INCIPIT in lingua inglese
There is a medieval Welsh text known as Gramadegau’r Penceirddiaid, which translates as “the grammars of the chief poets.” From the 14th century onwards this collection of bardic grammars has been handed down through the bardic tradition, with each generation revising and adapting it to their needs. One of the things which is included in this collection of poetic instruction is a selection of triads. In Celtic society, triads were a common mnemonic to help remember important things. The bardic triads in Gramadegau’r Penceirddiaid were used to instruct apprentice bards. This makes them incredibly valuable for poets in the contemporary Celtic Christian tradition today

Esiste un testo gallese medievale noto come Gramadegau'r Penceirddiaid, che si traduce come "le grammatiche dei principali poeti". A partire dal XIV secolo questa raccolta di grammatiche bardiche è stata tramandata attraverso la tradizione bardica, e ogni generazione l'ha rivista e adattata alle proprie esigenze. Una delle cose incluse in questa raccolta di istruzioni poetiche è una selezione di triadi. Nella società celtica, le triadi erano un mnemonico comune per aiutare a ricordare le cose importanti. Le triadi bardiche in Gramadegau'r Penceirddiaid erano usate per istruire apprendisti bardi. Questo li rende incredibilmente preziosi per i poeti della tradizione cristiana celtica contemporanea di oggi.

I include the following poem outlining a series of bardic triads...When the text refers to Awen it means poetic inspiration, the illusive fount of poetry hidden inside the human heart.

Includo la seguente poesia che delinea una serie di triadi bardiche.. Quando il testo si riferisce ad Awen, intende l'ispirazione poetica, la divina fonte di poesia nascosta nel cuore umano.
Three things that make a poem strong
Depth of meaning, regularity of Welsh
And excellence of imagination
Three things that make a poem weak
Vulgar imagination, shallow meaning
And a lack of Welsh
Three things a poem likes
Clear declamation, skillful construction
And the authority of the bard
Three things a poem does not like
Feeble declamation, vulgar imagination
And the dishonour of the bard
Three things that make Awen for the bard
Genius, and practice, and art
Three things that impoverish a bard’s Awen
Drunkenness, lustfulness, and criticism
Three essentials for a bard
Liveliness of speech when declaiming a poem
Meditating upon poetic art to ensure it is not faulty
And the boldness of their answer to what they are asked
Three things that make a bard consistent
The telling of tales, contemporary poetry
And the poetry of old
