me, said Geraint, 'and that is a woman. Farewell.
Messire Gawain was at the assembly, but we tell you for true, it was he that did worst thereat." "Alas," saith Meliot of Logres, "Then have I lost my land, and he hath become even such an one as you tell me." "You would readily believe us," say they, "had you seen him at the assembly!" Meliot turneth him back, right sorrowful.
The other Camelot, of King Arthur's, was situate at the entrance of the kingdom of Logres, and was peopled of folk and was seated at the head of the King's land, for that he had in his governance all the lands that on that side marched with his own. Of Perceval the story is here silent, and saith that King Arthur and Messire Gawain have taken leave of Perceval and all them of the castle.
My brother will die unless his wounds are touched with that sword and that cloth, for nothing else on earth will stop their bleeding." "This is a marvellous tale," said Lancelot. "Who is your brother?" "His name is Meliot de Logres." What and where the Chapel Perilous is I know not, but I do not fear its perils." "This highway will bring you to it, and at no great distance," she replied.
Yet, strange to say, amid these autumn stubbles of declining genius we light upon oases more sweet, more tenderly suggestive, than aught the prime produced. It is not my business to speak of Milton here. I need not recall his "Knights of Logres and of Lyonesse," or resume his Euripidean garlands showered on Samson's grave.
This High History witnesseth whereof this account cometh, and saith that Perceval is in the kingdom of Logres, and came great pace toward the land of the Queen of the Tents to release the Damsel of the Car, that he had left in hostage on account of Clamados, that had put upon him the treason whereof behoved him to defend himself.
Nevertheless, he could not rest long in one place, but went into Logres and Alban and Wales, seeking adventures, and his fame for prowess was almost as great as the fame of Sir Lancelot. Whereever he went he took his harp, and in hall and bower his favourite songs were those that praised the beauty of La Belle Isoude, her gentle ways and her soft white hands.
"Sir," saith the Queen to Perceval, "Go part these two knights asunder that one slay not the other, for they are sore wounded." Perceval goeth to part them and cometh to Meliot of Logres. "Sir," saith he, "Withdraw yourself back; you have done enough." Clamados felt that he was sore wounded in two places, and that the wound he had in his breast was right great. He draweth himself back.
Then the knight told his friends that since he might no longer stay in his own country, he should cross the sea to the realm of Logres, and sojourn there awhile, for his solace. His fief he placed in the hands of his wife, and he required of his men, and of all who held him dear, that they would serve her loyally.
"His name, sir," she replied, "is Sir Meliot de Logres." "Then, sir," said she, "follow this way, and it will bring ye to the Chapel Perilous. I will abide here till God send ye hither again; for if ye speed not, there is no living knight who may achieve that adventure." So Sir Lancelot departed, and when he came to the Chapel Perilous he alighted, and tied his horse to the gate.
