Then the beggar's rags dropped, and there stood forth the handsome leader, Powell. THEN THE BEGGAR'S RAGS DROPPED AND THERE STOOD FORTH THE HANDSOME LEADER PAUL
 claim his bride, and a great feast was spread in his honor. All were having a good time, when in the midst of their merriment, a beggar appeared in the hall. He was in rags, and carried the usual beggar's wallet for food or alms. He asked only that, out of the abundance on the table, his bag might be filled. Gwawl agreed, and ordered his servants to attend to the matter. But the bag never got full. What they put into it, or how much made no difference. Dish after dish was emptied. By degrees, most of the food on the table was in the beggar's bag. "My soul alive! Will that bag never get full?" asked Gwawl. "No, by Heaven! Not unless some rich man shall get into it, stamp it down with his feet, and call out 'enough.'" Then Rhiannon, who sat beside Gwawl, urged him to attempt the task, by putting his two feet in the bag to stamp it down. No sooner had Gwawl done this, than the supposed beggar pushed him down inside the bag. Then drawing the mouth shut, he tied it tight over Gwawl's head. SSED AND THEN GAWAWL APPEARED AGAIN TO CLAIM HIS BRIDE AND A GREAT FEAST WAS SPREAD IN HIS HONOUR ALL WERE HAVING A GOOD TIME WHEN IN THE MIDST OF THEIR MERRIMENT A BEGGAR APPEARED IN THE HALL HE WAS IN RAGS AND CARRIED THE USUAL BEGGAR'S WALLET FOR FOOD OR ALMS HE ASKED ONLY THAT OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE TABLE HIS BAG MIGHT BE FILLED GAWAWAL AGREED AND ORDERED HIS SERVANTS TO ATTEND TO THE MATTER BUT THE BAG NEVER GOT FULL WHAT THEY PUT INTO IT OR HOW MUCH MADE NO DIFFERENCE DISH AFTER DISH WAS EMPTIED BY DEGREES MOST OF THE FOOD ON THE TABLE WAS IN THE BEGGAR'S BAG MY SOUL ALIVE WILL THAT BAG NEVER GET FULL ASKED GAWALL NO BY HEAVEN NOT UNLESS SOME RICH MAN SHALL GET INTO IT STAMP DOWN WITH HIS FEET AND CALL OUT ENOUGH THEN RHIANNON WHO SAT BESIDE GAWALL URGED HIM TO ATTEMPT THE TASK BY PUTTING HIS TWO FEET IN THE BAG TO STAMP IT DOWN NO SOONER HAD GUAWL DONE THIS THAN THE SUPPOSED BEGGAR PUSHED HIM DOWN INSIDE THE BAG THEN DRAWING THE MOUTH SHUT HE TIED IT TIGHT OVER GWALL'S HEAD
