Then spoke King Arthur, drawing thicker breath : * Now see I by thine eyes that this is done. Speak out : what is it thou hast heard, or seen ? ' And answer made the bold Sir Bedivere : * Sir King, I closed mine eyelids, lest the gems Should blind my purpose, for I never saw, Nor shall see, here or elsewhere, till I die. Not tho' I live three lives of mortal men, So great a miracle as yonder hilt. Then with both hands I flung him, wheeling him ; But when I look'd again, behold an arm. Clothed i...n white samite, mystic, wonderful. That caught him by the hilt, and brandished him Three times, and drew him under in the mere.' And answer made King Arthur, breathing hard : * My end draws nigh ; 't is time that I were gone. Make broad thy shoulders to receive my weight, And bear me to the margin ; yet I fear My wound hath taken cold, and I shall die.' So saying, from the pavement he half rose. Slowly, with pain, reclining on his arm. And looking wistfully with wide blue eyes THE PASSING OF ARTHUR.
