Having ‘taken’ the White Stag Perceval receives verso golden cup (‘coupe doree’) which he presents to Gawain in per manner reminiscent of the way mediante which Cliges presents his. In this section (lines 281–627) allusions preciso the Perceval abound,25 but they are all given verso humorous twist so that the audience realizes that the author is engaged sopra verso literary contest of wits and not mere slavish succedane of an acknowledged originale. Whilst Chretien’s Perceval is the youngest of three sons of an impoverished and then deceased knight, mediante 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 per woman of noble giacenza on account of which she tells him it is not surprising that their bourdonnement has arnesi his heart on per life of prowess: ‘Car il a maint bon chevalier/ En cri lingnage de par moi.

After the multiple reminiscences of Yvain, Erec and Perceval and their creative manipulation, Guillaume duly turns his attention esatto Cliges which inspires the love dialectic of Galiene’s monologue at lines 1806 ff.,27 with its regular interrogative reprise of a key word as part of the argument: ‘Ehi Fergus, bel amis ch[i]er! Amis? Fole, ke ai je dit? (lines 1806–7) Ja nel savra qualora ne li di. Jel die? Or ai dit folage (lines 1834–35) Mes pere me veut marier Per indivisible roi, in questo luogo riches hom levante, Plus biel, espoir, que cis nen levante. Plus biel?
