¶ Howe Galaad and the knightes of the rounde table made theyr auowes to seke the saynt Graal, some tyll their found it, and some for a yere.
BVt on ye morowe Galaad & other knightes,Afore the kynge by one assent compered,Where Galaad made his auowes & hightes,Neuer [to lye,] [for tobe.] but he were presoned,[In one place, in no maner of grounde,] [Or els so seke that he myght not iourneid.]Two nightes together, no where tyll he it see,Besought the kyng his knight that he might bee.
¶ The kyng hym made a knight of ye table roūd,And armes wolde haue geue [hī,] but he wold none,Afore [that] he gatte theim in [a stronge] [ane straunge.] grounde,By auenture, or els vpon his foone,And tooke his leaue to passe so forth anone;The knightes all then of the rounde table,Graunt hym seruice a yere then perdurable.
