On Tuesday the first day of March in the grave to die he went to lie. There were on his grave, good end, fine clergy singing a gloria, angels of heaven on the bank of a stream after his funeral. The soul of a man who is buried in the cemetery of David of Menevia above all other land, it is not vain, will not be condemned to the pit of hell; no filthy devil will ever tread on his land for all the world’s wealth. If there were in a book of paper every day as on a long summer’s day one of the same nature as a public notary with ink and steel-tipped pen writing, it was profit, his famous life, hardly, however good he were, would he ever manage to write in three days and a full year all the miracles which he performed. from Mawl i Ddewi Sant: In praise of Saint David, c.1380-1400 by Iolo Goch (1320-1398), edited by Dafydd Johnston (b.1955) O Almighty God, who in thy providence didst choose thy servant David to be an apostle to the people of Wales, to bring those who were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and knowledge of thee: grant us, by his intercession, so to walk in that light; that we may come at last to the light of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen. - Divine Worship: The Missal.
