Einion ap Gwalchmai

The Welsh court poet Einion ap Gwalchmai (fl. 1202–1223) was the son of the poet Gwalchmai ap Meilyr and brother of the poet Meilyr ap Gwalchmai. He lived in Gwynedd. Some lines of a praise poem to Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, Prince of Gwynedd, have survived, together with three impressive religious awdlau (odes).

Amser Mai, maith dydd, neud rhydd rhoddi,

Neud coed nad ceithiw, ceinlliw celli.

Neud llafar adar, neud gwâr gweilgi,

Neud gwaeddgreg gwaneg gwynt yn edwi,

Neud erfai ddoniau goddau gweddi,

Neud argel dawel, nid mau dewi.

gollark: No.

gollark: I'm not sure how to fix my thing's semibadness though. Either I just put ALL the metadata stuff into the footer, but that's not very robust, or I write out the compressed content of each file to a temporary thing so I can pre-write-in the length, or I make the pre-file headers into footers, or I make the writer jump around in the file a lot.
