THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR.
Reliques of English Poetry, iii. 76.
"We have here a short summary of King Arthur's History as given by Jeff. of Monmouth and the old Chronicles, with the addition of a few circumstances from the romance Morte Arthur.—The ancient chronicle of Ger. de Leew (quoted above in p. 40,) seems to have been chiefly followed: upon the authority of which we have restored some of the names which were corrupted in the MS., and have transposed one stanza, which appeared to be misplaced: viz., that beginning at v. 49, which in the MS. followed v. 36.

Of [Brutus'] blood, in Brittaine borne,
King Arthur I am to name;
Through Christendome and Heathynesse
