Letters have been omitted in words in order to maintain the rhythm of the poem. An example would be: answer’d
2. Simile:
“… let thy voice
Rise like a fountain for me night and day.”
In this line, Sir Bedivere’s voice is compared to that of a fountain with the usage of the word ‘like’.

Both for themselves and those who call them friend?”
