This scene reports Arthur's death and his departure from the world of the living.

Explanation:

This question is related to the novel "Le Morte d'Arthur". In the scene where Arhtur gets on the barge and goes to "the valley of Avalon" we can see that he is saying goodbye to his companions and saying that he will never see them again, but that it is necessary that they pray for his soul. This means that Arthur died, will leave his corporeal state and will be formed only of soul, because he will leave the world of the living. Your soul, however, is not as strong as your body and therefore will need the prayers of your friends.

We can interpret this through the excerpt:

"Comfort thyself, said the king, and do as well as thou mayst, for in me is no trust for to trust in; for I will into the vale of Avalon to heal me of my grievous wound: and if thou hear never more of me, pray for my soul. "
