She returned with the Prince to the court of King Arthur, where they
were received with welcome; and the valiant Jack was made one of the
Knights of the Round Table.

PART THE THIRD.


[Illustration: He is accourted by Ladies. _Initial_]

Jack resolved not to live in idleness for the future, but to do what
services he could for the honour of the king and the nation. He
therefore humbly besought King Arthur to furnish him with a horse and
money, that he might travel in search of new and strange exploits.
"For," said he to the King, "there are many Giants yet among the
mountains of Wales, and they oppress the people: therefore, if it
please you, Sire, to favour my designs, I will soon rid your kingdom
of these Giants and monsters."

When the King heard this offer, and thought of the cruel deeds of
these bloodthirsty Giants and savage monsters, he gave Jack every
thing proper for such a journey.
