Y Gododin: A Poem of the Battle of Cattraeth

by Aneirin

LXXV.

Involved in vapours was the man [179d] accustomed to armies,
High minded, bitter handed leader of the forces; [179e]
He was expert, and ardent, and stately,
Though at the social banquet he was not harsh. [180a]
They [180b] removed and possessed his valuable treasures,
And not the image of a thing for the benefit of the region was left.
