GOOD KING ARTHUR.
-When good King Arthur ruled the land
He soxS goodiy king.


he sosS goodty king.
A yeoman left his granary door aside
When good King Arthur rode to Camelot-
And with the king no knight nor squire did ride,
And no man was there in the sunlit spot,
And sound of reapers sickle was there not,
Nor any song of geaner-half rood
From the gray road the well-iled storehouse stood
Before he spurred toward Camelot again,
He left his horse, and from the granary stead
lie took measure of the barley grain,
And set it on his saddle-cloth of red;
And so anew upon his way he sped,
The merry kng-and all the sky was gray
With gathering rain clouds as he went his way.
OF good green samite the surcoat he wore,
And wrought with golden dragons thereupon,
And crimson cloth his tall white palfrey bore,
And bright the sword that many a joust had won
In tourney field at Usk and Caerleon-
And so he rode, It'll day was overpast
And he was come to Camelot at last
In the wide door to meet him, Guinevere
Stood smiling, and before her queenly feet
The king set down his barley, and to her
He spoke: $50 hasten to prepare, o sweet
A feast whereof the Table Round shall eat;
With plums and spices make bag-pudding,
So great-one meal may not consul ne the thing"
And so the Table Round was Toasted well,
And what was left the queen next morning fried.
How shall singer of this late day tell
This olden tale of merry harvest-tide,
OF careful Guinevere, and Arthurs ride
A legend, that within closter dusk
read, in Arthur's good old town of Usk!
