Seite 25 - What harm, undone ? Deep harm to disobey, Seeing obedience is the bond of rule. Were it well to obey then, if a king demand An act unprofitable, against himself ? The King is sick, and knows not what he does. What record, or what relic of my lord Should be to aftertime, but empty breath And rumors of a doubt ? But were this kept, Stored in some treasure-house of mighty kings, Some one might show it at a joust of arms, 270 Saying, " King Arthur's sword, Excalibur, Wrought by the lonely maiden of the...
Seite 23 - I row'd across And took it, and have worn it, like a king; And, wheresoever I am sung or told In aftertime, this also shall be known : But now delay not: take Excalibur, And fling him far into the middle mere: Watch what thou see'st, and lightly bring me word.
