- Pob crythor ddihepgor ddyn
Dilys a phob cerdd delyn;
Pob trwmpls propr hirgorn copr cau,
Pob sôn pobl, pob sŵn pibau;
Pob hudol, anfoddol fydd,
Llwm hadl, a phob llamhidydd;
pob ffidler law draw y dring,
Pob swtr tabwrdd, pob sawtring.- Every crwth player – indispensable, faultless man –
and every tune of the harp;
every seemly trumpet with its long, hollow, copper horn,
every chatter from people, every sound from pipes;
every conjurer – unseemly he is –
and every tumbler;
every fiddler’s hand climbs up yonder,
every adversary with a drum, every psaltery.
