Primary chief bard am I to Elphin
And my original country is the region of the Summer Stars
Idno and Heinin called me Merddin
At length every king will call me Taliesin
I was with my Lord in the highest sphere
On the fall of Lucifer into the depth of hell
I have borne a banner before Alexander
I know the names of the stars from north to south
I have been in the Galaxy at the throne of the Distributor
I was in Canaan when Absalom was slain
I conveyed Awen to the level of the vale of Hebron
I was in the court of Dôn before the birth of Gwydion
I was instructor to Eli and Enoch
I have been winged by the genius of the splendid crozier
I have been loquacious prior to being gifted with speech
I was at the place of the crucifixion of the merciful son of God
I have been three periods in the prison of Arianrhod
I have been the chief director of the work of the tower of Nimrod
I am a wonder whose origin is not known
I have been in Asia with Noah in the Ark
I have witnessed the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah
I have been in India when Roma what built
I am now come here to the remnant of Troia
I have been with my Lord in the manger of the ass
I strengthened Moses through the water of Jordan
I have been in the firmament with Mary Magdalene
I have obtained the muse from the Cauldron of Cerridwen
I have been bard of the harp to Lleon of Lochlin
I have been on the White Hill, in the court of Cynvelyn
For a day and a year in stocks and fetters
I have suffered hunger for the Son of the Virgin
I have been fostered in the land of the Deity
I have been teacher to all intelligences
I am able to instruct the whole universe
I shall be until the day of doom on the face of the earth
And it is not known whether my body is flesh or fish

Then I was for nine months
In the womb of the hag Cerridwen
I was originally little Gwion
And at length I am Taliesin

"May the road rise to meet you"
