And show abroad the love that ’twixt us lies.
Till men will say: “So much of love there lies
Betwixt King Arthur and great Launcelot,
That when the king stayed ill at Camelot
He sent forth Launcelot to fetch the Queen.”
And what more fitting messenger to send
Than thee in all thy strong and splendid youth,
The flower and sun of all my chivalry,
Launcelot the young and pure-in-heart.
Thou wilt do this and crown thy love for me.
