from The Physicians of Myddfai - Anonymous

Brindled cow, white speckled,
Spotted cow, bold freckled,
The four field sward mottled,
The old white-faced,
And the grey Geingen,
With the white Bull,
From the court of the King;
And the little black calf
Tho' suspended on the hook,
Come thou also, quite well home!

The four grey oxen,
That are on the field,
Come you also
Quite well home!

Anonymous (13th century) Wales
