Englynion Gwydion
Englynion Gwydion is the name sometimes used to refer to a series of three englyn (Welsh plural englynion) composed by Gwydion to call to him the wounded Lleu Llaw Gyffes. It appears in the fourth branch of the Mabinogi, the tale of Math fab Mathonwy:
- Cymraeg/Welsh
- Derwen a dyf rhwng dau lyn
- yn cysgodi'n dawel awyr a glyn
- oni ddywedaf i gelwydd
- o flodau Lleu y mae hyn.
- Derwen a dyf mewn maes uchel
- nis gwlych glaw, nis tawdd gwres
- cynhaliodd ugain dawn
- ar ei brig Lleu Llaw Gyffes.
- Derwen a dyf dan lechwedd
- noddfa tywysog hardd
- oni ddywedaf i gelwydd
- fe ddaw Lleu i'm harffed.

- Saesneg/English
- Oak that grows between two lakes;
- Darkening gently sky and glen
- Unless I tell a lie,
- From the flowers of Lleu are these.
- Oak that grows in upland ground,
- Rain wets it not, heat burns it not
- It contained twenty gifts
- It bears in its branches Lleu of the Skillful Hand.
- Oak that grows beneath the slope
- Shelter of a fair prince
- Unless I tell a lie
- Lleu will come to my lap.
