XXXV.

No hall was ever made so impregnable; {134d}

Had not Morien been like Caradawg, {134e}

The forward Mynawg, {134f} with his heavy armour, {134g} would not have

escaped;

Enraged, he was fiercer than the son of Pherawg, {135a}

Stout his hand, and, mounted on his steed, {135b} he dealt out flames

upon the retreating foe.

Terrible in the city was the cry of the timid multitude,

The van of the army of Gododin was scattered;

His buckler {135c} was winged with fire for the slaughter;

In the day of his wrath {135d} he was nimble--a destructive retaliator;

The dependants of Mynyddawg deserved their horns of mead.
