The deer were collected within the encampment for the purpose of supplying the army with food, or so as to be out of the reach of the enemy. The locality was probably that of Ban Carw, the Deer Bank. {156c} Dyvynawl Brych. {156d} I.e. no pacific insignia. {156e} A moral reflection suggested by the perfidy of the Saxons at the conference of Llanveithin. {156f} Morial is recorded in one of the Englynion y Beddau, (see line 348, note 2) as one who fell not unavenged. His name occurs in one of Llywarch Hen’s poems, (see line 495. note 2.) Meugant gives an account of the expedition of one Morial to Caer Lwydgoed (Lincoln) from whence he brought a booty of 1500 bullocks. {156g} Or, “mutually sharing” the toils of war. {157a} These two lines may be translated in reference to the Saxon herald; “The stranger with the crimson robe pursued, And slaughtered with axes and blades.” {157b} “Cywrein.” Al. “The warriors arose, met together, and with one accord,” &c. {157c} Or, “made the assault.” {157d} Or, simply, “women.” {157e} “Gwich,” a shriek; Al. “acted bravely.” Al. “were greatly exasperated;” or perhaps for “gwyth” we should read _gweddw_, “their wives they made widows.” Gruffydd ap yr Ynad Coch in his Elegy upon Llywelyn, (Myv. Arch. i. 396) makes use of similar sentiments, in the following lines,— Llawer deigr hylithr yn hwylaw ar rudd Llawer ystlys rhudd a rhwyg arnaw Llawer gwaed am draed wedi ymdreiddiaw Llawer gweddw a gwaedd y amdanaw Llawer meddwl trwm yn tomrwyaw. Llawer mam heb dad gwedi ei adaw Llawer hendref fraith gwedi llwybrgodaith A llawer diffaith drwy anrhaith draw Llawer llef druan fal ban fu’r Gamlan. Many a slippery tear sails down the cheek, Many a wounded side is red with gore, Many a foot is bathed in blood, Many a widow raises the mournful shriek, Many a mind is heavily troubled, Many a son is left without a father, Many an old grey town is deserted, Many are ruined by yonder deed of war, Many a cry of misery arises as erst on Camlan field. {158a} Al. “Nor was there a hero (lew from glew)” &c. Al. “Nor was there a lion so generous, in the presence of a lion of the greatest course;” the latter description referring to some other chief of renown. {158b} Or the _cry_, “dias;” being either the shout of battle, or the voice of distress. {158c} “Angor,” from _ang_ and _gor_; lit. a _staying round_, which indicates the city in question to have been of a circular form. Probably it was one of the forts which are so commonly seen on our hills. {158d} That is, either the place where Bards were entertained, or where the deer were protected. See line 535. {159a} “Gwryd,” _manliness_, as displayed in war. {159b} I.e. Cynon. {159c} Or, “wide.” {159d} A similar expression has been used before (line 512) “nac eithaf na chynor.” A “clod heb or heb eithaf,” simply means immortal praise.
