Y Gododin: A Poem of the Battle of Cattraeth

by Aneirin

LXIX.

At the early dawn of morn, [172b]
There was a battle at the fall of the river, [172c] in front of the course; [172d]
The pass and the knoll were pervaded with fire; [172e]
Like a boar didst thou [172f] lead to the mount;
The wealth [172g] of the hill, and the place,
And the dark brown hawks [173a] were stained with gore. [173b]
