LXXIV.

The saints {178a} exert their courage, {178b} for the destruction of thy

retreat, {178c}

And the cellar, {178d} which contained, and where was brewed {178e}

The mead, that sweet ensnarer.

With the dawn does Gwrys {178f} make the battle clash;

Fair gift, {178g}--marshal of the Lloegrian tribes; {178h}

Penance he inflicts until repentance ensues; {178i}

May the dependants of Gwynedd hear of his renown;

With his ashen shaft he pierces to the grave;

Pike of the conflict of Gwynedd,

Bull of the host, oppressor of the battle of princes; {179a}

Though thou hast kindled the land {179b} before thy fall,

At the extreme boundary {179c} of Gododin will be thy grave.
