The king, he stands on tower so high, And by bim standeth Sir Gawain, When Lancelot they saw with eye Were never men on mold so fain ! Whenas the gates he drew anigh They ran there-out, with might and main, 250 Gave welcome glad, both low and high, And kissed him, king, and knight, and swain. The king him to a chamber led, Close in his ar...ms he did him fold, And set him on a goodly bed That covered was with cloth of gold.
