Woman of Flowers, Blodeuwedd

Llinellau gan Gronw (Cyfanswm: 265)

 
(1, 0) 318 Of food and drink, yes.
 
(1, 0) 320 Don't ask, Lady.
 
(1, 0) 322 I don't fear anything
(1, 0) 323 Except for losing honour and reputation.
 
(1, 0) 325 Lady, is there a way from here tonight?
 
(1, 0) 328 Is there a servant who could show us the way?
 
(1, 0) 330 You?
 
(1, 0) 333 Is it true you were conjured from wild flowers?
 
(1, 0) 345 The world's rose.
 
(1, 0) 352 What do you want?
 
(1, 0) 355 From the moment I saw you, I loved you.
 
(1, 0) 357 You are already married – and at your husband's table
(1, 0) 358 I've sat and supped. Wasn't I
(1, 0) 359 Duty bound to respect his rights?
 
(1, 0) 361 Oh, I'm so lost in my lust for you,
(1, 0) 362 That I cannot think of duty nor of honour now.
(1, 0) 363 Your face, my fair goddess, is the sphere,
(1, 0) 364 Where the world's wonders abide,
(1, 0) 365 Which have entranced me to forget
(1, 0) 366 Rules and propriety. You are for me
(1, 0) 367 Hope's far limit, haven of my dreams
(1, 0) 368 Where I wish to anchor my lusty youth.
 
(1, 0) 370 No, never again.
 
(1, 0) 373 They are forgotten.
 
(1, 0) 394 Who knows his future.
(1, 0) 395 What would it profit a man
(1, 0) 396 To forfeit a tender tonight for some tomorrow
(1, 0) 397 That might be an empty hope. Tonight exists, excites me.
(1, 0) 398 We were thrown together; how could I leave this
(1, 0) 399 And lose it like a dream too soon disturbed,
(1, 0) 400 And spurn this gift from the gods. I've chosen.
(1, 0) 401 Your beauty is queen of my intentions,
(1, 0) 402 Your will is now enthroned to rule my soul.
 
(1, 0) 419 I'll drink and pledge to you undying love...
 
(1, 0) 430 Let this cup, where your lips have touched
(1, 0) 431 Be a foretaste of your kisses. Tonight
(1, 0) 432 I would be happy to die in your arms, woman,
(1, 0) 433 Rather than wake without you in some tomorrow.
 
(1, 0) 442 Who can tell... Your face, your form, your walk
(1, 0) 443 And your body's beauty burning through your dress.
 
(2, 0) 482 Go to them. I'll join you presently.
 
(2, 0) 485 Or stay here and be killed.
 
(2, 0) 488 His men are here all around.
(2, 0) 489 He himself returns today.
 
(2, 0) 504 Was it for this, Blodeuwedd,
(2, 0) 505 I was enchanted and tried to capture you.
(2, 0) 506 To find in you fulfilment, and now to leave
(2, 0) 507 With expectations dashed, and us divided?
 
(2, 0) 516 And do you know all that's in your world?
 
(2, 0) 531 Do you want
(2, 0) 532 This day to mark the end of our love?
 
(2, 0) 536 And Llew Llaw Gyffes?
 
(2, 0) 540 We must look upon our fear
(2, 0) 541 And name it – that we need not fear.
 
(2, 0) 543 Yes. Come away with me. This morning, now.
 
(2, 0) 545 To my fortress.
(2, 0) 546 The horses stand ready at the gates.
(2, 0) 547 Our freedom is in those stirrups. Let the Llew
(2, 0) 548 Come to his lair and find it empty.
(2, 0) 549 From my battlements we'll brave his roar.
 
(2, 0) 557 Blodeuwedd, what's a court
(2, 0) 558 Or a kingdom to us? We'll flee to far Dyfed
(2, 0) 559 Where Math's enemies will welcome us
(2, 0) 560 And give us sanctuary.
 
(2, 0) 567 Man is more caring than you credit.
 
(2, 0) 574 What shall we do?
 
(2, 0) 576 Is that your advice?
 
(2, 0) 578 Can you forget all this so easily?
 
(2, 0) 581 I can't ever forget.
 
(2, 0) 584 Do you want to forget?
 
(2, 0) 586 I'd rather die.
 
(2, 0) 596 That's the only way. We must kill him.
 
(2, 0) 598 I wouldn't wish him dead, unless it needs be so...
 
(2, 0) 603 Is there a way to kill him?
 
(2, 0) 607 Is fate itself the enemy of our love?
 
(2, 0) 611 How beautiful scorn is upon your lips.
(2, 0) 612 I know of one rose rarer than love itself
(2, 0) 613 Which flower drives me to risk my life
(2, 0) 614 And plot betrayal of your unwitting lord.
(2, 0) 615 Tell me, how do we discover the secret of his death?
 
(2, 0) 623 And prise from him the greatest mystery he possesses.
 
(2, 0) 626 This moment
(2, 0) 627 If I had to choose between the two
(2, 0) 628 Like a moth to a flame I'd fly to you.
 
(2, 0) 632 Leave that to me. If a man's hand
(2, 0) 633 Can destroy him – send me word.
(2, 0) 634 And when our day comes to hatch this plot
(2, 0) 635 I'll count each hour I've been away from you
(2, 0) 636 And in the blow that splices him
(2, 0) 637 I'll count each morning, noon and night
(2, 0) 638 Of missing you, and that stored longing
(2, 0) 639 Will take its revenge upon his corpse.
 
(2, 0) 643 I must go.
 
(2, 0) 645 Do you doubt my fidelity?
 
(2, 0) 652 Shall I hear from you tonight.
 
(2, 0) 654 This parting is my nightfall, and now my sunset.
(2, 0) 655 My love, farewell.
 
(3, 0) 914 I've come, Blodeuwedd.
 
(3, 0) 918 Beautiful bloom
(3, 0) 919 I've thirsted a year for a taste of you.
(3, 0) 920 Suffered too long an abstinence from your arms.
(3, 0) 921 And you tell me not to hold you.
 
(3, 0) 924 And into mine?
 
(3, 0) 928 I worked on it for a year, on Sunday after Sunday
(3, 0) 929 At the hour of Sacrifice. This weapon cost dear
(3, 0) 930 A soul's perdition lies in her point.
 
(3, 0) 934 Don't mock me woman. Your fierce beauty
(3, 0) 935 Is the fate I choose. Sunday after Sunday
(3, 0) 936 Until this moment. A vast year yawned
(3, 0) 937 As if unending since I last saw you.
(3, 0) 938 Roses withered, berries died,
(3, 0) 939 Leaves fell. Sun and moon scrawled
(3, 0) 940 The months in slow circumscriptions.
(3, 0) 941 My days stood still
(3, 0) 942 Refusing to move with the seasons' shifts,
(3, 0) 943 Skewered by the imprint of those lips.
(3, 0) 944 The furnace of your kisses
(3, 0) 945 Honed the steel of this spear.
 
(3, 0) 956 What's your plan?
 
(3, 0) 958 Penllyn's Captain of the Horse.
(3, 0) 959 The guards are there in the wood,
(3, 0) 960 A hundred horsemen awaiting this man's command.
 
(3, 0) 974 Will he come?
 
(3, 0) 977 And what was last night's promise?
 
(3, 0) 979 How shall I kill him?
 
(3, 0) 988 Will you get him to climb the trough?
 
(3, 0) 991 My blow has been aimed this last year
(3, 0) 992 And I'll not fail. His death is not
(3, 0) 993 The goal. Beyond his corpse lies your kiss.
(3, 0) 994 That's the assurance that guides my spear.
(3, 0) 995 Only a long life, Blodeuwedd, will quench
(3, 0) 996 The thirst that's parched my soul these twelve moons.
(3, 0) 997 How long this year's been. How short I see
(3, 0) 998 The years that are left to live.
 
(3, 0) 1001 Will Ardudwy accept a new lord quietly?
 
(3, 0) 1005 I heard that he's popular with his people.
 
(3, 0) 1007 Not one of his men will wish revenge?
 
(3, 0) 1010 You've learnt the craft of ruling already, lady.
 
(3, 0) 1166 Like this.
 
(3, 0) 1170 Is he dead?
 
(3, 0) 1174 The poison won't fail. Not even Gwydion
(3, 0) 1175 And all his sorcery can undo this death.
 
(3, 0) 1180 I never knew a better ending to a story...
(3, 0) 1181 Yes, he's dead.
 
(3, 0) 1183 Look, the sun's upon the hill.
 
(3, 0) 1186 Let's go take the fortress.
 
(3, 0) 1189 Come Blodeuwedd. This isn't the time to ponder...
 
(3, 0) 1191 I'll send soldiers to bury him this afternoon.
 
(3, 0) 1193 Those are my men.
 
(3, 0) 1195 Perhaps they left someone on guard.
 
(3, 0) 1197 His spirit wouldn't sound like jangling armour.
 
(3, 0) 1200 Come girl. You sound like some old owl,
(3, 0) 1201 Not yourself. We'll go to the fort, to secure
(3, 0) 1202 Our new estate. We must move, come.
 
(4, 0) 1364 I heard everything.
 
(4, 0) 1366 What does the enemy number?
 
(4, 0) 1368 And ours?
 
(4, 0) 1372 It was wise to get the guards and horses ready.
(4, 0) 1373 We can't defend the fort.
 
(4, 0) 1376 Are the men gathered?
 
(4, 0) 1379 When will the enemy arrive?
 
(4, 0) 1382 You've always had wisdom and fortitude.
(4, 0) 1383 I'll give you the rights to the lands of Penllyn
(4, 0) 1384 And its inheritance to your children after you.
(4, 0) 1385 I place in your trust this lady, her well-being,
(4, 0) 1386 And her maid, Rhagnell. Give them safe shelter
(4, 0) 1387 From Gwydion's wrath, from the Llew's claws.
(4, 0) 1388 Send messengers to Caer Dathal
(4, 0) 1389 To King Math. Offer him recompense
(4, 0) 1390 To stave off his destruction of your lands.
(4, 0) 1391 Rule the kingdom in a wiser way than I.
(4, 0) 1392 I'll stay here to wait, and brave
(4, 0) 1393 Llew Llaw Gyffes. He'll want retribution
(4, 0) 1394 For the shame I brought him. You three however,
(4, 0) 1395 Should be allowed to flee to safety.
 
(4, 0) 1399 Do as I say. I'm staying here
(4, 0) 1400 To face the Llew when he returns to his lair.
 
(4, 0) 1402 Go, Rhagnell, hurry
(4, 0) 1403 To collect your mistress's things for the journey.
 
(4, 0) 1406 No, I shan't come.
(4, 0) 1407 I've lived with this madness for too long.
(4, 0) 1408 No longer. Neither will I drag revenge
(4, 0) 1409 On my innocent subjects, nor ruin
(4, 0) 1410 On my inheritance.
 
(4, 0) 1414 If we did that, Math would spit
(4, 0) 1415 His venom on Penllyn's virgin acres
(4, 0) 1416 Whilst I was fleeing, for fear, in a woman's arms.
 
(4, 0) 1420 You're right to chide me
(4, 0) 1421 And your proposition's fair.
(4, 0) 1422 It's fair too for me to refuse. I owe a debt
(4, 0) 1423 To Ardudwy's Llew. I'll repay it today.
(4, 0) 1424 Here, alone, without anyone's support.
 
(4, 0) 1430 Don't tarry – go.
 
(4, 0) 1432 Don't touch me woman. The hour's come.
(4, 0) 1433 We must part. You have a journey ahead of you.
 
(4, 0) 1436 Your husband lives. He'll be here now.
(4, 0) 1437 You cannot stay.
 
(4, 0) 1440 Brave captain. I've given you my estates.
(4, 0) 1441 Give me your word that this fine woman
(4, 0) 1442 Will enjoy respect in Penllyn under your protection.
 
(4, 0) 1446 Hurry, Blodeuwedd. Where's your maid. Rhagnell?
 
(4, 0) 1448 Left? To go where?
 
(4, 0) 1451 You can't wait for her.
 
(4, 0) 1458 And why not?
(4, 0) 1459 You came to me across his corpse
(4, 0) 1460 He'll reclaim you, like Helen,
(4, 0) 1461 Across my corpse. Go, Penteulu,
(4, 0) 1462 Take your men and flee. You'll see tonight
(4, 0) 1463 The lapping waves of Meloch and Tryweryn
(4, 0) 1464 And the smoke rising from Llanfor, and me there, a lad...
(4, 0) 1465 Yes. Go now. Hurry.
 
(4, 0) 1472 And turned this fort into a prison.
 
(4, 0) 1474 We won't be alone for long. We'll soon have company.
 
(4, 0) 1476 I wouldn't be too surprised
(4, 0) 1477 To see her arrive with Gwydion.
 
(4, 0) 1481 Remember? Too well. There's no pain
(4, 0) 1482 Like failing to cast out a waking nightmare.
 
(4, 0) 1484 You needn't. I must. It's my fate.
 
(4, 0) 1487 It's not my turn to strike. Not this time.
 
(4, 0) 1490 I can forego his mercy. I'll settle for
(4, 0) 1491 The stab of his spear.
 
(4, 0) 1493 How long it's taken you to read my mind.
 
(4, 0) 1495 A final hour of freedom.
 
(4, 0) 1499 Freedom's here. Here with you.
 
(4, 0) 1504 My freedom doesn't lie in your arms.
(4, 0) 1505 It's in having you here when my end comes
(4, 0) 1506 And in choosing death, your sister, before you.
 
(4, 0) 1511 You needn't worry. I don't expect your death
(4, 0) 1512 Will save my life. I've only minutes
(4, 0) 1513 Left to live. Your husband, woman,
(4, 0) 1514 Is coming and so is my death. I choose that.
(4, 0) 1515 It's in that choice that I find my freedom.
 
(4, 0) 1517 I can't escape from you except through death.
(4, 0) 1518 The poison of your kisses circulates in my blood.
(4, 0) 1519 Why should I live on? To taste for a lifetime
(4, 0) 1520 That which I've already experienced,
(4, 0) 1521 Sating the body till surfeit sets in.
(4, 0) 1522 And the staleness, the shame, that follows indulgence?
(4, 0) 1523 Your love is a grave, not a future. No child
(4, 0) 1524 Will laugh in those arms; there's no cradle in our keep.
(4, 0) 1525 But in the deep of night there's the sound
(4, 0) 1526 Of a lunatic crying, howling on the breasts
(4, 0) 1527 Of darkness and chewing on dirt, urged on
(4, 0) 1528 By the mocking screech of an owl.
(4, 0) 1529 I lost the paths of humankind, to follow
(4, 0) 1530 Torches to a quagmire, and I sank. I sought
(4, 0) 1531 To grasp at a star; a clawing bat clung to my face.
(4, 0) 1532 Today a bolt has struck me, and I woke up.
(4, 0) 1533 I see Penllyn again. I see my childhood there.
(4, 0) 1534 Then I see myself as I am now. Oh, filthy!
(4, 0) 1535 And your stare spearing me. I'd rather
(4, 0) 1536 His sword than your kisses.
 
(4, 0) 1545 All dispersed.
(4, 0) 1546 I alone struck you. You needn't seek others
(4, 0) 1547 On whom to vent your wrath.
 
(4, 0) 1552 Lord, your men don't need to tie me; I stayed
(4, 0) 1553 To do your will. I'm ready for your revenge standing.
(4, 0) 1554 As free as you yourself stood on the goat trough.
 
(4, 0) 1561 What do you want lord?
 
(4, 0) 1563 You have a right to that. I'll yield it gladly.
 
(4, 0) 1575 Comrade, how will you want to kill me?
 
(4, 0) 1583 No tears either, but a welcome to death.
(4, 0) 1584 I'll come back among mankind by passing through
(4, 0) 1585 Those common gates that claim all mortals.
(4, 0) 1586 Thank you, Sir.
