Price anwyl, pur ei wasanaeth diwyd
Eang ei wybodaeth;
Gwr o aspri, ffri a ffraeth,
A thrwyadl mewn athrawiaeth.

Dear Price, pure in his diligent service
Wide in his knowledge;
A man acerbic, fearless and fluent,
And thorough in doctrine.

Englyn (pronounced [ˈɛŋ.lɪn]; plural englynion) is a traditional Welsh short poem form. It uses quantitative metres, involving the counting of syllables, and rigid patterns of rhyme and half rhyme. Each line contains a repeating pattern of consonants and accent known as cynghanedd.
