An Epigram

An Arthurian Miscellany
Merlin, the great King Arthur being slaine,

Foretould that he should come to life againe,

And long time after weild great Brittaines state

More powerfull ten-fould, and more fortunate.

Prophet, 'tis true, and well we find the same,

Save onely that thou didst mistake the name.
