than an hundred. When Sir Tristram saw the people
draw unto him, he remembered he was naked, and sperd fast the chapel
door, and brake the bars of a window, and so he leapt out and fell upon
the crags in the sea. And so at that time Sir Andred nor none of his
fellows might get to him, at that time.

CHAPTER XXXV. How Sir Tristram was holpen by his men, and of Queen Isoud
which was put in a lazar-cote, and how Tristram was hurt.

SO when they were departed, Gouvernail, and Sir Lambegus, and Sir
Sentraille de Lushon, that were Sir Tristram's men, sought their master.
When they heard he was escaped then they were passing glad; and on the
rocks they found him, and with towels they pulled him up. And then Sir
Tristram asked them where was La Beale Isoud, for he weened she had
been had away of Andred's people. Sir, said Gouvernail, she is put in a
lazar-cote. Alas, said Sir Tristram, this is a full ungoodly place for
such a fair lady, and if I may she shall not be long there. And so he
took his men and went thereas was La Beale Isoud, and fetched her away,
and brought her into a forest to a fair manor, and Sir Tristram there
abode with her. So the good knight bade his men go from him: For at this
time I may not help you. So they departed all save Gouvernail. And so
upon a day Sir Tristram yede into the forest for to disport him, and
then it happened that there he fell sleep; and there came a man that Sir
Tristram aforehand had slain his brother, and when this man had found
him he shot him through the shoulder with an arrow, and Sir Tristram
leapt up and killed that man. And in the meantime it was told King Mark
how Sir Tristram and La Beale Isoud were in that same manor, and as soon
as ever he might thither he came with many knights to slay Sir Tristram.
And when he came there he found him gone; and there he took La Beale
Isoud home with him, and kept her strait that by no means never she
might wit nor send unto Tristram, nor he unto her. And then when Sir
Tristram came toward the old manor he found the track of many horses,
and thereby he wist his lady was gone. And then Sir Tristram took great
sorrow, and endured with great pain long time, for the arrow that he was
hurt withal was envenomed.

Then by the mean of La Beale Isoud she told a lady that was cousin unto
Dame Bragwaine, and she came to Sir Tristram, and told him that he might
not be whole by no means. For thy lady, La Beale Isoud, may not help
thee, therefore
