"
Nevertheless
,
were
I
as
thou
,
"
said
the
knight
,
"
I
would
take
my
walk
by
moonlight
,
when
foresters
and
keepers
were
warm
in
bed
,
and
ever
and
anon
,
--
as
I
pattered
my
prayers
,
--
I
would
let
fly
a
shaft
among
the
herds
of
dun
deer
that
feed
in
the
glades
--
Resolve
me
,
Holy
Clerk
,
hast
thou
never
practised
such
a
pastime
?
"
"
Friend
Sluggard
,
"
answered
the
hermit
,
"
thou
hast
seen
all
that
can
concern
thee
of
my
housekeeping
,
and
something
more
than
he
deserves
who
takes
up
his
quarters
by
violence
.
Credit
me
,
it
is
better
to
enjoy
the
good
which
God
sends
thee
,
than
to
be
impertinently
curious
how
it
comes
.
Fill
thy
cup
,
and
welcome
;
and
do
not
,
I
pray
thee
,
by
further
impertinent
enquiries
,
put
me
to
show
that
thou
couldst
hardly
have
made
good
thy
lodging
had
I
been
earnest
to
oppose
thee
.
"
"
By
my
faith
,
"
said
the
knight
,
"
thou
makest
me
more
curious
than
ever
!
Thou
art
the
most
mysterious
hermit
I
ever
met
;
and
I
will
know
more
of
thee
ere
we
part
.
As
for
thy
threats
,
know
,
holy
man
,
thou
speakest
to
one
whose
trade
it
is
to
find
out
danger
wherever
it
is
to
be
met
with
.
"
"
Sir
Sluggish
Knight
,
I
drink
to
thee
,
"
said
the
hermit
;
"
respecting
thy
valour
much
,
but
deeming
wondrous
slightly
of
thy
discretion
.
If
thou
wilt
take
equal
arms
with
me
,
I
will
give
thee
,
in
all
friendship
and
brotherly
love
,
such
sufficing
penance
and
complete
absolution
,
that
thou
shalt
not
for
the
next
twelve
months
sin
the
sin
of
excess
of
curiosity
.
"
The
knight
pledged
him
,
and
desired
him
to
name
his
weapons
.
"
There
is
none
,
"
replied
the
hermit
,
"
from
the
scissors
of
Delilah
,
and
the
tenpenny
nail
of
Jael
,
to
the
scimitar
of
Goliath
,
at
which
I
am
not
a
match
for
thee
--
But
,
if
I
am
to
make
the
election
,
what
sayst
thou
,
good
friend
,
to
these
trinkets
?
"
Thus
speaking
,
he
opened
another
hutch
,
and
took
out
from
it
a
couple
of
broadswords
and
bucklers
,
such
as
were
used
by
the
yeomanry
of
the
period
.
The
knight
,
who
watched
his
motions
,
observed
that
this
second
place
of
concealment
was
furnished
with
two
or
three
good
long-bows
,
a
cross-bow
,
a
bundle
of
bolts
for
the
latter
,
and
half-a-dozen
sheaves
of
arrows
for
the
former
.
A
harp
,
and
other
matters
of
a
very
uncanonical
appearance
,
were
also
visible
when
this
dark
recess
was
opened
.
"
I
promise
thee
,
brother
Clerk
,
"
said
he
,
"
I
will
ask
thee
no
more
offensive
questions
.
The
contents
of
that
cupboard
are
an
answer
to
all
my
enquiries
;
and
I
see
a
weapon
there
"
(
here
be
stooped
and
took
out
the
harp
)
"
on
which
I
would
more
gladly
prove
my
skill
with
thee
,
than
at
the
sword
and
buckler
.
"
"
I
hope
,
Sir
Knight
,
"
said
the
hermit
,
"
thou
hast
given
no
good
reason
for
thy
surname
of
the
Sluggard
.
I
do
promise
thee
I
suspect
thee
grievously
.
Nevertheless
,
thou
art
my
guest
,
and
I
will
not
put
thy
manhood
to
the
proof
without
thine
own
free
will
.
Sit
thee
down
,
then
,
and
fill
thy
cup
;
let
us
drink
,
sing
,
and
be
merry
If
thou
knowest
ever
a
good
lay
,
thou
shalt
be
welcome
to
a
nook
of
pasty
at
Copmanhurst
so
long
as
I
serve
the
chapel
of
St
Dunstan
,
which
,
please
God
,
shall
be
till
I
change
my
grey
covering
for
one
of
green
turf
.
But
come
,
fill
a
flagon
,
for
it
will
crave
some
time
to
tune
the
harp
;
and
nought
pitches
the
voice
and
sharpens
the
ear
like
a
cup
of
wine
.
For
my
part
,
I
love
to
feel
the
grape
at
my
very
finger-ends
before
they
make
the
harp-strings
tinkle
.
