Einion ap Gwalchmai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
