Dinas Maon
Black Book of Carmarthen XV

Dinas Maon, may God the blessed 
Sovereign defend it
What the sun will dry, Edar will moisten.

Dinas Maon, the dislike of Sovereigns,
Where kings were hewed down in the obstinate conflict.
What the sun will dry, Mervin will moisten.

Dinas Maon, the security of the country, 
May the protection of God surround it!
What the sun will dry, Nynaw will moisten.

Mad put his thigh on Merchin the gray steed, 
The fort of the brave will defend me.
What the sun will dry, Maelgwn will moisten.
