\n\nHow sad to me, how sad!
Have Cedwyf and Cadfan perished?
Glaring and tumultuous was the slaughter
Pierced was the shield from Trywrwyd<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taliesin
It was Maelgwn that I saw combating
His household before the tumult of the host is not silent<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Myrddin
Before two men in Nevtur they will land
Before Errith and Gurrith on a pale white horse
The slender bay they will undoubtedly bear away
Soon will his retinue be seen with Elgan
Alas for his death! A great journey they came<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taliesin
Rhys, the one-toothed, a span was his shield
Even to thee has complete prosperity come
Cyndur has been slain, beyond measure they grieve
Men that were generous while they lived have been slain
Three men of note, whose esteem was great with Elgan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Myrddin
Through and through, in excess and excess they came
From yonder and yonder there came to me Bran and Melgan
Slay, in their last conflict, Diwel,
The son of Erbin and his men they did<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taliesin
The host of Maelgwn, it was fortunate they came
Slaughtering men of battle, penetrating the gory plain
Even the action of Ardderydd, when there will be a crisis,
Continually for the hero they will prepare<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Myrddin
A host of flying darts, reeking will be the gory plain
A host of warriors, vigorous and active will they be
A host when wounds will be given, a host when flight will take place
A host when they will return to the combat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taliesin
The seven sons of Eliffer, seven heroes when put to the test
They will not avoid seven spears in their seven divisions<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Myrddin
Seven blazing fires, seven opposing armies
The seventh Cynfelyn in every foremost place<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taliesin
Seven thrusting spears, seven rivers-ful
Of the blood of chieftains they will fill<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Myrddin
Seven score generous ones have gone to the shades
In the woods of Celyddon they came to their end<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I, Myrddin, am next after Taliesin
Let my prediction become common\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
