1. Chapter 1: When siege and assault had ceased… - 1:47
2. This fair Britain, founded by that famous knight… - 0:52
3. The king lay at Camelot one Christmas tide… - 1:08
4. With New Year not yet a day old… - 1:16
5. Now, Arthur would not eat until all were served… - 0:58
6. So he stands, the stern young king… - 1:06
7. I’ll say nothing more about the meal… - 1:12
8. Green, were both the garments and the grinning man… - 1:31
9. Garbed in green was the gallant rider… - 1:27
10. And yet he had no helm or hauberk either… - 1:38
11. Stunned, the court stared… - 1:00
12. From the dais Arthur watched… - 1:34
13. ‘Fight? Have no worry.’ - 1:28
14. If he astonished them first… - 1:21
15. ‘By heaven,’ said Arthur… - 0:53
16. ‘Grant me grace,’ said Gawain… - 1:06
17. The king commanded the courtly knight to stand. - 1:12
18. ‘By God,’ said the Green Knight… - 1:24
19. The Green Knight stood… - 1:30
20. For he held the head up high in both his hands… - 1:29
21. And yet high-born Arthur was heavy at heart… - 1:25
22. Chapter 2: Arthur was granted his gift of adventure… - 1:29
23. So comes the summer season… - 1:10
24. Yet he lingers till All Hallows… - 1:26
25. He dwelt there that day… - 1:09
26. Hasped in his armour… - 1:26
27. Last they showed him his bright shield… - 1:12
28. First he was found faultless… - 1:35
29. He struck his steed with his spurs… - 1:07
30. Gallant Sir Gawain then in God’s name rode out… - 1:04
31. Forsaken he rode far distant from his friends… - 1:28
32. More merry in the morning… - 1:13
33. Scarcely three times had he signed the holy cross… - 1:10
34. So he stayed his steed… - 1:05
35. ‘Sir,’ said Gawain… - 1:31
36. Gawain gazed at the good man… - 1:38
37. A chair by the chimney hearth… - 1:14
38. Then enquiries came, but questions carefully put… - 1:21
39. The Knight, done with his dining… - 2:23
40. When Gawain gazed upon that gracious lady… - 1:15
41. On that morning when men remember the birth of our dear lord… - 1:16
42. That day they made much merriment… - 1:19
43. With courteous questions he asked Gawain… - 1:44
44. Gladness filled Gawain then… - 1:20
45. ‘Oh, one thing more’ the master said… - 1:21

44. Gawain called out then, loud and clear… - 1:28
45. ‘Gawain,’ said the Green Knight then… - 1:13
46. The gallant in green prepared himself… - 1:27
47. ‘So have at it, by your faith…’ - 1:22
