Those already familiar with classical Bardism in its various national manifestations will no doubt recognizein these my use of the so-called forgeries of Iolo Morgannwyg of which these are an adaptation( to Canadian (rather than Welsh Use). Being the closest thing to a Druid survival I figure it makes a good starting point.
Here follow some moral triads:
“Hast thou heard what Dremhidydd sung,
An ancient watchman on the castle walls?
A refusal is better than a promise unperformed.”
“Hast thou heard what Llenleawg sung,
The noble chief wearing the golden torques?
The grave is better than a life of want.”
“Hast thou heard what Garselit sung,
The Irishman whom it is safe to follow?
Sin is bad, if long pursued.”
“Hast thou heard what Avaon sung,
The son of Taliesin, of the recording verse?
The cheek will not conceal the anguish of the heart.”
“Didst thou hear what Llywarch sung,
The intrepid and brave old man?
Greet kindly, though there be no acquaintance.”
