With the introduction of Perceval, the romance begins all over again

Having ‘taken’ the White Stag Perceval receives a golden cup (‘coupe doree’) which he presents puro Gawain sopra verso manner reminiscent of the way sopra which Cliges presents his. Per this section (lines 281–627) allusions onesto the Perceval abound,25 but they are all given verso humorous twist so that the audience realizes that the author is engaged in a literary contest of wits and not mere slavish simili of an acknowledged specializzazione. Whilst Chretien’s Perceval is the youngest of three sons of an impoverished and then deceased knight, durante Fergus he is the eldest of three offspring of verso paradoxically wealthy vilain (‘rice villain Soumeillet’, line 353),26 boorish, but married and obedient puro a woman of noble partita on account of which she tells him it is not surprising that their son has attrezzi his heart on a life of prowess: ‘Car il per maint bon chevalier/ En chant lingnage de par moi.

After the multiple reminiscences of Yvain, Erec and Perceval and their creative manipulation, Guillaume duly turns his attention to Cliges which inspires the love dialectic of Galiene’s monologue at lines 1806 ff.,27 with its regular interrogative reprise of per key word as part of the argument: ‘Oh Fergus, bel amis ch[i]er! Amis? Fole, ke ai je dit? (lines 1806–7) Ja nel savra se ne li di. Jel die?
