It is incumbent to sing of so many men of skill, {169c}
Who in their halls {169d} once led a merry life: {169e}
Ambitious {169f} and bold, all round the world would Eidol {169g} seek
for melody;
But notwithstanding gold, and fine steeds, and intoxicating mead,
Only one man of these, who loved the world, returned,
Cynddilig of Aeron, one of the Novantian heroes. {169h}
