Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

To Sir Thomas Mallory

by: Arthur Guiterman (Author)

from: A Ballad-Maker's Pack (P. 71) 1921

Well met, Sir Thomas! guide and comrade true
   In many brave adventures. Slow, God wot,
   Have dragged the years since last in Camelot
By Arthur’s hall the bridle rein we drew.
Of Bedivere,—of Bors what tidings new?
   What gallant tale is told of Lancelot,
The courteous knight? Old friend, hast thou forgot
How rang the walls when round the table flew
That biting lay on Cornwall’s coward King
   Of blithe Sir Dinadan? With snowy crest
      And stainless shield, what young knight fares upon
The charmèd road of high adventuring?
   Alone, I ride a long and weary quest.
      Oh, bid them wait for me in Avalon!
