Remembers only that I wear a crown.

He is as far from me as the night stars.

I cannot touch him, cannot wound him.

Launcelot

Launcelot

Queen,

I love him. Speak not so.

Guenevere

Guenevere

And there is none to love me.

Launcelot

Launcelot

Here am I,

With my sword, with my blood, every last drop

Of blood that’s in my body, and it is yours.

Guenevere

Guenevere

And yet you left me—left me to Mordred’s mercy.

I am afraid of Mordred, Launcelot.
