“Taliesin, don’t be sad if you’re alone
on Ynys Môn you have battled mightily,
despair will bring us no advantage
no woman sees what supports her.
Courage is invisible. Study The Mabinogion
God will not violate his promises.
We must suffer in Gwyddno’s weir
where our stand against the Saesneg invaders
will end in defeat! We must learn how to fail
better, being sad will not avail, listen to the Druids.
We have fought the Saesneg all our lives.
Too much grief brings evil in its wake;
no doubt you have loved for your soul’s sake:
it is a hard and bitter thing when loved ones die,
you trudged across the mountains and the sky,
always out-numbered, always heading west, to defeat.
God brings such suffering to the fortunate few.
Remember, you are a bard, a mother and a warrior too
your resolution must be firm and sustained unto death;
thou must not be over sorrowful:
if you are to die in a ditch, then so be it.
Keep an eye upon the sky, birds are our scouts,
kneel on the foaming beach of the ocean,
thank God for the lives of the Cymraeg
seek out and mix with the wise ones,
do not be displeased at thy misfortune;
all days are a fortune sent from God,
thou art blessed with virtue in thy tongue.
The sky is your protector: watch the birds
thou hast nothing to fear only life and death;
remember always the names of the holy Trinity,
none shall be able to truly harm thee dearest Tailesin.”
