The heroes marched to Cattraeth, filled with mead and drunk,

Compact and vigorous; {94a} I should wrong them were I to neglect their

fame;

Around the mighty, red, and murky blades,

Obstinately and fiercely the dogs of war {94b} would fight;

If I had judged you to be of the tribe of Bryneich, {94c}

Not the phantom of a man would I have left alive. {94d}

I lost a friend, myself being unhurt,

As he openly withstood the terror of the parental chief;

Magnanimously did he refuse the dowry of his father-in-law; {94e}

Such was the son of Cian {95a} from the stone of Gwyngwn.
