And bind him in thy filmy, silken bonds

A thousand ages.

Merlin. Oh light, thou goest out!

[Sinks again.

Vivien. Come, black Oblivion, from thy shadowy tomb!

[The spirit of oblivion rises as a black smoke.

Shroud him in thy swart and deep embrace

A thousand ages. Bind his senses fast.

Make him all droppings of a foul decay.
