.GWIL'YM (Dafydd ap), a celebrated Welfli poet 
G Y E 
of the fourteenth century, called, by fray of pre-emi¬ 
nence, the Weljk Anacreon. Endowed with a fine genius,, 
which he very confiderably cultivated; a refident of 
Wales, profeffing freedom of thought not lefs openly 
than the amatory poets of Greece and Rome, and in 
pouring out his ffiafts againft the fuperftition of the 
times, he points to a ftate of pure fociety among the fe- 
queftered Welfli, of which his works, and the confide- 
ration in which he was held, are almofl the foie evi¬ 
dence. Mr. Bingley, in his Hiftory of North Wales, 
relates a pleafing anecdote with refpeCt to him : “ Be¬ 
tween Dafydd ap Gwilym, and Gryffydd Grug, an An¬ 
glefea bard, a man of confiderable genius and learning, 
there was a rivalfliip for fame, which produced many 
mafterly compofitions on each fide. This contention 
had been carried on for a long time, and with great ani- 
mofity, when a Welffiman of the name of Bola Bauol 
offered a wager, which was immediately accepted, that 
he would effetl their reconciliation. “He fliortly after¬ 
wards went into North Wales, and induftrioufly circu¬ 
lated a report of the death of Dafydd ap Gwilym. 
This fo much affeCted his rival, that, laying afide every 
other feeling, in the poignancy of his grief, he wrote 
an elegy, bewailing the lofs of his frifcnd in the rnoft 
affectionate terms. Bola, having in the meantime con¬ 
trived to circulate a ftory of the fame nature in South 
Wales, of the death of Gryffydd Grug, was much 
pleafed on his return, to find that Dafydd had alfo writ¬ 
ten a pathetic elegy on his opponent. He thus fuc- 
ceeded according to his expectations; for, on difeo- 
vering to each the real fentiments of the other, they 
forgave the frolic, and ever afterwards remained firm 
friends.” 
The works of this celebrated bard poffefs harmony, 
invention, elegance, and perfpicuity. The powers of 
his mind rofe greatly fuperior to all the difadvantages 
of the period in which he lived. In harmony of verfi- 
fication, his works even now Hand as a model of perfec¬ 
tion, although, at the time when he wrote, molt of the 
laws of compofition were in a ftate of fluctuation, and 
others were altogether unknown. It feems, indeed, 
very probable, that fome of his verfes might form the 
idea for many rules which were afterwards fettled. He 
had both feeling and judgment; in his love-poems 
there is a peculiar foftnefs and melody in all their va¬ 
riations ; and this, in a greater or lefs degree, may be 
traced^through all his writings, from the flighted efforts 
of his mufe, to the mod grand and fublime parts of his 
imagery.
