It was not alone by the strength and fierceness of King Math, but also by the magic spells of Gwyd, that Pryderi was slain. IT WAS NOT ALONE BY THE STRENGTH AND FIERCENESS OF KING MATH BUT ALSO BY THE MAGIC SPELLS OF GWYD THAT PRIDARY WAS SLAIN
ce with delight. So Pryderi gave Gwyd the swine, and he quickly drove them off. "For," he whispered to his companion fellows in knavery, "the illusion will only last until the same hour to-morrow." And so it happened. For when Pryderi's men went to the stables, to groom the horses and feed the hounds, there was nothing in either the stables or the kennels. When they told this to Pryderi, he at once blew his horn and assembled his knights, to invade the country of Gwynedd, to recover his swine. Hearing of his coming, King Math went out to meet Pryderi in battle. But while he was away with his army, Gily, the lover, seized the beautiful maiden Goewen, who held the king's feet in her lap. She was not willing to marry Gily, but he eloped with her, and carried her off to his cottage. The war which now raged was finally decided by single combat, as was the custom in old days. By this, the burning of the peasants' houses, and the ruin which threatened the whole country, ended, and peace came.  A SIGHT TO MAKE A HUNTER'S EYES DANCE WITH DELIGHT SO PRYDARY GAVE GWYDD THE SWINE AND HE QUICKLY DROVE THEM OFF FOR HE WHISPERED TO HIS COMPANION FELLOWS IN KNAVERY THE ILLUSION WILL ONLY LAST UNTIL THE SAME HOUR TO MORROW AND SO IT HAPPENED FOR WHEN PRIDARY'S MEN WENT TO THE STABLES TO GROOM THE HORSES AND FEED THE HOUNDS THERE WAS NOTHING IN EITHER THE STABLES OR THE KENNELS WHEN THEY TOLD THIS TO PRYDARY HE AT ONCE BLEW HIS HORN AND ASSEMBLED HIS KNIGHTS TO INVADE THE COUNTRY OF GWEND TO RECOVER HIS SWINE HEARING OF HIS COMING KING MATH WENT OUT TO MEET PRIDARY IN BATTLE BUT WHILE HE WAS AWAY WITH HIS ARMY GILLI THE LOVER SEIZED THE BEAUTIFUL MAIDEN GO IN WHO HELD THE KING'S FEET IN HER LAP SHE WAS NOT WILLING TO MARRY GILLY BUT HE LOOKED WITH HER AND CARRIED HER OFF TO HIS COTTAGE THE WAR WHICH NOW RAGED WAS FINALLY DECIDED BY SINGLE COMBAT AS WAS THE CUSTOM IN OLD DAYS BY THIS THE BURNING OF THE PEASANTS HOUSES AND THE RUIN WHICH THREATENED THE WHOLE COUNTRY ENDED AND PEACE CAME
