Arthur. Yea, well say Father! Parent I this ill

That hath enrent my kingdom all in twain.

In that dread night of my licentious youth,

When I in darkness thy foul shape begot,

I worked a web of blackness round my fate,

And thine, distorted phantom of my sin,

Not all the tolling of sweet abbey-bells

And murmur of masses sung these thousand years,

Can sweep from this doomed kingdom. Father, yea,

There is no truce betwixt us. Thou art Death
