Let them kill me, so that they let you go.

Launcelot

Heaven defend me from such shame as that.

No, I’ll sell life as dearly as I may,

But I would sooner have my armour on me

And a sword within my hand than all the crowns

Of Christendom. Then, then would I have done

Some deeds that men might tell of.

(Mordred and his men have brought a bench and begin to batter at the door.)
