I faint; my glow of youth is gone;

Sleepless at night and sick at morn,

My strength departs; I droop, I fade,

Yet think upon that lonely maid,

And pity her, the while I pine

That she should spurn a love like mine

This, Madoc took the harp to play;

Cold in the earth Prince Hoel lay;

And Llaian listened, fain to speak

But wept as if her heart would break.
