When
their
battle
was
done
,
the
king
desired
Merlin
to
tell
him
what
it
meant
.
Whereat
he
,
bursting
into
tears
,
cried
out
this
prophecy
,
which
first
foretold
the
coming
of
King
Arthur
.
22
Woe
to
the
red
dragon
,
which
figureth
the
British
nation
,
for
his
banishment
cometh
quickly
;
his
lurkingholes
shall
be
seized
by
the
white
dragon
the
Saxon
whom
thou
,
O
king
,
hast
called
to
the
land
.
The
mountains
shall
be
levelled
as
the
valleys
,
and
the
rivers
of
the
valleys
shall
run
blood
;
cities
shall
be
burned
,
and
churches
laid
in
ruins
;
till
at
length
the
oppressed
shall
turn
for
a
season
and
prevail
against
the
strangers
.
For
a
Boar
of
Cornwall
shall
arise
and
rend
them
,
and
trample
their
necks
beneath
his
feet
.
The
island
shall
be
subject
to
his
power
,
and
he
shall
take
the
forests
of
Gaul
.
The
house
of
Romulus
shall
dread
him
all
the
world
shall
fear
him
and
his
end
shall
no
man
know
;
he
shall
be
immortal
in
the
mouths
of
the
people
,
and
his
works
shall
be
food
to
those
that
tell
them
.
23
But
as
for
thee
,
O
Vortigern
,
flee
thou
the
sons
of
Constantine
,
for
they
shall
burn
thee
in
thy
tower
.

For
thine
own
ruin
wast
thou
traitor
to
their
father
,
and
didst
bring
the
Saxon
heathens
to
the
land
.
Aurelius
and
Uther
are
even
now
upon
thee
to
revenge
their
father
s
murder
;
and
the
brood
of
the
white
dragon
shall
waste
thy
country
,
and
shall
lick
thy
blood
.
Find
out
some
refuge
,
if
thou
wilt
!
but
who
may
escape
the
doom
of
God
?
25
The
king
heard
all
this
,
trembling
greatly
;
and
,
convicted
of
his
sins
,
said
nothing
in
reply
.
Only
he
hasted
the
builders
of
his
tower
by
day
and
night
,
and
rested
not
till
he
had
fled
thereto
.
26
In
the
meantime
,
Aurelius
,
the
rightful
king
,
was
hailed
with
joy
by
the
Britons
,
who
flocked
to
his
standard
,
and
prayed
to
be
led
against
the
Saxons
.
But
he
,
till
he
had
first
killed
Vortigern
,
would
begin
no
other
war
.
He
marched
therefore
to
Cambria
,
and
came
before
the
tower
which
the
usurper
had
built
.
Then
,
crying
out
to
all
his
knights
,
Avenge
ye
on
him
who
hath
ruined
Britain
and
slain
my
father
and
your
king
!
he
rushed
with
many
thousands
at
the
castle
walls
.
But
,
being
driven
back
again
and
yet
again
,
at
length
he
thought
of
fire
,
and
ordered
blazing
brands
to
be
cast
into
the
building
from
all
sides
.
These
finding
soon
a
proper
fuel
,
ceased
not
to
rage
,
till
spreading
to
a
mighty
conflagration
,
they
burned
down
the
tower
and
Vortigern
within
it
.
27
Then
did
Aurelius
turn
his
strength
against
Hengist
and
the
Saxons
,
and
,
defeating
them
in
many
places
,
weakened
their
power
for
a
long
season
,
so
that
the
land
had
peace
.

Anon
the
king
,
making
many
journeys
to
and
fro
,
restoring
ruined
churches
and
,
creating
order
,
came
to
the
monastery
near
Salisbury
,
where
all
those
British
knights
lay
buried
who
had
been
slain
there
by
the
treachery
of
Hengist
.
For
when
in
former
times
Hengist
had
made
a
solemn
truce
with
Vortigern
,
to
meet
in
peace
and
settle
terms
,
whereby
himself
and
all
his
Saxons
should
depart
from
Britain
,
the
Saxon
soldiers
carried
every
one
of
them
beneath
his
garment
a
long
dagger
,
and
,
at
a
given
signal
,
fell
upon
the
Britons
,
and
slew
them
,
to
the
number
of
nearly
five
hundred
.
29
The
sight
of
the
place
where
the
dead
lay
moved
Aurelius
to
great
sorrow
,
and
he
cast
about
in
his
mind
how
to
make
a
worthy
tomb
over
so
many
noble
martyrs
,
who
had
died
there
for
their
country
.
30
When
he
had
in
vain
consulted
many
craftsmen
and
builders
,
he
sent
,
by
the
advice
of
the
archbishop
,
for
Merlin
,
and
asked
him
what
to
do
.
If
you
would
honour
the
burying
-
place
of
these
men
,
said
Merlin
,
with
an
everlasting
monument
,
send
for
the
Giants
Dance
which
is
in
Killaraus
,
a
mountain
in
Ireland
;
for
there
is
a
structure
of
stone
there
which
none
of
this
age
could
raise
without
a
perfect
knowledge
of
the
arts
.
They
are
stones
of
a
vast
size
and
wondrous
nature
,
and
if
they
can
be
placed
here
as
they
are
there
,
round
this
spot
of
ground
,
they
will
stand
for
ever
.
