Abstract

Abstract:On two occasions in the Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi, the figure of Gwydion presents himself in a court as a poet and provides entertainment, presumably in prose, in the form of cyfarwyddyd, a term that has been variously interpreted as ‘stories’ and ‘lore’. Little attention has been paid, however, to the episode in which Gwydion actually composes and recites poetry, the three englynion that he addresses to his nephew Lleu. This article examines those englynion—their vocabulary, function, and effect—and discusses the possible intentions of the Fourth Branch author in representing the magician Gwydion as an accomplished poet.

Cyfarwydd作为诗人在第四分支的马比诺基
摘要:在《马比诺纪》的第四部中,格威迪翁的形象有两次以诗人的身份出现在宫廷中,并以cyfarwyddyd的形式提供娱乐,可能是散文,cyfarwyddyd这个词被不同地解释为“故事”和“爱情”。然而,很少有人注意到格维迪恩真正创作和背诵诗歌的那一段,他对他的侄子Lleu说了三句英语。本文考察了这些英语语言——它们的词汇、功能和效果——并讨论了第四分支作者将魔术师格威迪翁描绘成一位有成就的诗人的可能意图。
