Poet Analysis

First Line: MERLIN, THE GREAT KING ARTHUR BEING SLAIN
Last Line: SAVE ONLY THAT THOU DIDST MISTAKE THE NAME.

@3MERLIN, the great King Arthur being slain,
Foretold that he should come to life again,
And long time after wield great Britain's state
More powerful ten-fold, and more fortunate.
Prophet, 'tis true, and well we find the same,
Save only that thou didst mistake the name.@1
