That now is of great fame;
Therefore tell me what knight thou art,
And then what is your name."
"My name is Lancelot du Lake."
Quoth she, "it likes me than;
Here dwells a knight that never was
[O'ermatch'd] with any man;
"Who has in prison threescore knights
And four, that he has bound;
Knights of King Arthur's court they be,
40 And of his Table Round."
She brought him to a river side,
And also to a tree,
Whereon a copper bason hung,
His [fellows] shields to see.
