ARTHUR'S GRAVE

THE EPITAPH

by

ERNEST RHYS


Some men do say King Arthur is not dead,
    But by the will of our Lord Jesu sleeps,
        Yet to awake, deathless, and reassure us:
And therefore is it, that grave where he is laid
    This legend hath, that still his kingdom keeps:
         Arthurus Rex Quondam, Rexque Futurus.
