Urien of Erechwydd, most generous man in
Christendom Much you give to the men of the world As you gather, so you scatter The bards of Christendom are happy whilst you live It is greater happiness to the hero's eulogist It is greater glory that Urien and his sons live Since he is chief, most high lord Stronghold of stranger, foremost fighter Men of England know it when they converse Death they have suffered and frequent vexations Burning of their homes and taking of their shelter And many a loss and great tribulation Without taking deliverance before Urien Rheged Rheged's defender, famed lord, anchor of the country My will is upon you, of all the renowned Intense your spear-play when battle is heard Battle when you charge, vengeance you wreak, Houses on fire before dawn in advance of the lord of Erech. Fairest Erechwydd and her most generous men Angles are without security because of the bravest prince Of the bravest stock, you are the greatest that is That has been or will be, you have no equal When men gaze upon him, widespread is the awe Courtesy around him, around the glorious prince Around him courtesy and great resources Golden prince of the North, chief of princes |
