Slain by a woman’s scorn, a man’s brutality.

A last good-bye to all my gladder thoughts.

And hail dark vengeance, plots and evil counsels.

Mordred is mis-shapen, then will he breed chaos.

Mordred is monstrous, then will he breed horrors.

Mordred is dark, then will he cast a shadow,

That ne’er shall loose this kingdom’s light again.

[Curtain.
