Arthur O'Bower has broken his band
And he comes roaring up the land;
The King of Scots with all his power
Cannot stop Arthur of the Bower.

A nursery rhyme, relating to the Wild Hunt, where Arthur O'Bower rides on the wind, personifying a storm. The Arthur in question is indeed King Arthur, who has broken his band--the Knights of the Round Table--while he fought the son of the king of Lothain (part of Scotland)--Mordred.

It is also popularized from Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin.

A bower can either be a cottage, a woman's boudior, an anchor, or a Fool; as Harlequin is identified as leader of the Wild Hunt in France, this last one may be applicable.

I have also seen that bower may be a confusion with bowder, meaning "a blast or squall of wind."

Has broken his band and run awa
And the king and a' his court
Canna turn that bull about.

In Nottingham there lives a jolly Tanner
His name is Arthur a Bland:
There is ne're a 'Squire in Nottinghamshire
Dar bid bold Arthur stand
