for my Vnckle Arthurs sake
I am glad as grasse wold be of raine,
great Ioy that I may take.
Sr Gawaine tooke the lady by the one arme,
Sr Kay tooke her by the tother,
they led her straight to k. Arthur
as they were brother & brother.
K. Arthur welcomed them there all,
& soe did lady Geneuer his queene,
wth all the knights of the round table
most seemly to be seene.
K. Arthur beheld that lady faire
that was soe faire & bright,
he thanked christ in trinity
for Sr Gawaine that gentle knight;
Soe did the knights, both more and lesse,
reioyced all that day
for the good chance yt hapened was
to Sr Gawaine & his lady gay.
