The Lady Of The Lake

Page 22

Her husband was so shocked at her high spirits on so sad an occasion, that he touched her, saying, “Hush,

wife, why dost thou laugh?” “I laugh,” she replied, “ because the poor babe is at last happy and free from pain and suffering.” she said, “The last blow has been

struck. Farewell.” When she arrived home, she called her cattle and other stock together, each by name.

Gwyn’s heart was broken. He followed his wife to the lake and put an end to his misery by plunging into the depths of the cold water. The three sons spent most of their days wandering about the lake in the hope

of seeing their mother once more. Their love was

at last rewarded, for one day Nelferch appeared to

them. She told them that their mission on earth was to relieve the pain and misery of mankind. She took them to a place which is still called the Physician’s Dingle (Pant y Meddygon).
