Camelot Page #3

I did not know it was you.

The king.

When I was a young Iad

of 18 years of age...

...our good king, Pendragon, died,

Ieaving no one to succeed him...

...but a sword stuck through an anviI

that stood on a stone.

Written on it,

in goId Ietters, it said...

...""Who so puIIeth this sword

from this stone...

...is rightwise born

King of aII EngIand.""

Many chaps tried to

disIodge it, but they faiIed.

So finaIIy, a great tournament was

procIaimed for New Year's Day.

AII the mightiest knights in EngIand

were assembIed at one time to have...

...a go at the sword.

I went to London as squire

to my cousin, Sir Kay.

On tournament day, Sir Kay found

he had Ieft his sword at home...

...and he gave me

a shiIIing to fetch it.

Going through London,

I passed a square and saw a sword...

...rising out of a stone.

Not thinking very cIearIy...

...I thought it was a war memoriaI.

So I decided to borrow it...

...and to save myseIf the trip.

So I...

...took the sword and...

...and I faiIed.

So I tried again.

And I faiIed again.

So, with aII my might,

I cIosed my eyes...

...and I tried...

...one Iast time.

And, Io!

The sword moved in my hand.

And sIowIy...

...it sIid out of the stone.

I heard...

...a great roar.

I opened my eyes.

The square was fuII of peopIe saying:

""...Long Iive the king!

Long Iive...

...the king.""

That's how I became king.

I never knew I wouId be.

I never wanted to be.

And since I am,

I've been iII at ease in my crown.

UntiI I dropped from the tree...

...and my eyes...

...beheId you.

And then, for the first time...

...I feIt Iike a king.

I was gIad to be king.

And most astonishing of aII,

I wanted to be the most heroic...

...the wisest, the most...

...spIendid king ever to sit...

...on any throne.

If My Lady wiII foIIow me...

...I'II find a proper companion...

...to accompany you.

I hear it never rains

TiII after sundown

By eight the morning fog

must disappear

In short, there's simpIy not

A more congeniaI spot

For happiIy-ever-aftering

...than here...

...In CameIot

The map of EngIand.

Map, indeed.

A fishnet of iII-begotten kingdoms

ruIed by immoraI Iords...

...battIing with their own unIawfuI

armies over iIIegaI border Iines.

And who is...

...king of this...

...jungIe?

The man who 4 years ago

pIedged he wouId become...

...the greatest king

who ever sat on any throne.

I...

...Arthur of EngIand.

Yes.

The greatest warrior in the Iand.

For what purpose?

Might...

...doesn't aIways mean right.

What are you saying? To be right

and Iose couIdn't possibIy be right.

MerIyn...

...used to frown on battIes.

Yet he aIways...

...heIped me win them.

Why?
