[Sidenote A:  “I have brought you hither,] [Sidenote B:  ye are not now far from the noted place.] [Sidenote C:  Full perilous is it esteemed.] [Sidenote D:  The lord of that ‘waste’ is stiff and stern.] [Sidenote E:  His body is bigger ‘than the best four in Arthur’s house.’] [Sidenote F:  None passes by the Green Chapel, ’that he does not ding to
  death with dint of his hand.’]
[Sidenote G:  For be it churl or chaplain, monk, mass-priest, ’or any man
  else,’ he kills them all.]
[Sidenote H:  He has lived there full long.] [Sidenote I:  Against his dints sore ye may not defend you.] [Footnote 1:  Hector (?).]

As help me God & þe halydam, & oþe3 in-noghe,
2124 Þat I schal lelly yow layne, & lance neuer tale,
Þat euer 3e fondet to fle, for freke þat I wyst.” 
“Grant merci;” quod Gawayn, & gruchyng he sayde,
“Wel worth þe wy3e, þat wolde3 my gode,
2128 & þat lelly me layne, I leue wel þou wolde3!
[D] Bot helde þou hit neuer so holde, & I here passed,
Founded for ferde for to fle, in fourme þat þou telle3,
I were a kny3t kowarde, I my3t not[1] be excused.

Worþe hit wele, oþer wo, as þe wyrde lyke3

[Sidenote A:  Wherefore, good Sir Gawayne, let this man alone.] [Sidenote B:  Go by some other region,] [Sidenote C:  I swear by God and all His saints, that I will never say that
  ever ye attempted to flee from any man.”]
[Sidenote D:  Gawayne replies that to shun this danger would mark him as a
  “coward knight.”]
[Sidenote E:  To the Chapel, therefore, he will go,] [Sidenote F:  though the owner thereof were a stern knave.] [Sidenote G:  “Full well can God devise his servants for to save.”] [Footnote 1:  mot, in Ms.] [Footnote 2:  & &, in Ms.]
