LXXI.

He fell headlong down the precipice, {174e}

And the bushes {174f} supported not his noble {174g} head;

It was a violation of privilege to kill him on the breach, {175a}

It was a primary law that Owain should ascend upon the course, {175b}

And extend before the onset the branch of peace, {175c}

And that he should pursue the study of meet {175d} and learned strains.

Excellent man, the assuager of tumult and battle,

Whose very grasp dreaded a sword, {175e}

And who bore in his hand an empty corslet. {175f}

O sovereign, dispense rewards

Out of his earthly shrine. {176a}
