"A second Sawyl in the gloom"

Roman Ribchester

From the 'Death Song of Uther Pendragon:'

Neu vi luossawc yn trydar:
It is I who commands hosts in battle:

ny pheidwn rwg deu lu heb wyar.
I’d not give up between two forces without bloodshed.

Neu vi a elwir gorlassar:
It’s I who's called the Radiant One

vy gwrys bu enuys y’m hescar.
my ferocity snared my enemy.

5 Neu vi tywyssawc yn tywyll:
It is I who’s a leader in darkness:

a’m rithwy am dwy pen kawell.
My God, chief of the sanctuary, transforms me.

Neu vi eil Sawyl yn ardu:
It’s I who’s a second Sawyl in the gloom:

ny pheidwn heb wyar rwg deu lu.
I’d not give up without bloodshed between two forces.
