Four Ancient Books of Wales: Y. Poems Beginning ''Eiry Mynyd.'': CXIV. Red Book of Hergest IV

I. MOUNTAIN snow--every region is white; The raven is accustomed to sing. No good will come from long sleeping. II. Mountain snow--white the ravine; From the assault of the wind trees will bend. Many a two may mutually love, But never come together. III. Mountain snow--the wind scatters it; Broad the moon's orb, green the dock-leaves. The mischievous man is seldom without claim. IV. Mountain snow--fleet the hart; Common in Prydein is a daring race. Understanding is necessary for the alien. V. Mountain snow--the hart in the warmth; Ducks in the pond, white the foam. Slow is the aged, and easily overtaken. VI. Mountain snow--the hart is roaming; The countenance smiles on whom one loves. As long as a tale is told me, I know where there is disgrace. VII. Mountain snow--the strand is white and pebbly; The fishes in the ford may go to the cavern. Odious is he that imposes burdens. VIII. Mountain snow--the hart in the retreat; It is usual for a chieftain to have splendid arms, .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    . And for misfortune to fall on the beard. IX. Mountain snow--the hart is plump and round; I have said a great deal; if I am not mistaken, This is unlike a summer day. X. Mountain snow--the hart is hunted; The wind whistles over the eaves. Sin is a very great heap. XI. Mountain snow--the hart is leaping; The wind whistles over the high white wall. It is natural the calm should be graceful. XII. Mountain snow--the hart in the vale; The wind whistles above the house-top. Evil will not conceal itself where it is. XIII. Mountain snow--the hart on the strand; The aged has lost his juvenility. . . . makes a man captive. XIV. Mountain snow--the hart in the bush; Thoroughly black the raven; swift the young roebuck. If one is free and healthy, it is strange there should be complaining. XV. Mountain snow--the hart in the rushes; Cold the quagmire; the mead is in the brewing-tub. The injured is accustomed to complain. XVI. Mountain snow--variegated the front of the tower; Let the cattle seek shelter. Woe to the wife that should get a bad husband. XVII. Mountain snow--variegated the side of the cliff; Dried the stalk; the water-lily droops. Woe to the man that should have a bad wife. XVIII. Mountain snow--the hart in the ditch; Congenial to the thief is long night. Let the bees sleep in the shelter. XIX. Mountain snow--slow is The growth of the liverwort. The sluggard will not soon avenge an injury. XX. Mountain snow--the fish in the lake; Proud the hawk; people cluster around monarchs. Every one cannot get what he wishes. XXI. Mountain snow--red the top of the fir; Wrathful the push of many spears. Alas, for longing, my brethren XXII. Mountain snow--swift the wolf; The side of the desert he will penetrate. Every blemish is common on the destitute of zeal. XXIII. Mountain snow--not slow the hart; Rain falls from the sky. Sorrow produces complete depression of spirits. XXIV. Mountain snow--noisy the roebuck; The waves wash the margin of the strand; Let the skilful conceal his design. XXV. Mountain snow--the hart in the glen; Summer will be placid; calm the lake. The gray-bearded in frost has a strong support, XXVI. Mountain snow--variegated the breast of the goose; Strong my arm and shoulder. I pray that I may not be a hundred years old. XXVII. Mountain snow--bare the stalk-tops; Bent the branches of trees; the fish are in the deep. Where there is no learning there will be no natural gift. XXVIII. Mountain snow--the fish in the ford; Let the lean and stooping stag seek the sheltered vale. Longing for the dead will not avail. XXIX Mountain snow--the hart in the wood; The discreet will not walk on foot. The timid causes many a delay. XXX. Mountain snow--the hart on the slope; The wind whistles over the ash-tops. A third foot for the aged is his stick. XXXI. Mountain snow--the hart is upon it; The ducks are in the lake; white the water-lily. The vicious is not disposed to listen. XXXII. Mountain snow--ruddy the feet of hens; Shallow the water; it makes much noise. The disgrace that is boasted of is augmented. XXXIII. Mountain snow--nimble the hart; Hardly anything in the world interests me. Admonition to the depraved will not avail. XXXIV. Mountain snow--white its fleece; .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    . .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    .    . XXXV. Mountain snow--white the roofs of houses; If the tongue were to relate what the bosom knows, None would be neighbours. XXXVI. Mountain snow--let the wise move about in the day; Let every pensive one be ill, every bush bare. It is usual that the unwise should have all faults.
