The New Year in Camelot with André Rieu – May Heart’s Desire be With You
King Arthur doth Speak
“The goddess of peace shall her blessings unfold……..”
New Yeere Tidings to All My Subjects in this deare Kingdom of Hertes, Camelot,
Whilst the ancient Olde Yeere doth walk the final shaky steps to the Gate of Time, the New Yeere awaits to greet your humble King Arthur and all those in his herte. As we of Camelot ride to those goulden gates, we shall sweeten our ride with music and grace. As in yeeres that have gone past, André Léon Marie Nicolas Rieu, our Minstrel of the New Yeere, shall playeth melodies of dance.
Let us now bid good bye to our friend of olde with fondness, and then walk through the gates side by side. Among these blessed candles of the night, I prithee now take thy glass of wassail to toast thy Queen Guinevere, Merlin, our Scribe- Lady Sharon, the Knights of the Pain Table, all Knights, Lords, Pilgrims, Ladies, & all my subjects in Camelot. We shall now greet this Belvoire (“beautiful view” in French ) New Yeere as we wave farewell to the olde.
A New Year’s Wish for Ye of Camelot.
May thy darkeness be illumed
May thy sickness depart
May thy mortal strife be carried for thee
May thy herte always be thy compass
I am proud of those Knights of the Pain Table that didst fight gallant battles this past yeere against the Darke Nyght. Their hertes hath infinite strength & love. Wherever the battles lead thee, know that your Kyng shall always be by your side to serve thee and comfort thee. Always remember:
Thou art loved.
Thou art my all,
King Arthur Pendragon
King of Camelot
Let not the eyes grow dim, look not backward but forward; the soul must uphold itself like the sun. Let us labour to make the heart grow larger as we become older, as the spreading oak gives more shelter.
~ Richard Jeffries (1848-1887 )
