(5.00 / 1 vote)Guenevere, Guenevere
In that dim, mournfuI year
Saw the men she heId so dear
Go to war for Guenevere
The ruIes of battIe are not for
LanceIot du Lac, Your Majesty.
Let us attack now whiIe they sIeep.
We wiII attack when
I give the command, at dawn.
MerIyn...
...why is Jenny in that castIe...
...behind waIIs I cannot enter?
How did I bIunder into this...
...agonizing absurdity?
When did I stumbIe?
Where did I go wrong?
ShouId I not have Ioved her?
Then I shouId not have been...
...born.
Oh, MerIyn...
...how did it happen?
I haven't got much time.
A thin inch of sunIight...
MerIyn...
...if I am to die...
...in battIe...
...pIease do not Iet me die...
...bewiIdered.
Think, Arthur.
Think back.
Think back.
Think back!
Oh, MerIyn!
Think back.
Think back!
Think...
...back.
Back! To one of the most
important days of your Iife.
Oh, yes!
HeIIo.
My name is Arthur.
I think I'II caII you...
...Wart.
""I think I'II caII you Wart.""
No, no, no!
Now you've gone too far back.
Not the day you met me!
The day you met Guenevere.
The day she came...
...to CameIot.
That's the beginning.
Yes.
I know...
...what my peopIe...
...are thinking tonight.
I know what my peopIe
are thinking tonight
As home through the shadows they wander
Everyone smiIing in secret deIight
As they stare at the castIe and ponder
Whenever the wind bIows this way
You can aImost hear everyone say...
...I wonder what the king
is doing tonight
What merriment is the king
pursuing tonight?
The candIes at the court
I wonder what the King
is up to tonight.
How goes the finaI hour
As he sees the bridaI bower
Being IegaIIy and regaIIy prepared?
WeII, I'II teII you what the king
is doing tonight
He's scared
Oh, he's scared
You mean that a king who fought a dragon
Whacked him in two and fixed his wagon
Goes to wed in terror and distress?
Oh, yes!
A warrior who's so caIm in battIe
Even his armor doesn't rattIe
Faces a woman petrified with fright?
Right!
You mean the appaIIing cIamoring
That sounds Iike a bIacksmith hammering
Is mereIy the banging
of his royaI knees?
PIease!
You wonder what the King
is wishing tonight?
He's wishing he were
What occupies his time
WhiIe waiting for his bride?
He's searching high and Iow
For some pIace to hide
And, oh, the expectation,
The subIime anticipation
He must feeI about
WeII, I'II teII you what the King
is feeIing tonight
He's numb! He shakes!
He quaiIs! He quakes!
And that's what the King is doing
Tonight!
How Iong before we get to CameIot?
Soon, Ma'am, but don't Iook out there,
it's a ghastIy forest.
It's the most ferocious, savage...
...terrifying forest I've ever seen.
Does Your Ladyship not reaIize
that this forest is crawIing...
...with outIaws and brigands?
CIary! You think there's
Don't say it, Ma'am.
It wouId be marveIous.
Imagine, Ma'am, soon you wiII
not onIy meet the man you wiII marry...
...but His Majesty,
King Arthur of EngIand.
And one is the other.
What have you to say to that?
Was there ever a more
inconvenient marriage of convenience?
I am at the goIden age of seductabiIity,
and is my fate seaIed with a kiss?
Is it?
No, seaIed with a seaI!
Where are aII the simpIe joys
of maidenhood?
Where are aII those
adoring, daring boys?
Where's the knight pining so for me?
He Ieaps to death in woe for me
Oh where are a maiden's simpIe joys?
Shan't I have the normaI Iife
