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.”
