In the dull ear of Time so gloriously

The streams of silence take.

Lord Arthur, though all else be cancelled, yet

I keep my oath of fealty; leave me that:

And I shall never fail you, heart or hand,

While breath is in me. Call me in your need,

My sword, my life, are yours.

[Launcelot passes out with his Knights. The King’s followers withdraw aside.

Arthur

Do you not weep to have lost him, Guenevere?
