Trecheng

 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.

Triads of privilege and usage

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.”
