At peace with God and with their fellow-men

Attested minds at ease and hearts at play,

Explanation:

A Green knight came to challenge anyone in King Arthur's court for a Christmas game and Sir Gawain volunteered. In contrast to the violent nature of the whole story and the poem, the above lines from Canto I: The Green Knight of the poem depicts a serene and happy setting of the court.
