Quoth Bedivere:

“Thank God this voice remaineth unto us;

Now I do mind me of a prophecy

Spoken long since in some emblazoned year,

How Arthur should escape mortality

And lie beneath the hills, in cavern deep

Or on some shore, where faery seas do break:

Around him all his warriors shall sleep,

Who at a great bell’s sounding shall awake

What time th’ old enemy spreads death and harm
