Then he prepared to joust. When Morholt saw him coming, he charged, lance lowered, and struck him so hard
that he knocked him down just as he had the others. But Gawain was lucky to this extent, that he was not badly hurt in the fall, and he jumped up again nimbly, took his sword, and prepared to attack the man who had knocked him to the ground, and he said in his heart that Yvain had indeed spoken the truth, for undeniably this was the best knight he had ever seen.
