"Anon after Balin sent for his horse and armour and so would depart from the court and took his leave of King Arthur. Nay said the king I suppose ye will not depart so lightly from this fellowship I suppose ye are displeased that I have shewed you unkindness; blame me the less for I was misinformed against you but I weened ye had not been such a knight as ye are of worship and prowess and if ye will abide in this court among my fellowship I shall so advance you as ye shall be pleased. God thank your highness said Balin your bounty and highness may no man praise half to the value; but at this time I must needs depart beseeching you alway of your good grace. Truly said the king I am right wroth for your departing; I pray you fair knight that ye tarry not long and ye shall be right welcome to me and to my barons and I shall amend all miss that I have done against you; God thank your great lordship said Balin and therewith made him ready to depart."
