(Loud knocking heard at the door and the voice of Mordred heard without.)
Come out thou traitor Launcelot and show the world
The face of him who hath dishonored Arthur.
Come out thou Traitor.
Guin. Launcelot save thyself, there is time yet.
Laun. Nay, Love, I’ll end me here, if be my fate.
Ho! Cowards without! I am a single man,
Devoid of armour having but my sword,
Yet will I open and give you Hell’s glad welcome.
(Unbars the door, Sir Agravaine rushes in.)
