Said Gwawl, "Do thou thyself draw up the covenant."
"It will suffice me that it be as Rhiannon said," answered Pwyll. So unto that covenant were the sureties pledged.
"Verily, lord," said Gwawl, "I am greatly hurt, and I have many bruises. I have need to be anointed: with thy leave I will go forth. I will leave nobles in my stead to answer for me in all that thou shalt require."
"Willingly," said Pwyll, "mayest thou do thus." So Gwawl went towards his own possessions.
And the hall was set in order for Pwyll and the men of his host, and for them also of the palace, and they went to the tables and sat down. And as they had sat that time twelvemonth, so sat they that night. And they ate, and feasted, and spent the night in mirth and tranquillity.
And next morning, at the break of day, "My lord," said Rhiannon, "arise and begin to give thy gifts unto the minstrels. Refuse no one to-day that may claim thy bounty."
"Thus shall it be, gladly," said Pwyll, "both to-day and every day while the feast shall last." So Pwyll arose, and he caused silence to be proclaimed, and desired all the suitors and the minstrels to show and to point out what gifts were to their wish and desire. And this being done, the feast went on, and he denied no one while it lasted. And when the feast was ended, Pwyll said unto Heveydd, "My lord, with thy permission, I will set out for Dyved to-morrow."
"Certainly," said Heveydd. "May Heaven prosper thee! Fix also a time when Rhiannon may follow thee."
Said Pwyll, "We will go hence together."
"Willest thou this, lord?" said Heveydd.
