Poem:
Alasdair Gray © 2005 | |
Bold brethren therein, that brawling loved, Through much wild warfare wrought great wrong. More fearfulness befell in these fields Than in any other that I know since that time. But of all that here built, of British kings, Aye was Arthur the courtliest, as I have heard tell. So an earthly adventure I aim to show, An eerie adventure some men have beheld, An outrageous adventure of Arthur’s wonders. If ye listen this lay but one little while, I shall tell it straight as I in town heard, with tongue, As is stated and stocked, In swift tale and strong, With leal letters locked As this land hath known long. |
