Caradoc and Guimier are the hero and heroine of the ballad of the “Boy and the Mantle,” which follows:
“The Boy and the Mantle
“In Carlisle dwelt King Arthur,
A prince of passing might,
And there maintained his Table Round,
Beset with many a knight.
“And there he kept his Christmas,
With mirth and princely cheer,
When lo! a strange and cunning boy
Before him did appear.
