And give us grace to guide and govern us here

In this wretched world through virtuous living,

That we may go to his court, the kingdom of heaven

And I shall tell you a tale that true is and noble

Of the real royal men of the Round Table

That chief were of chivalry and chieftains noble

Both wary in their works and wise men of arms,

Skilled in their doings and dreaded always shame,

Kind men and courteous and couth of court manners,

How they won in war worshipped by many,

Slew Lucius the Wicked that lord was of Rome,

And conquered that kingdom through crafts of arms;

Listen now here and hear this story!

When that the king Arthur by conquest had won

Castles and kingdoms and countries many,

And he had recovered the crown of that country rich

Of all that Uther in earth owned in his time.
