Sir Gawain and the Green Knight - Drabble Challenge part 1

So, I picked up the gauntlet and accepted hermitknut's challenge to write a series of drabbles based off Simon Armitage's translation of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. This is 1 of 5 that I did for the challenge.

Each drabble was to be based off a four-line rhyme taken from the larger poem This is the first:

not all were stunned and stilled
by dread, but duty-bound
to hold their tongues until
their sovereign could respond.
