- As day declined he came past the gate of the court,
- And as the night was drawing near,
- She sent messengers to ask the chieftain in.
- And she came out herself to meet him,
- To make him welcome and give greeting.
- When they changed their garb and sat down.
- Blodeuedd looked on him, and no part of her
- Was not filled with burning love of him.
- And he did not conceal that he loved her too.
- Then that night they slept together.
- And on the morrow he sought to depart.
- But she made him stay another night,
- And they took counsel how they might stay together.
- And a third night he stayed there, only the next day
- When he sought to depart she did not prevent him.
- ÔNow,Õ said he, Ôspeak closely with him,
- And under pretence of love for him, draw from him
- What way his death might be brought about.Õ
