did they, and they caused the
boy to be baptized, and the ceremony was performed there; {33} and the
name which they gave unto him, was Gwri Wallt Euryn, because what hair
was upon his head was as yellow as gold. And they had the boy nursed in
the court until he was a year old. And before the year was over, he
could walk stoutly. And he was larger than a boy of three years old,
even one of great growth and size. And the boy was nursed the second
year, and then he was as large as a child six years old. And before the
end of the fourth year, he would bribe the grooms to allow him to take
the horses to water. "My Lord," said his wife unto Teirnyon, "Where is
the colt which thou didst save on the night that thou foundest the boy?"
"I have commanded the grooms of the horses," said he, "that they take

enquired closely concerning it, until he had heard from many of those who
came to his court. Then did Teirnyon, often lamenting the sad history,
ponder within himself, and he looked steadfastly on the boy, and as he
looked upon him, it seemed to him that he had never beheld so great a
likeness between father and son, as between the boy and Pwyll, the chief
of Annwvyn. Now the semblance of Pwyll was well known to him, for he had
of yore been one of his followers. And thereupon he became grieved for
the wrong that he did, in keeping with him a boy whom he knew to be the
son of another man. And the first time that he was alone with his wife,
he told her, that it was not right that they should keep the boy with
them, and suffer so excellent a lady as Rhiannon to be punished so
greatly on his account, whereas the boy wa
