So made his moan�察�and darkness falling�察�sought
A priory not far off�察�there lodged�察�but rose
With morning every day�察�and�察�moist or dry��
Full´armed upon his charger all day long
Sat by the walls�察�and no one opened to him。
And this persistence turned her scorn to wrath。
Then calling her three knights�察�she charged them�察�'Out��
And drive him from the walls。' And out they came
But Pelleas overthrew them as they dashed
Against him one by one�察�and these returned��
But still he kept his watch beneath the wall。
Thereon her wrath became a hate�察�and once��
A week beyond�察�while walking on the walls
With her three knights�察�she pointed downward�察�'Look��
He haunts meI cannot breathebesieges me��
Down� �strike him� �put my hate into your strokes��
And drive him from my walls。' And down they went��
And Pelleas overthrew them one by one��
And from the tower above him cried Ettarre��
'Bind him�察�and bring him in。'
He heard her voice��
Then let the strong hand�察�which had overthrown
Her minion´knights�察�by those he overthrew
Be bounden straight�察�and so they brought him in。
Then when he came before Ettarre�察�the sight
Of her rich beauty made him at one glance
More bondsman in his heart than in his bonds。
Yet with good cheer he spake�察�'Behold me�察�Lady��
A prisoner�察�and the vassal of thy will��
And if thou keep me in thy donjon here��
Content am I so that I see thy face
But once a day�此 �for I have sworn my vows��
And thou hast given thy promise�察�and I know
That all these pains are trials of my faith��
And that thyself�察�when thou hast seen me strained
And sifted to the utmost�察�wilt at length
Yield me thy love and know me for thy knight。'
Then she began to rail so bitterly��
With all her damsels�察�he was stricken mute��
But when she mocked his vows and the great King��
Lighted on words�此 �'For pity of thine own self��
Peace�察�Lady�察�peace�此 �is he not thine and mine��'
'Thou fool��' she said�察�'I never heard his voice
But longed to break away。 Unbind him now��
And thrust him out of doors�察�for save he be
Fool to the midmost marrow of his bones��
He will return no more。' And those�察�her three��
Laughed�察�and unbound�察�and thrust him from the gate。
And after this�察�a week beyond�察�again
She called them�察�saying�察�'There he watches yet��
There like a dog before his master's door��
Kicked�察�he returns�此 �do ye not hate him�察�ye��
Ye know yourselves�此 �how can ye bide at peace��
Affronted with his fulsome innocence��
Are ye but creatures of the board and bed��
No men to strike�拭 �Fall on him all at once��
And if ye slay him I reck not�此 �if ye fail��
Give ye the slave mine order to be bound��
Bind him as heretofore�察�and bring him in��
It may be ye shall slay him in his bonds。'
She spake�察�and at her will they couched their spears��
Three against one�此 �and Gawain passing by��
Bound upon solitary adventure�察�saw
Low down beneath the shadow of those towers
A villainy�察�three to one�此 �and through his heart
The fire of honour and all noble deeds
Flashed�察�and he called�察�'I strike upon thy side
The caitiffs��' 'Nay��' said Pelleas�察�'but forbear��
He needs no aid who doth his lady's will。'
So Gawain�察�looking at the villainy done��
Forbore�察�but in his heat and eagerness
Trembled and quivered�察�as the dog�察�withheld
A moment from the vermin that he sees
Before him�察�shivers�察�ere he springs and kills。
And Pelleas overthrew them�察�one to three��
And they rose up�察�and bound�察�and brought him in。
Then first her anger�察�leaving Pelleas�察�burned
Full on her knights in many an evil name
Of craven�察�weakling�察�and thrice´beaten hound��
'Yet�察�take him�察�ye that scarce are fit to touch��
Far less to bind�察�your victor�察�and thrust him out��
And let who will release him from his bonds。
And if he comes again'there she brake short��
And Pelleas answered�察�'Lady�察�for indeed
I loved you and I deemed you beautiful��
I cannot brook to see your beauty marred
Through evil spite�此 �and if ye love me not��
I cannot bear to dream you so forsworn��
I had liefer ye were worthy of my love��
Than to be loved again of youfarewell��
And though ye kill my hope�察�not yet my love��
Vex not yourself�此 �ye will not see me more。'
While thus he spake�察�she gazed upon the man
Of princely bearing�察�though in bonds�察�and thought��
'Why have I pushed him from me�拭�this man loves��
If love there be�此 �yet him I loved not。 Why��
I deemed him fool�拭�yea�察�so�拭�or that in him
A somethingwas it nobler than myself��
Seemed my reproach�拭 �He is not of my kind。
He could not love me�察�did he know me well。
Nay�察�let him goand quickly。' And her knights
Laughed not�察�but thrust him bounden out of door。
Forth sprang Gawain�察�and loosed him from his bonds��
And flung them o'er the walls�察�and afterward��
Shaking his hands�察�as from a lazar's rag��
'Faith of my body��' he said�察�'and art thou not
Yea thou art he�察�whom late our Arthur made
Knight of his table�察�yea and he that won
The circlet�拭�wherefore hast thou so defamed
Thy brotherhood in me and all the rest��
As let these caitiffs on thee work their will��'
And Pelleas answered�察�'O�察�their wills are hers
For whom I won the circlet�察�and mine�察�hers��
Thus to be bounden�察�so to see her face��
Marred though it be with spite and mockery now��
Other than when I found her in the woods��
And though she hath me bounden but in spite��
And all to flout me�察�when they bring me in��
Let me be bounden�察�I shall see her face��
Else must I die through mine unhappiness。'
And Gawain answered kindly though in scorn��
'Why�察�let my lady bind me if she will��
And let my lady beat me if she will��
But an she send her delegate to thrall
These fighting hands of mineChrist kill me then
But I will slice him handless by the wrist��
And let my lady sear the stump for him��
Howl as he may。 But hold me for your friend��
Come�察�ye know nothing�此 �here I pledge my troth��
Yea�察�by the honour of the Table Round��
I will be leal to thee and work thy work��
And tame thy jailing princess to thine hand。
Lend me thine horse and arms�察�and I will say
That I have slain thee。 She will let me in
To hear the manner of thy fight and fall��
Then�察�when I come within her counsels�察�then
From prime to vespers will I chant thy praise
As prowest knight and truest lover�察�more
Than any have sung thee living�察�till she long
To have thee back in lusty life again��
Not to be bound�察�save by white bonds and warm��
Dearer than freedom。 Wherefore now thy horse
And armour�此 �let me go�此 �be comforted��
Give me three days to melt her fancy�察�and hope
The third night hence will bring thee news of gold。'
Then Pelleas lent his horse and all his arms��
Saving the goodly sword�察�his prize�察�and took
Gawain's�察�and said�察�'Betray me not�察�but help
Art thou not he whom men call light´of´love��'
'Ay��' said Gawain�察�'for women be so light。'
Then bounded forward to the castle walls��
And raised a bugle hanging from his neck��
And winded it�察�and that so musically
That all the old echoes hidden in the wall
Rang out like hollow woods at hunting´tide。
Up ran a score of damsels to the tower��
'Avaunt��' they cried�察�'our lady loves thee not。'
But Gawain lifting up his vizor said��
'Gawain am I�察�Gawain of Arthur's court��
And I have slain this Pelleas whom ye hate��
Behold his horse and armour。 Open gates��
And I will make you merry。'
And down they ran��
Her damsels�察�crying to their lady�察�'Lo��
Pelleas is deadhe told ushe that hath
His horse and armour�此 �will ye let him in��
He slew him� �Gawain�察�Gawain of the court��
Sir Gawainthere he waits below the wall��
Blowing his bugle as who should say him nay。'
And so�察�leave given�察�straight on through open door
Rode Gawain�察�whom she greeted courteously。
'Dead�察�is it so��' she asked。 'Ay�察�ay��' said he��
'And oft in dying cried upon your name。'
'Pity on him��' she answered�察�'a good knight��
But never let me bide one hour at peace。'
'Ay��' thought Gawain�察�'and you be fair enow��
But I to your dead man have given my troth��
That whom ye loathe�察�him will I make you love。'
So those three days�察�aimless about the land��
Lost in a doubt�察�Pelleas wandering
Waited�察�until the third night brought a moon
With promise of large light on woods and ways。
Hot was the night and silent�察�but a sound
Of Gawain ever coming�察�and this lay
Which Pelleas had heard sung before the Queen��
And seen her sadden listeningvext his heart��
And marred his rest'A worm within the rose。'
'A rose�察�but one�察�none other rose had I��
A rose�察�one rose�察�and this was wondrous fair��
One rose�察�a rose that gladdened earth and sky��
One rose�察�my rose�察�that sweetened all mine air
I cared not for the thorns�察�the thorns were there。
'One rose�察�a rose to gather by and by��
One rose�察�a rose�察�to gather and to wear��
No rose but onewhat other rose had I��
One rose�察�my rose�察�a rose that will not die��
He dies who loves it��if the worm be there。'
This tender rhyme�察�and evermore the doubt��
'Why lingers Gawain with his golden news��'
So shook him that he could not rest�察�but rode
Ere midnight to her walls�察�and bound his horse
Hard by the gates。 Wide open were the gates��
And no watch kept�察�and in through these he past��
And heard but his own steps�察�and his own heart
Beating�察�for nothing moved but his own self��
And his own shadow。 Then he crost the court��
And spied not any light in hall or bower��
But saw the postern portal also wide
Yawning�察�and up a slope of garden�察�all
Of roses white and red�察�and brambles mixt
And overgrowing them�察�went on�察�and found��
Here too�察�all hushed below the mellow moon��
Save that one rivulet from a tiny cave
Came lightening downward�察�and so spilt itself
Among the roses�察�and was lost again。
Then was he ware of three pavilions reared
Above the bushes�察�gilden´peakt�此 �in one��
Red after revel�察�droned her lurdane knights
Slumbering�察�and their three squires across their feet��
In one�察�their malice on the placid lip
Frozen by sweet sleep�察�four of her damsels lay��
And in the third�察�the circlet of the jousts
Bound on her brow�察�were Gawain and Ettarre。
Back�察�as a hand that pushes through the leaf
To find a nest and feels a snake�察�he drew��
Back�察�as a coward slinks from what he fears
To cope with�察�or a traitor proven�察�or hound
Beaten�察�did Pelleas in an
