Reading the best #medieval #poet : Gwerful Mechain

"A lad beside the bush

I'd give a thousand girls, I'd give a gentle - a damsel,
Where I tried to wait,
I'd give a great moan, I'd give a hundred maidens
For one lad beside the bush"

Same Gwerful, same

@mochynbrwnt you just reminded me that I've been meaning to buy the collected works. Diolch!
