Shrieks more than human; globes of hail poured down

An armed winter, and inverted day.

Arth. Dreadful indeed!

Aur. Count then our labour's lost;

For other way lies none, to mount the cliff,

Unless we borrow wings, and sail through air.

Arth. Now I perceive a danger worthy me.

'Tis Osmond's work, a band of hell-hired slaves:

Be mine the hazard, mine shall be the fame.

[Arthur is going out, but is met by Merlin, who takes him by the hand, and brings him back.
