' il D L' 5 N II Song to be sung by Gareth during the period of his kitchen uassalage. Ay, a kitchen knave am Ile While making brewis for the king A merry song I sing. I hew the wood, Turn the broach And eye the kettle on the fire, Talk of knighthood and our king: A merry, merry song I sing. Ay, a kitchen knave am I! In my own mind a knight am I: Though for a loved one's sake A kitchen knave I seem, Smelling of kitchen grease: And spending time in a place That does not suit my pace. But in some future day My merry song Will say: No longer a kitchen knave am I, But a knight, a knight am II CAROLYN PAY H441

5 X III Song to be sung by A gleam of light, a vessel guled beholdg The cup of Christ with holy emblem scrolled, The cup of Christ more precious, yea, than gold, My guide and guidance to innnity. To cleanse my soul and reach the holy height, And onward, upward, to the blinding light,- And onward, upward, till I have in sight The Holy Grail-the sign of purity: So, go I forth upon this knightly quest. And till I find it never take I rest: And till I find it never cease the test, But ever strive this miracle to see! SELENE 51451 Perciuale who sought the Holy Grail. REINER
