 XIV LAMENTATIONS Big Man despised Evan Rhiw, and said to the Respected Davydd Bern-Davydd, who then ruled from Capel Sion:

“Bern-Davydd, oppress Evan Rhiw. Go you off up and down the land now and say to the people: ‘Lo, you animals in the image of the Big Man, God’s blast is on the old male of Rhiw.’” Bern-Davydd descended from the top of the moor and did according as he had been commanded; and his words got to the ears of Evan, who said: “Why must I be confused, dear me, because of that crow without sense, Bern-Davydd? Call you reasons to me.”
