They have summoned him to head them, and revolt
Against your crown and kingdom.
Arthur
Gawaine, hear!
Gawaine
I hear. But it’s from Launcelot I’ll have
Most bitter satisfaction.
Arthur
Northward now!
Summon my knights about me in the hall.
[ExitMessenger.
Send a strong force on Mordred’s heels to hold
The traitor back. Ourselves will swiftly ride
To take the Queen from Launcelot. Day is come,
And friends are friends and foes are foes at last.
[Exeunt.
