Excerpt from Facsimile and Text of the Book of TaliesinB.t. A paean or elegy. If the-internal evidence, supported by linguistic and grammatical considerations, proves that our text was written in the twelfth century and after, it is sheer lunacy to claim for any part of it a sixth century origin. That Taliesin ¿ourished in the middle of the twelfth century there can be no manner of doubt, and he was held in such high esteem that his manner, his style was imitated.'l 'but, ' it has been oh jected, 'there might have been another Taliesin who lived in the sixth century.' Where is the evidence for this ghost, this birth of fraud, this tattle of public platforms? Might-have-been is not evidence, but the offspring of indolent belief, which shirks the effort to think. To say this is to ¿y in the face of that Providence which pro vides for the simple, but the man who has seen a truth cannot be as if he had not seen it. Sooner or later truth will out, and will be proclaimed on the housetops.
