Go , and ask me of my father , and whatsoever he shall required of thee grant it , and thou shalt win me ; but if thou deny him anything thou wilt not obtain me , and it will be well for thee if thou escape with thy life . ' ` All this I promise , ' said he . So she returned to the castle , and all Arthur 's men went after her , and entered the hall . ` Greeting to thee , Yspaddaden Penkawr , ' said they . ` We come to ask thy daughter Olwen for Kilweh , son of Kilydd . ' ` Come hither to-morrow and I will answer you , ' replied Yspaddaden Penkawr , and as they rose to leave the hall he caught up one of the three poisoned darts that lay beside him and flung it in their midst .
