Waeth fi yw gwas mawr Trecefel.”

In the English districts of West Wales, such as South Pembrokeshire, such verses as the following were repeated:—

Get up on New Year’s morning,

The cocks are all a-crowing;

And if you think you’re awake too soon,

Why get up and look at the stars and moon.

“The roads are very dirty,

My shoes are very thin,

I wish you a happy New Year,

And please to let me in.”
