Answer:
The passage is from "Morte d'Arthur" by Alfred Lord Tennyson in which he wrote about king Arthur and his conversation with sir Bedivere.
Explanation:
The full passage is the reply of king Arthur (faint and pale) to sir Bedivere:
"Thou hast betray'd thy nature and thy name, Not rendering true answer, as beseem'd Thy fealty, nor like a noble knight: For surer sign had to follow'd, either hand, Or voice, or else a motion of the mere. This is a shameful thing for men to lie. Yet now, I charge thee, quickly go again As thou art lief and dear, and do the thing I bade thee, watch, and lightly bring me word."
On Bedivere's return, Arther asks what he heard and saw when he threw the sword into the lake. Bedivere lies that he heard the sound of a ripple and the wild water hitting the crag as though he had thrown the sword into the water. king Arthur knows that the sword cannot fail into the water because it will be caught by an arm rising from the water. he reprimands Bedivere for lying because if he had thrown the sword as he was told, he would have gotten another sign almost like a miracle. arthur orders Bedivere to go and throw the sword.
