King Arthur rode thitherward and alighteth before this little house, and entereth thereinto and draweth his horse after him, that had much pains to enter in at the door, and laid his spear down on the ground and leant his shield against the wall, and hath ungirded his sword and unlaced his ventail.
The tears ran down from his comely eyes right amidst his face and through the ventail, and, had he durst make other dole, yet greater would it have been. Of the mourning the King made is there nought to speak, for this sorrow resembleth none other.
He went his way right amidst them toward the door of the great hall, which he findeth shut, and rattled the ring so loud that it made the whole hall resound thereof. A knight cometh to open it and he entereth in. "Sir Knight, welcome may you be!" "Good adventure may you have!" saith Perceval. He lowereth his ventail and taketh off his helm.
Then he alighteth over him, lowereth his coif, unlaceth the ventail, and smiteth off his head. "Damsel," saith he, "Take it, I present it to you.

Then he alighteth over him and taketh off the coif of his habergeon and unlaceth his ventail. "What have you in mind to do?" said Aristor. "I will cut off your head," said Perceval, "and present it to my sister whom you have failed." "Do not so!" saith Aristor, "But let me live, and I will forgo my hatred."
An armed man came in the throng of the battle, and struck him on the ventail of his helmet, and beat him to the ground; and as he sought to recover himself a knight beat him down again, striking him on the thick of his thigh, down to the bone. "Gurth saw the English falling around, and that there was no remedy.
