Traitor! Traitor!

Sir Gawayne.

[Stopping short.] Now by the Four Evangelists.... [He takes a sudden decision, and goes toward his bride.] Lady, love is free in himself, and never will be bound, but I shall be your servant and knight in right and wrong, and I shall never fail you to do as much as a knight may do, and I promise you faithfully that I shall be all the days of my life your knight!

Déliveré.

Coward!

“Look, Sir Knight! Behold the visage of your bride!”

Sir Gawayne.

Not so, Sir Déliveré, for, God wot, I have chosen the more perilous part!
