To arms! to arms! Red battle is my mood.

Mordred. Yea, battle!

Gwaine. Yea, blood, for blood! my brothers’ spirits call.

Arthur. My heart awakens! Mordred, as my regent,

I leave thee filial keeper of my crown,

My queen and kingdom, while I wed with war,

And bring as issue, yon foul Launcelot’s doom.

Make my forces ready. France! is the word.

All. (Draw swords and shout.) Yea, battle!
