Llinellau gan Gawain (Cyfanswm: 112)

 
(1, 1) 370 Where's the armourer, boy?
 
(1, 1) 372 He will return?
 
(1, 1) 374 Good! Heed me not! I know that ye are pressed.
 
(1, 1) 402 I think it is.
 
(1, 1) 405 It's well enough. I trust it may be marked
(1, 1) 406 Of all to-morrow.
 
(1, 1) 409 And what is that?
 
(1, 1) 412 Be not too confident.
 
(1, 1) 417 Be gentler, Agravaine,
(1, 1) 418 This pride of bearing will not make thee loved.
 
(1, 1) 423 Welcome, too, Geraint,
(1, 1) 424 Wilt break a lance to-morrow?
 
(1, 1) 428 My brother there is anxious to advance
(1, 1) 429 His name and honour.
 
(1, 1) 432 True,
(1, 1) 433 But he flies high.
 
(1, 1) 514 Good cousin!
 
(1, 1) 524 Tis not our custom.
 
(1, 1) 576 This is not right, Geraint.
 
(1, 1) 578 The greater folly —
 
(1, 1) 584 You are too free, Geraint.
 
(1, 1) 590 Let him prove himself.
 
(1, 1) 613 I fear it is so.
 
(3, 3) 2283 Sire?
 
(3, 3) 2292 There are none.
 
(3, 3) 2301 You do not trust us?
 
(3, 3) 2308 Sire, there is no doubt
(3, 3) 2309 The Picts are up, have crossed the Linnuis
(3, 3) 2310 And march on us. Also the messengers
(3, 3) 2311 Bring word the Angles are renewed and helped
(3, 3) 2312 From out their coasts.
 
(3, 3) 2318 Here? Geraint, alone,
(3, 3) 2319 And his own levies.
 
(3, 3) 2321 An hour will find them.
 
(3, 3) 2336 I will go.
 
(3, 3) 2341 Gainst the Picts, say I.
(3, 3) 2342 They have a foothold in the northern lands,
(3, 3) 2343 And ever hang upon our outer march,
(3, 3) 2344 Primed for eruption.
 
(3, 3) 2695 Thy pardon, sire, I have sent forth the call
(3, 3) 2696 To bid our forces gather with all speed;
(3, 3) 2697 Also fresh news from Persant in the north.
 
(3, 3) 2699 The Angles march in strength.
 
(3, 3) 2701 Toward the wood of Celyddon.
 
(3, 3) 2709 Sire, Sir Lanval waits
(3, 3) 2710 To speak with thee if thou hast space to hear
(3, 3) 2711 Of his petition.
 
(3, 3) 2866 Sire!
 
(4, 1) 2981 He was much noted that he paid no heed
(4, 1) 2982 To such adventures.
 
(4, 1) 3041 Why should we delay?
(4, 1) 3042 Are we not bound by laws of chivalry?
(4, 1) 3043 We much condemn such action as this man
(4, 1) 3044 Acknowledges. For to excuse this fault
(4, 1) 3045 Were to lend men too great a power of scorn.
(4, 1) 3046 We have some name for honour in the world.
(4, 1) 3047 Shall we give cause that all may say of us,
(4, 1) 3048 "Thus do his vassals honour Arthur's wife!
(4, 1) 3049 This is the kindness and nobility
(4, 1) 3050 Of British princes!"? Is not all our state
(4, 1) 3051 Based upon customs which this man offends?
(4, 1) 3052 The law condemns him.
 
(4, 1) 3058 Am I the prisoner?
(4, 1) 3059 And must I answer for my honour now?
 
(4, 1) 3066 As well as I
(4, 1) 3067 Shall answer for. My failing gives no grace,
(4, 1) 3068 No right of entry to our counselling.
(4, 1) 3069 Stay by your rhyming Agravaine, and leave
(4, 1) 3070 This cause to us.
 
(4, 1) 3073 Poor it is!
 
(4, 1) 3077 This concerns you not.
 
(4, 1) 3112 Come, this goes too far;
(4, 1) 3113 An' I were not your brother —
 
(4, 1) 3129 I do regret, Cador,
(4, 1) 3130 This idle treatment of the very crime
(4, 1) 3131 That suckles evil. Is not chivalry
(4, 1) 3132 Ordained to tread such humours to the ground?
 
(4, 1) 3137 But still it is our law.
(4, 1) 3138 If knightliness be nothing, what are we?
 
(4, 1) 3145 Death is the simplest way
(4, 1) 3146 To free ourselves from all embarrassment.
 
(4, 1) 3168 Is it not enough
(4, 1) 3169 That our agreement smoulders into wrath?
(4, 1) 3170 What skill or courage balances the state
(4, 1) 3171 Of festering discord and half-veiled mistrust,
(4, 1) 3172 That we must enter if he stay with us?
(4, 1) 3173 Come, let the winds of resolution sweep
(4, 1) 3174 Away this mist wherein our souls do stand
(4, 1) 3175 Fiercely opponent.
 
(4, 1) 3182 Three are well agreed.
 
(4, 1) 3187 Are we slighted thus?
(4, 1) 3188 This is rebellion!
 
(4, 1) 3206 Is this a time for threats,
(4, 1) 3207 An hour wherein to gender civil strife?
 
(4, 1) 3225 Before this failing he had all the gifts
(4, 1) 3226 Of chivalry.
 
(4, 1) 3256 What power have we that are the instruments
(4, 1) 3257 Of law and custom?
 
(4, 1) 3284 Owain is right. Let it be banishment.
 
(4, 1) 3328 Is this not treason?
 
(4, 2) 4065 Well for us,
(4, 2) 4066 Our slender van has held most gallantly
(4, 2) 4067 The ridge beyond us.
 
(4, 2) 4069 Geraint
(4, 2) 4070 Is dead.
 
(4, 2) 4072 But Owain
(4, 2) 4073 Doth hold the field. The Angles are confused
(4, 2) 4074 And stand uncertain. We have but to strike.
 
(4, 2) 4076 I know not how it comes,
(4, 2) 4077 But if some spirit who did favour us
(4, 2) 4078 Designed this moment, he could not do more
(4, 2) 4079 For victory.
