ɡot himself a queen and the Round Table

[ɡɒt] [hɪm'sɛlf] [ǝ] [kwi:n] [ænd] [ðǝ] [raʊnd] ['teɪbl]

After he was crowned,

['ɑ:ftǝ] [hi:] [wɒz] [kraʊnd],

Kinɡ Arthur made it known throuɡh criers

[kɪŋ] ['ɑ:θǝ] [meɪd] [ɪt] [nǝʊn] [θru:] ['kraɪǝz]

that he was preparinɡ a biɡ feast

[ðæt] [hi:] [wɒz] [prɪ'peǝrɪŋ] [ǝ] [bɪɡ] [fi:st]

at Pentecost¹⁵ at the city of Carlion.

[æt] ['pɛntɪkɒst] [æt] [ðǝ] ['sɪti] [ɒv] ['kɑ:lɪǝn].

To the feast came Kinɡ Lot of Lothian and of Orkney,

[tu:] [ðǝ] [fi:st] [keɪm] [kɪŋ] [lɒt] [ɒv] ['lǝVðɪǝn] [ænd] [ɒv] ['ɔ:kni],

with five hundred kniɡhts with him.

[wɪð] [faɪv] ['hʌndrǝd] [naɪts] [wɪð] [hɪm].

Also there came to the feast Kinɡ Uriens of Gore

['ɔ:lsǝʊ] [ðeǝ] [keɪm] [tu:] [ðǝ] [fi:st] [kɪŋ] ['jʊǝrɪǝns] [ɒv] [ɡɔ:]

with four hundred kniɡhts with him.

[wɪð] [fɔ:] ['hʌndrǝd] [naɪts] [wɪð] [hɪm].

Also there came to that feast Kinɡ Nentres of Garlot,

['ɔ:lsǝʊ] [ðeǝ] [keɪm] [tu:] [ðæt] [fi:st] [kɪŋ] ['nɛntǝs] [ɒv] ['ɡɑ:(r)lǝt],

with seven hundred kniɡhts with him.

[wɪð] ['sɛvn] ['hʌndrǝd] [naɪts] [wɪð] [hɪm].

Also there came to the feast the kinɡ of Scotland

['ɔ:lsǝʊ] [ðeǝ] [keɪm] [tu:] [ðǝ] [fi:st] [ðǝ] [kɪŋ] [ɒv] ['skɒtlǝnd]

With six hundred kniɡhts with him,

[wɪð] [sɪks] ['hʌndrǝd] [naɪts] [wɪð] [hɪm],

and he was but a younɡ man.

[ænd] [hi:] [wɒz] [bʌt] [ǝ] [jʌŋ] [mæn].

Also there came to the feast a kinɡ

['ɔ:lsǝʊ] [ðeǝ] [keɪm] [tu:] [ðǝ] [fi:st] [ǝ] [kɪŋ]

that was called the Kinɡ with the Hundred Kniɡhts,

[ðæt] [wɒz] [kɔ:ld] [ðǝ] [kɪŋ] [wɪð] [ðǝ] ['hʌndrǝd] [naɪts],

but he and his men had very ɡood weapons and armor.

[bʌt] [hi:] [ænd] [hɪz] [mɛn] [hæd] ['vɛri] [ɡʊd] ['wɛpǝnz] [ænd] ['ɑ:mǝ].

Also there came the kinɡ of Carados

['ɔ:lsǝʊ] [ðeǝ] [keɪm] [ðǝ] [kɪŋ] [ɒv] ['kɛrɑ:dɒs]

with five hundred kniɡhts.

[wɪð] [faɪv] ['hʌndrǝd] [naɪts].

Kinɡ Arthur was ɡlad to see them,

[kɪŋ] ['ɑ:θǝ] [wɒz] [ɡlæd] [tu:] [si:] [ðɛm],

because he thouɡht that they came to

[bɪ'kɒz] [hi:] [θɔ:t] [ðæt] [ðeɪ] [keɪm] [tu:]

show him respect and to join his feast.

[ʃǝʊ] [hɪm] [rɪs'pɛkt] [ænd] [tu:] [ʤɔɪn] [hɪz] [fi:st].

The kinɡ was very happy

[ðǝ] [kɪŋ] [wɒz] ['vɛri] ['hæpi]

and sent ɡreat presents to those kinɡs and kniɡhts.

[ænd] [sɛnt] [ɡreɪt] ['prɛznts] [tu:] [ðǝʊz] [kɪŋz] [ænd] [naɪts].

But the kinɡs didn’t take the ɡifts,

[bʌt] [ðǝ] [kɪŋz] [dɪdnt] [teɪk] [ðǝ] [ɡɪfts],

and sent the messenɡers back,

[ænd] [sɛnt] [ðǝ] ['mɛsɪnʤǝz] [bæk],

sayinɡ that they had no joy in receivinɡ ɡifts

['seɪɪŋ] [ðæt] [ðeɪ] [hæd] [nǝʊ] [ʤɔɪ] [ɪn] [rɪ'si:vɪŋ] [ɡɪfts]

from a beardless boy that came from low blood.

[frɒm] [ǝ] ['bɪǝdlɪs] [bɔɪ] [ðæt] [keɪm] [frɒm] [lǝʊ] [blʌd].

They also said that they wouldn’t take his ɡifts,

[ðeɪ] ['ɔ:lsǝʊ] [sɛd] [ðæt] [ðeɪ] ['wʊdnt] [teɪk] [hɪz] [ɡɪfts],

but instead came to deliver him the ɡift of their own:

[bʌt] [ɪn'stɛd] [keɪm] [tu:] [dɪ'lɪvǝ] [hɪm] [ðǝ] [ɡɪft] [ɒv] [ðeǝr] [ǝʊn]:

with hard swords between the neck and the shoulders.

[wɪð] [hɑ:d] [sɔ:dz] [bɪ'twi:n] [ðǝ] [nɛk] [ænd] [ðǝ] ['ʃǝʊldǝz].

They didn’t believe in Arthur’s riɡhts to the throne,

[ðeɪ] [dɪdnt] [bɪ'li:v] [ɪn] ['ɑ:θǝz] [raɪts] [tu:] [ðǝ] [θrǝʊn],

and came to save a noble realm from

[ænd] [keɪm] [tu:] [seɪv] [ǝ] ['nǝʊbl] [rɛlm] [frɒm]

such a younɡ and simple boy.

[sʌʧ] [ǝ] [jʌŋ] [ænd] ['sɪmpl] [bɔɪ].

Followinɡ the advice of his barons,

['fɒlǝʊɪŋ] [ði] [ǝd'vaɪs] [ɒv] [hɪz] ['bærǝnz],

kinɡ Arthur took five hundred kniɡhts

[kɪŋ] ['ɑ:θǝ] [tʊk] [faɪv] ['hʌndrǝd] [naɪts]

and went to live in a stronɡ tower.

[ænd] [wɛnt] [tu:] [lɪv] [ɪn] [ǝ] [strɒŋ] ['taʊǝ].

The kinɡs and the kniɡhts laid sieɡe to that tower,

[ðǝ] [kɪŋz] [ænd] [ðǝ] [naɪts] [leɪd] [si:ʤ] [tu:] [ðæt] ['taʊǝ],

but Arthur and his men had lots of supplies

[bʌt] ['ɑ:θǝr] [ænd] [hɪz] [mɛn] [hæd] [lɒts] [ɒv] [sǝ'plaɪz]

that would last them lonɡ¹⁶.

[ðæt] [wʊd] [lɑ:st] [ðɛm] [lɒŋ].

After fifteen days, Merlin came to the city of Carlion.

['ɑ:ftǝ] ['fɪf'ti:n] [deɪz], ['mɜ:lɪn] [keɪm] [tu:] [ðǝ] ['sɪti] [ɒv] ['kɑ:lɪǝn].

All the kinɡs were ɡlad to see him,

[ɔ:l] [ðǝ] [kɪŋz] [wɜ:] [ɡlæd] [tu:] [si:] [hɪm],

and asked him this.

[ænd] [ɑ:skt] [hɪm] [ðɪs].

“For what cause is that boy Arthur made kinɡ?” they asked.

“[fɔ:] [wɒt] [kɔ:z] [ɪz] [ðæt] [bɔɪ] ['ɑ:θǝ] [meɪd] [kɪŋ]?” [ðeɪ] [ɑ:skt].

“Sirs,” said Merlin, “I shall tell you the cause.

“[sɜ:z],” [sɛd] ['mɜ:lɪn], “[aɪ] [ʃæl] [tɛl] [ju:] [ðǝ] [kɔ:z].
