Ghost. Arthur of England!

Arthur. (In his sleep.) Merlin! Ah! Merlin!

Ghost. I come to tell thy doom. To-morrow! Arthur, to-morrow!

Arthur. Away Spirit! Afright me not. Away! Away!

(Ghost vanishes, Arthur starts up.)

Ah, Merlin! did I dream of Merlin? ’Twas but the fancy.

Oh, great Mage, to-night thy portents wander back

Unto my mind, Oh couldst thou see thine Arthur.

To-morrow, said the voice within my dream.
