you would not love me. You could not love me,

and therefore I can endure no longer. I was

called the Fair Maid of Astolat, and yet I was not

loved. So I make my lament to all fair ladies,

and to the Queen Guenevere. Sir Launcelot,

since you would not come to me, now come I to

you. Bury this my body that is dead for love of

you. This is the last thing that I ask of you

who would not love me. And, Sir Launcelot, as

you are a knight peerless, pray for my soul.”
