For as certain as I sit here, Sir Gawain you are,
Whom all the world worships, whereso you ride;
Your honor, your courtesy are highest acclaimed
By lord and by ladies, by all all living men. (1226-29)
With command of manners pure
He shall each heart imbue;
Who shares his converse, sure,
Shall learn love's language true. (924-27; cf. 1010-15)
