The Stanzaic Morte Arthur engages with the tragic implications of the chivalric love between Lancelot, Arthur and Guinevere; the Alliterative Morte Arthur with those of the aspirations of militant chivalry espoused by Arthur and his knights. The texts have been edited for readers who have little or no training in Middle English.

In a dream, the poet joins a hunting party. He comes upon a knight in black, who laments the loss of his lady, tells of her virtues and beauty and declares her dead. The hunting party reappears, a bell strikes twelve, and the poet awakes.
