King Arthur and his Knights by Thomas Bulfinch

Sir Bohort

When Sir Bohort departed from Camelot he met with a religious man, riding upon an ass; and Sir Bohort saluted him. "What are ye? " said the good man. "Sir," said Sir Bohort, "I am a knight that fain would be counselled in the quest of the Sangreal. " So rode they both together till they came to a hermitage; and there he prayed Sir Bohort to dwell that night with him. So he alighted, and put away his armor, and prayed him that he might be confessed. And they went both into the chapel, and there he was clean confessed. And they ate bread and drank water together. "Now," said the good man, "I pray thee that thou eat none other till thou sit at the table where the Sangreal shall be. " "Sir," said Sir Bohort, "but how know ye that I shall sit there? " "Yea," said the good man, "that I know well; but there shall be few of your fellows with you. " Then said Sir Bohort, "I agree me thereto. " And the good man when he had heard his confession found him in so pure a life and so stable that he marvelled thereof.
