| Description |
The Three Dead Kings: Part 3 The first king is cringing, his heart overcast, For he recognises the cross on a rotting king’s shroud. His foal flinches and falters, reined in and cursed; His fair falcon falls to his fist. He howls, “Now gladness is gone! I am groaning, aghast At these three grim ghosts” – he blurts it out loud – “For I’ve wandered by woods, and walked in the waste, And never before was so craven and cowed. My mettle is daunted And I quiver with dread. I know, without doubt: If we run, we’re all dead – In spite of our titles, we’re all of us doomed!” Fifteenth century Middle English alliterative poem ‘De Tribus Regibus Mortuis’, attributed to John Audelay, translated by Giles Watson. The picture shows detail from a wall-painting depicting The Three Living and the Three Dead, from Widford Church, near Burford, in the Cotswolds.
