Then Sir Lancelot took his sword in his

hand and stole to the place where he had

spied a ladder beforehand, and he took

under his arm, and carried it through the

garden and set it up to the window. And soon

the queen was ready to meet him...

"I wish", said the queen,

" I wish as much as

you that you might come in to me."

"Do you wish, madam," said Sir Lancelot,

"with your heart that I were with you?"

"Yes, truly, said the queen.

"Then I shall prove my mignt," said Sir Lancelot,

"for your love".

And then he laid his hands on the bars of iron

and pulled at them with such might that he

ripped them right out of the stone walls. And

one of the bars of iron cut through the flesh of

his hands to the bone. And then he leaped

into the chamber to the queen.
