Thus Sir Launcelot and his eight fellows went on foot from Almesbury unto Glastonbury. And when they were come to the chapel and the hermitage, there she had a dirige, with great devotion. And on the morn the hermit that sometime was Bishop of Canterbury sang the mass of Requiem with great devotion. And Sir Launcelot was the first that offered, and then also his eight fellows.
Well is the king all right? Did he get well?" "Poor soul, no. He is dead." I was utterly stunned; it had not seemed to me that any wound could be mortal to him. "And the queen, Clarence?" "She is a nun, in Almesbury." "What changes! and in such a short while. It is inconceivable. What next, I wonder?" "I can tell you what next." "Well?" "Stake our lives and stand by them!"

"And when she came to Almesbury she spake There to the nuns, and said, 'Mine enemies Pursue me, but, O peaceful Sisterhood, Receive, and yield me sanctuary, nor ask Her name to whom ye yield it, till her time To tell you; and her beauty, grace and power Wrought as a charm upon them, and they spared To ask it." Guinevere. Now turn we from her, and speak of Sir Launcelot of the Lake.
Immediately, with all haste, they set forth towards Almesbury and, arriving there the second day, found the Queen dead, as had been foretold in the vision. So with the state and ceremony befitting a great Queen, they buried her in the Abbey of Glastonbury, in that same church where, some say, King Arthur's tomb is to be found.
I can see her graceful movement of the head as she waved her adieux; I can see the poet's dusky figure standing by her side, and that is all. Sometimes she lives confusedly to the world of imagination as the Abbess at Almesbury; and sometimes, as one who knew her has said, she was like the first of the three queens, "the tallest of them all, and fairest," who bore away the body of Arthur.
