Launcelot. Thou goest not, and why?

Arthur. Deem it not strange my Launcelot that I sit

Here thus disconsolate my betrothal morn,

Nor over eager for to play the lover,

And decked in splendor go to meet the queen.

Launcelot thine Arthur hath a sorrow.

Hast seen my son Mordred?

Launcelot. Yea Arthur, I have seen this Mordred.

Yea, mine Arthur, thou hast indeed a sorrow,

And could thy Launcelot but help thee bear it!
