Read the excerpt from Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory. Then Sir Bedivere departed, and went to the sword, and lightly took it up, and went to the water side; and there he bound the girdle about the hilts, and then he threw the sword as far into the water as he might . . .

Read the excerpt from "Morte d'Arthur” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

Then quickly rose Sir Bedivere, and ran,

And, leaping down the ridges lightly, plunged

Among the bulrush-beds, and clutch’d the sword,

And strongly wheel’d and threw it.

Tennyson’s version portrays Sir Bedivere with more

happiness than Sir Thomas Malory’s version does.
action than Sir Thomas Malory’s version does.
sorrow than Sir Thomas Malory’s version does.
