[Sidenote: Arthur's evil dreams.]
Comment le roy artus so{n}gea plusieurs songes, et apres manda tous les sages clercz de son royaulme pour en scauoir la signifiance.
[Sidenote: King Arthur being at Cardueil, his knights are annoyed at meeting with no adventures.]
++OR dit le compte que le roy artus auoit longueme{n}t seiourne a cardueil. Et pource ny auenoit mie gra{nde}ment de aduentures, il ennuya mo{u}lt aux compaignons du Roy de ce q{u}ilz auoient si longuement seiourne, & ne veoient riens de ce quilz souloyent veoir.
Princ.i.p.allement keu le seneschal en fut trop ennuye Et en parloit moult souuent, et disoyt deua{n}t le roy que trop estoit ce seio{ur} ennuyeulx, & trop auoit dure.
[Sidenote: Sir Kay counsels that they should go to Camelot.]
Le roy luy demande "Keu q{ue} vouldriez vous que no{us} feissons?"
"Certes," fait keu, "ie conseilleroye que nous allissions a kamalot car la cite est plus aduantureuse q{ue} vous ayez et la nous verrions souuent et orrions choses de merueilles que nous ne voyons pas icy. Nous auons seiourne ia icy plus de deux moys, et oncques ne y veismes gueres de choses aduenir."
[Sidenote: The king consents to go;]
"Or alons donc," fait le roy, "a Kamalot, puis que vous le co{n}seillez."
[Sidenote: but the same night dreams that all his hair falls off, which delays him.]
Lendemain deust partir le roy mais la nuyct luy aduint vne merueilleuse aduenture. Il songa q{ue} tous les cheueulx de sa teste cheoie{n}t, et to{us} les poilz de sa barbe, dont il fut moult espouente. Et p{ar} ce demoura encores en la ville.

La tierce nuyt apres il songa q{ue} il luy estoit aduis q{ue} tous les dois luy cheoie{n}t fors les poulces, & lors fut pl{us} esbahy que deuant.
[Sidenote: Again, that all his toes fall off except his great toes.]
++A Lautre nuyct songea il q{ue} to{us} les ortelz des piedz luy cheoient fors les poulces. de ce fut si trouble que plus ne peult.
[Sidenote: The Queen and his chaplain disregard the dreams;]
"Sire," fait son chappelain a q{u}i il lauoit dit, "ne vous chaille car songes ne so{n}t pas a croire;" le roy le dit a la royne, et elle respo{n}d tout ainsi q{ue} luy auoit fait so{n} chappelain.
[Sidenote: but Arthur sends for his bishops, archbishops, and their wisest clerks;]
"En verite," dist il, "ie ne laisseray pas la chose ainsi" il fait mander ses euesques et archeuesques q{u}ilz soie{n}t a luy au .ix iour ensuyuant a kamalot, & q{u}ilz amainent auec eulx tous les plus sages clercz quils po{u}rroient auoir et trouuer.
[Sidenote: whom he imprisons till they shall tell him what the dreams mean.]
A tant se part de cardueil & sen va par les chasteaulx et par les citez tant q{ue} au neufniesme iour est venu a kamalot, et aussi sont venus les clercz du pays. Il leur demande co{n}seil de son songe, _et_ ilz elise{n}t dix des plus sages: le roy les fist bien enserrer, et dist que iamais nen sortiroient de priso{n} deuant quilz luy auroient dit la signifiance de son songe.
[Sidenote: After trying for nine days, they fail.]
Ilz esprouuerent la force de le{u}r scie{n}ce par neuf iours, et puis vindre{n}t au roy, & dirent quilz nauoient riens trouue.
"Ai{n}si maist dieu," dit le roy, "ia ainsi neschapperez."
[Sidenote: They twice obtain a delay of three days.]
Et ils demande{n}t respit iusques au troisiesme iour ensuyuant, et il leur donne. Les .iii iours pa.s.sez, ilz reuiennent deuant le roy, et dient que ilz ne peuent riens trouuer et dema{n}dent encores autre delay et ilz ont. Et de rechief vindrent pour demander aultres troys iours de dilacion, ainsi que le roy auoit so{n}ge de tierce nuyt en tierce nuyt. "Or sachez," fait le roy, "q{ue} iamais plus nen aurez."
