usly and deeply, when he fell prostrate upon the ground,
The banner was pompously {204a} unfurled, and borne by a man in the
flank; {204b}
A tumultuous scene was beheld {204c} in Eiddin, and on the battle field.
The grasp of his hand performed deeds of valour
Upon the Cynt, {204d} the Gwyddyl, and the Prydyn.
He who meddles with the mane of a wolf, without a club
In his hand, will have it gorgeously emblazoned on his robe.
Fain would I sing,--"would that Morien had not died."
I sigh for Gwenabwy, the son of Gwen. {204e}

{79a} Or, "The youth was endowed with a manly disposition," the word
_oed_ being taken as a verb (oedd) rather than as a substantive; though
it ought to be remarked, as indicative of the sense in which it was
regarded by the copyist, that MS. No. 3, which has generally supplied the
_dd_ where it was considered necessary, has it not in the present
instance.
