e slain.

Up and down the country went Trwyth the boar, and Arthur followed after
him, till they came to the Severn sea. There three knights caught his
feet unawares and plunged him into the water, while one snatched the
razor from him, and another seized the scissors. But before they laid
hold of the comb he had shaken them all off, and neither man nor horse
nor dog could reach him till he came to Cornwall, whither Arthur had
sworn he should not go. Thither Arthur followed after him with his
knights, and if it had been hard to win the razor and the scissors, the
struggle for the comb was fiercer still, but at length Arthur prevailed,
and the boar was driven into the sea. And whether he was drowned or
where he went no man knows to this day.

In the end all the marvels were done, and Kilweh set forward, and with
him Goreu, the son of Custennin, to Yspaddaden Penkawr, bearing in their
hands the razor, the scissors and the comb, and Yspaddaden Penkawr was
shaved by Kaw.

'Is thy daughter mine now?' asked Kilweh.

'She is thine,' answered Yspaddaden, 'but it is Arthur and none other
who has won her for thee. Of my own free will thou shouldst never have
had her, for now I must lose my life.' And as he spake Goreu the son of
Custennin cut off his head, as if had been ordained, and Arthur's hosts
returned each man to his own country.

From the 'Mabinogion.'
