But Arthur's good humour was quickly restored,
When to lion-heart Richard a bumper he poured
Whose pilgrim's array told the tale of his toils,
Half-veiling his arms and his Saracen spoils;
As he sliced up the venison of merry Sherwood,
He told a long story of bold Robin Hood,
Which gave good King Arthur such hearty delight,
That he vow'd he'd make Robin a round-table knight.
