The Barddas of Iolo Morganwg, Vol. I., ed. by J. Williams Ab Ithel, [1862], at sacred-texts.com


THE EIGHT MATERIALS OF MAN.

From the Book of Mr. Cobb of Cardiff.

From the earth, the flesh;
From the water, the blood;
From the air, the breath;
From the calas, the bones;
From the salt, the feeling;
From the sun, that is, the fire, his agitation;
From the truth, his understanding;
From the Holy Ghost, that is, God, his soul,
  or life.
