Summary

Uriel Waldo Cutler Stories of King Arthur and His Knights… (1904)

Ye should give mercy unto them that ask mercy, for a knight without mercy is without honour."
Sir Gawaine was so astonished at the death of the fair lady that he knew not what he did, and he said unto the knight, "Arise, I will give thee mercy; and go thou unto King Arthur, and tell him how thou art overcome by the knight that went in the quest of the white hart."
"I care not for mercy now," said the knight, "for thou hast slain my lady that I loved best of all earthly things it matters not whether I live or die."
