LXIV.

It is incumbent to sing of so much renown,

The tumult of fire, of thunder, and tempest,

The glorious gallantry of the knight of conflict. {167a}

The ruddy reapers of war are thy desire, {167b}

Thou man of toil, {167c} but the worthless thou beheadest; {167d}

The whole length of the land shall hear of thee in battle;

With thy shield upon thy shoulder, thou dost incessantly cleave

With thy blade, {167e} until blood flows {167f} like bright wine out of

glass vessels; {167g}

As the contribution {168a} for mead thou claimest gold;

Wine nourished was Gwaednerth, {168b} the son of Llywri.
