There is none equal to my prince with his numerous troops in the conflict
of war. He is a generous Cymro descended from Beli Hir, {37c} if you
enquire about his lineage. He generously distributeth gold and riches.
An heroic wolf from Eryri. {37d} An eagle among his nobles of matchless
prowess; it is our duty to extol him. He is clad in a golden vest in the
army, and setteth castles on fire. He is the bulwark of the battle with
Greidiawl's {37e} courage. He is a hero that with fury breaketh whole
ranks, and fighteth manfully. His violence is rapid, his generosity
overflowing. He is the strength of armies arrayed in gold. He is a
brave prince whose territories extend as far as the Teivi, {37f} whom
nobody dares to punish. Llewelyn the vanquisher of England is a noble
lion descended from the race of kings. Thou art the king of the mighty,
the entertainer and encourager of Bards. Thou makest the crows rejoice,
and the Bryneich {38a} to vomit blood, they feasted on their carcases.
He never avoided danger in the storm of battle, he was undaunted in the
midst of hardships. The Bards {38b} prophecy that he shall have the
government and sovereign power; every prediction is at last to be
fulfilled. The shields of his men were stained with red in brave actions
from Pwlffordd {38c} to the farthest bounds of Cydweli. {38d} May he
find endless joys, and be reconciled to the Son of God, and enjoy Heaven
by his side.
