Now shall I leave speaking of this matter till I come again thereto, and will forthwith tell ye how it fared with Morien when the three had parted asunder, as I told ye afore (Sir Gawain, Morien, and Sir Lancelot, he was the third), since they would fain make proof of that which the Hermit had told them.

Who acts: I, matter, Sir, knights · What happens: leave, speak, come, tell, fare, part · To what, where: parted asunder, ye, three, proof, knights, that · Speech: someone speaks here
