To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It clearly proves that, to Meredydd ab Rhys, Madoc had the reputation of being fond of a seafaring life, and of being eminent as a fisherman ; but does it prove more than this ? The Rev. Thomas Price thought it did not ; and I confess that to be my opinion also ; for the expressions used were clearly intended to mark an opposition between sea and land, and to show that he preferred a sea life to landed possessions ; and it seems to me that they exclude the supposition that Madoc would have care...d for land anywhere, either in his own country or in foreign parts. And this view is supported by the concluding lines ; for how else could the bard say, ' Madog vvyf im hoes ' (' I am a Madog to 206 MADOC. my age ') ? The subject of comparison is evidently the pisca- torial character ; and the meaning of the bard certainly was that both St. Peter and Madoc resembled him in this respect. 1 The statement of leuan Brechva seems to come next in point of date, though, as we have neither the original words nor a specific reference to the work from which they are taken, we cannot speak very positively on this head.
