idge enough for the armies of
the Three Islands of the Mighty and the three islands near
thereby, with all their spoils.) The sons of Llwch Llawyniog
from beyond the raging sea. Celi and Cueli and Gilla Coes Hydd,
(who could clear three hundred acres at a bound: the chief
leaper of Ireland was he). Sol and Gwadyn Ossol and Gwadyn
Odyeith. (Sol could stand all day upon one foot. Gwadyn Ossol,
if he stood upon the top of the highest mountain in the world, it
would become a level plain under his feet. Gwadyn Odyeith,--the
soles of his feet emitted sparks when they struck upon things
hard, like the heated mass drawn out of the forge. He cleared
the way for Arthur when they came to any stoppage.) Hireerwm and
Hiratrwm (the day they went upon a visit three cantref provided
for their entertainment, and they feasted until noon and drank
until night and they they devoured the heads of vermin as if they
had never eaten anything in their lives. When they made a visit
they left neither the fat not the lean, the hot nor the cold, the
sour nor the sweet, the fresh not the salt, the boiled nor the

the sea on which there were three hundred ships, so broad-chested
he was). Uchtryd Faryf Draws (who spread his red untrimmed beard
over the eight-and-forty rafters that were in Arthur's hall).
Bwlch and Cyfwlch and Sefwlch the three sons of Cleddyf Cyfwlch,
the three grandsons of Cleddyf Difwlch. (Their three shields
were three gleaming glitterers. Their three spears were three
pointed piercers. Their three swords were three griding
gashers,--Gles, and Glessic, and Gleisad.) Clust the son of
Clustfeinad; (though he were buried seven cubits beneath the
earth, he would hear the ant fifty miles off rise from her nest
in the norning). Medyr the son of Methredydd; (from Belli Wic
he could in a twinkling")--

Well; one must stop somewhere; Culhwch himself was in no hurry
to. He went on until the armies of the Island of the Mighty and
the chief ladies of Arthur's court, with all their peculiarities,
had been enumerated. But here, I say, you are let into an elder
world; beyond this one in space, beyond it in time. You are on
the precipice edge of the world's end, and mist fil
