The Boasts of Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd

Persona boasts about different women he has each day. 

Religious imagery - praise The Lord. Dry old hymns

Used fruit to describe her

He tries to impress her, it's just fun to her - 'she pigeon-coos when I thrust to woo her'

'O sweet riot of efflorescence' - oxymoron/paradox - he knows it's wrong yet he likes it 

'Let her name be secret for her husbands sake' - boasting that he's having an affair , suggests that whilst she's married, he's not. 

'Her' on only line suggests her importance to him and the he likes her.
