Taliesin - The Battle Of Goddeu/The Trees

If I come to where the boar was killed,
He will compose, he will decompose,
He will form languages.

The strong-handed gleamer, his name,
With a gleam he rules his numbers.
They would spread out in a flame,
When I shall go on high.

I have been a speckled snake on the hill,
I have been a viper in Llyn.
I have been a bill-hook crooked that cuts,
I have been a ferocious spear
With my chasuble and bowl
I will prophesy not badly.

Four score smokes
On every one that bring.
Five battalians of arms
Will be caught by my knife.
Six steads of yellow hue
A hundred times better is
my cream-colored steed,
Swift as the sea-mew
Which will not pass
Between the sea and the shore.

Am I not pre-eminent in the field of blood?
Over it are a hundred chieftains.

Crimson (is) the gem of my belt,
Gold my shield border.

There has not been born, in the gap,
That has been visiting me,
Except Goronwy,
From the dales of Edrywy.

Long white my fingers,
It is long since I have been a herdsman.

I have travelled the earth,
Before I was proficient in learning.
I have travelled, I made a circuit,
I slept in a hundred islands.
A hundred Caers I have dwelt in.

Ye intelligent Druids,
Declare to Arthur,
What is there more early
Than I that they sing of.

And one is come
From considering the deluge
And Christ crucified,
And the day of future doom.

A golden gem in a golden jewel.
I am splendid
And shall be wanton
From the oppression of the metal-workers.
