Step-by-step explanation:

The use of old English expressions like "ye" is worthy of note, which likely indicates a setting in the past such as the days of Shakespeare.

The text also seems a conversation between one character whose name wasn't mentioned, with another (Gwaine). Gwaine appears to have betrayed the other character in an unmentioned way, which cannot be amended by the court. There is also a possibility that the other character has also wrong Gawaine, we make this assertion because he said, "but ye will never be sorry for me as I am for you.”
