Rhys Cain

Rhys Cain

Rhys Cain (c. 1540-1614) was a Welsh-language poet who lived in the north east of Wales near Oswestry.

Rhys was a wandering poet who, in the absence of a fixed patron, visited the local aristocracy in search of patronage. Rhys was a contemporary of William Morgan, who first translated the Bible into Welsh:

:"You made each word sound so sensible,":"The word of God so comprehensible!"
