The Boasts of Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd by Daniel Abse

The Boasts of Hywel ab Owain Gwynedd by Daniel Abse
The title of this poem refers to Hywel who was a Welsh warrior-prince and poet. He was the son of Owain Gwynedd and played a significant part in the occupation of Ceredigion (Cardiganshire) by the house of Gwynedd. This connects with the poem because the speaker is boasting about all the different women who he has 'been with' in the space of only a week.
                            'Sunday, skilled in zealous verse I praised the Lord'
  The first stanza tells the reader of Sunday's to Wednesday's women. Immediately, a boastful tone is created as the speaker refers to his use of 'skilled' and zealous verse'. He describes the first woman as '[his] busty next', which describes the woman in a sexual tone, portraying her as an object for his own satisfaction. He makes a reference to the women's 'whiteness', depicting her to be better than 'pear blossom'. The colour of white connotes purity and innocence, which may suggest that the speaker takes away that innocence.
                                         'Not to love her is a sin'
 Abse states that 'Not to love' Tuesday's woman would be a 'sin.' Love is mentioned, however it could refer to her physical appearance and actions, meaning that it's not based on emotion. The woman's name is 'Gwladus' which means 'Lame' in Welsh. This is degrading and disrespectful, which could suggest that the speaker has no respect for women, furthermore, it implies that he is using the women and not obtaining any feelings of love towards her. The speaker then appears to be flirtatious as he describes how he 'woo[s]' her until her cheeks 'flush like rosy apple skin'. Abse uses the word 'thrust'; which creates a sexual tone, it also makes the relationship seem very separate from love.    
                            'Wednesday, Genery's. Dry old hymns I steal to please her.'
On Wednesday, the lady's name is 'Generys' which means 'mistress' in Welsh, another form of degrading women, just like 'lame.' The speaker describes how he uses 'Dry old hymns' in order to 'please her.' This suggests that he finds the hymns exceedingly boring, however he would go to any extent to make a woman fall for him, presenting the speaker as shallow and ignorant. 
The poet then describes 'Hawis' as his 'epic regular' which could suggest that everyday women fall for the speaker.
                                      ''Through an orchard I adore'
 Abse uses refers to flowers/nature when describing his Saturday.The words 'orchard' and 'efflorescence' indicates prosperity, joy and beauty, the poet obviously feels a great excitement from having many different women. The speaker goes on to hope that 'her name stay secret for her husband's sake' which means he goes for married women, reinforcing the fact that he has no morals.  In the poem, there is a sense of accomplishment for the speaker, even though what he's doing is completely deceitful.
                               'O tongue, lick up juices of the fruit'
The final stanza expresses a tone of sexual desire and innuendo. The speaker refers to '[licking] up jucies' which suggests he can have any woman he wants, and can do whatever he likes to them. As long as his 'busy tongue keeps quite' which implies the importance of the secret between him and his women, their husbands must not find out. Likewise, the individual females must not become aware of the fact that he is sleeping around with other women.
