With four good legs and strength of limbs and back,

A pattern to his species, than be thus

A blot on all the beauty of his kind.

Vivien, I would that I were shelved in earth.

Vivien. Doubtest thou my love?

Mordred. Thou art a strange and subtle human mixture

Of cleverness and charm and swift deceit,

And yet I like thee, though thou voicest me

Upon the evil longings of my nature.

What canst thou love in me?
