At
these
words
of
Merlin
,
Aurelius
burst
into
laughter
,
and
said
,
How
is
it
possible
to
remove
such
vast
stones
from
so
great
a
distance
,
as
if
Britain
,
also
,
had
no
stones
fit
for
the
work
?
33
I
pray
the
king
,
said
Merlin
,
to
forbear
vain
laughter
;
what
I
have
said
is
true
,
for
those
stones
are
mystical
and
have
healing
virtues
.
The
giants
of
old
brought
them
from
the
furthest
coast
of
Africa
,
and
placed
them
in
Ireland
while
they
lived
in
that
country
:
and
their
design
was
to
make
baths
in
them
,
for
use
in
time
of
grievous
illness
.
For
if
they
washed
the
stones
and
put
the
sick
into
the
water
,
it
certainly
healed
them
,
as
also
it
did
them
that
were
wounded
in
battle
;
and
there
is
no
stone
among
them
but
hath
the
same
virtue
still
.

When
the
Britons
heard
this
,
they
resolved
to
send
for
the
stones
,
and
to
make
war
upon
the
people
of
Ireland
if
they
offered
to
withhold
them
.
So
,
when
they
had
chosen
Uther
the
king
s
brother
for
their
chief
,
they
set
sail
,
to
the
number
of
15
,
000
men
,
and
came
to
Ireland
.
There
Gillomanius
,
the
king
,
withstood
them
fiercely
,
and
not
till
after
a
great
battle
could
they
approach
the
Giants
Dance
,
the
sight
of
which
filled
them
with
joy
and
admiration
.
But
when
they
sought
to
move
the
stones
,
the
strength
of
all
the
army
was
in
vain
,
until
Merlin
,
laughing
at
their
failures
,
contrived
machines
of
wondrous
cunning
,
which
took
them
down
with
ease
,
and
placed
them
in
the
ships
.
35
When
they
had
brought
the
whole
to
Salisbury
,
Aurelius
,
with
the
crown
upon
his
head
,
kept
for
four
days
the
feast
of
Pentecost
with
royal
pomp
;
and
in
the
midst
of
all
the
clergy
and
the
people
,
Merlin
raised
up
the
stones
,
and
set
them
round
the
sepulchre
of
the
knights
and
barons
,
as
they
stood
in
the
mountains
of
Ireland
.
36
Then
was
the
monument
called
Stonehenge
,
which
stands
,
as
all
men
know
,
upon
the
plain
of
Salisbury
to
this
very
day
.
37
Soon
thereafter
it
befell
that
Aurelius
was
slain
by
poison
at
Winchester
,
and
was
himself
buried
within
the
Giants
Dance
.

At
the
same
time
came
forth
a
comet
of
amazing
size
and
brightness
,
darting
out
a
beam
,
at
the
end
whereof
was
a
cloud
of
fire
shaped
like
a
dragon
,
from
whose
mouth
went
out
two
rays
,
one
stretching
over
Gaul
,
the
other
ending
in
seven
lesser
rays
over
the
Irish
sea
.
39
At
the
appearance
of
this
star
a
great
dread
fell
upon
the
people
,
and
Uther
,
marching
into
Cambria
against
the
son
of
Vortigern
,
himself
was
very
troubled
to
learn
what
it
might
mean
.
Then
Merlin
,
being
called
before
him
,
cried
with
a
loud
voice
:
O
mighty
loss
!
O
stricken
Britain
!
Alas
!
the
great
prince
is
gone
from
us
.
Aurelius
Ambrosius
is
dead
,
whose
death
will
be
ours
also
,
unless
God
help
us
.
Haste
,
therefore
,
noble
Uther
,
to
destroy
the
enemy
;
the
victory
shall
be
thine
,
and
thou
shalt
be
king
of
all
Britain
.
For
the
star
with
the
fiery
dragon
signifies
thyself
;
and
the
ray
over
Gaul
portends
that
thou
shalt
have
a
son
,
most
mighty
,
whom
all
those
kingdoms
shall
obey
which
the
ray
covers
.
40
Thus
,
for
the
second
time
,
did
Merlin
foretell
the
coming
of
King
Arthur
.
