The Meeting of the Chiefs

The chief men maintained the praise of rightful privilege, like a bright fire that has been well kindled.
On Tuesday they put on their dark covering.
On Wednesday their common purpose was bitter.
On Thursday envoys were pledged.
On Friday corpses were counted.
On Saturday their joint action was swift.
On Sunday their red blades were redistributed.
On Monday a stream of blood as high as the thigh was seen.
A Gododdin man tells that they would come back before Madawg`s tent after battle`s exaustion, but one man of a hundred used to return.
