XIII.

The hero {98d} marched to Cattraeth with the day;

Truly {99a} he quaffed the white mead on serene nights; {99b}

Miserable, though success had been predicted, {99c}

Proved his mission, which he undertook through soaring ambition; {99d}

There hastened not to Cattraeth

A chief, with such a magnificent design of enterprize

Blazoned on his standard;

Never was there such a host

From the fort of Eiddin, {99e}

That would scatter abroad the mounted ravagers.

Tudvwlch Hir, {100a} deprived of {100b} his land and towns,

Slaughtered the Saxons for seven days; {100c}

His valour should have protected him in freedom; {100d}

His memory is cherished by his fair {100e} associates;

When Tudvwlch arrived, the supporter of the land, {100f}

The post of the son of Kilydd {100g} became a plain of blood.
