Yn nghornel y ‘stafell, “A yfwch chwi, Styfyn?”
Dydd da i chwi weithian, mae’n rhaid i mi deithio
Dros fryniau, a broydd, a gwaunydd, dan gwyno;
Gan stormydd tra awchus, a chan y glaw uchel,
Caf lawer cernod, a chwithau’n y gornel.”
The above has been translated into English by one Mair Arfon as follows, and appeared in “Cymru Fu,” Cardiff, August 9th, 1888:—
“Here’s Stephen the Bidder! Good day to you all,
To baby and daddy, old, young, great and small;
Good friends if you like, in a warm poet’s lay
My message to you I’ll deliver to-day.
