“Y beteu yn y morva ys bychan ae haelwy Y mae Sanant Syberv vun y mae Run ryvel achwy Y mae Carwen verch Kennin y mae lledin a llywy.” (Myv. Arch. i. 82.) The graves on the shore, on which but little generosity has been bestowed, Are those of Sanant the courteous maid, of Rhun foremost in the war, Of Carwen daughter of Cennyn, of Lledyn and Llywy. {141e} His character has been described before in stanza xxv. {142a} The servant in question, for “unben” does not exclusively mean a monarch, but it is applied also as a complimentary appellation like the modern Sir, “Ha unben! Duw a’ch noddo.” “O Sir! God protect you.” (Kilhwch and Olwen.) {142b} Al. “heb benn,” a headless wolf. {142c} It would appear as if the servant retaliated in kind upon the slayer of his mistress, who was either a wolf in disposition, or bore it as a badge; and that such a deed entitled him to bear a coat charged with figures emblematic thereof. {142d} “Ysgrwydiat.” Al. “Gold mailed warriors slept in death, (cysgrwyddiad) on the city walls.” {142e} “Cred,” of faith, as distinguished from the unbelieving Saxons. {142f} “Aerflawdd,” nimble for slaughter. “There was a tribute of carnage, nor were they long engaged in the tumult of battle.” _Gorch Mael_. {143a} Another version gives “the birds of battle;” but both doubtless refer to the birds of prey which roved to the scene of battle, prepared to perch upon the carcases of the dead. There is something extremely natural and affecting in the conduct of the “feeble man,” as here described. {143b} Or, “of fair observation:” probably the very individual who warded off the birds. The Gorchan Maelderw would indicate that Syll was an incorrect transcript of _pelloid_ or _pellwyd_, which word would supply the blank after _brwydryat_, and make the line rhyme with the preceding. The passage would then be, “and drove away the roving birds. Truly, Mirain,” &c. {143c} A river so called, which cannot now be identified, as there are several in the South of Scotland, which would admit of this Welsh form; such as, the Leith, the Lugar, &c. Perhaps it is the same with Aber Lleu, where Urien Rheged was assassinated, and Aber Llyw mentioned in the “Elegy on Old Age” by Llywarch Hen. {143d} “In the day of conflict.” _Gorch. Mael_. {144a} Al. “look.” {144b} “Gwyr nod;” this expression has two significations, it means both “men of note” and “slaves.” The lines that follow seem to restrict it here to the latter sense. {144c} The word Din indicates it to have been a camp or a fort. {144d} “We may suppose this to refer to the property that was collected within the camp on the summit of the hill.
