| "For
the death of all Britain, protector of Cynnllaith, Dead lion of Nancoel, breastplate of nancaw, Many a slippery tear scuds on the cheek, Many a flank gaping and crimson, Many a pool of blood round the feet, Many a widow crying aloud for him, Many a heavy thought goes errant, Many a fatherless child's abandoned, Many a homstead flecked from the fire's path, And many a looted wilderness yonder, Many a wretched cry, as once was at Camlan, Many a tear has run down the cheek: Since the buttress is down, gold-handed chieftain, Since llywelyn is slain, my mortal wit fails me." |
