Heard you, Gawain
"Sir, I find it somewhat strange, since you indeed are Gawain, A man always genuinely geared doing the good, that you don't pursue the practices of polite society; If somebody teaches you something, you seem to toss it away; Certainly you've already let slide my lesson of yesterday." (Lines 1481-1485)
