From Arthur by Laurence Binyon

male · dramatic · 57 sec

Father, have you ever thought Perhaps our guest, this knight my sister found Pierced by an arrow among the forest leaves, Who will not tell his name, might be none other Than Launcelot himself? (SIR BERNARD: What starts your thought upon so wild a fancy?) It is three months ago, the herald says, Sir Launcelot disappeared. Three months ago This knight was wounded and brought hither. Then, Another thing--but now I took him news Of the King’s victory; he was greatly stirred; But when I spoke of this new head of trouble Reared in the West, he started up and cried, “I must be gone: the King has need of me!”
