95. Arthur. 516.

OF the nine Worthies was this Worthy one,
Denmarke, and Norway, did obey his Throne:
In twelue set Battels he the Saxons beat,
Great, and to make his Victories more great,
The Faithlesse Sarazens he ouercame,
And made them honour high Ichonah's Name,
The Noble order of the Table round,
At Winchester, his first inuention found.
Whilst he beyond Sea fought to win Renowne,
His Nephew Mordred did vsurpe his Crowne,
But he return'd, and Mordred did confound,
And in the fight great Arthur got a wound,
That prou'd so mortall, that immortally
It made him liue, although it made him dye.
Full sixteene yeeres the Diadem he wore,
And euery day gaind Honour more and more.
Arthur the great was buried at Glastenbury.
