Unlliw ag eiry neu wenlloer,
Dilwch yw dy degwch di,
Darn fel haul, dyrnfol, heli.

• O sea-bird, beautiful upon the tides,
  White as the moon is when the night abides,
  Or snow untouched, whose dustless splendour glows
  Bright as a sunbeam and whose white wing throws
  A glove of challenge on the salt sea-flood.
• Dafydd ap Gwilym, "Yr Wylan" (To the Sea-gull), line 1; translation from Robert Gurney (ed. and trans.) Bardic Heritage (London: Chatto & Windus, 1969), p. 130
