Aeth oriau aml, anhylon, hir dros ben / Y tru ; ei boen torasai ar ei saib, / Ac yn ei dynu nesnes at y pridd. — / Ar vyr, y gweilliai drwyddo iaaidd naws / A difrwyth oer ei draed. […]- Many cheerless, extremely long hours passed / The wretch ; his pain had broken on his rest, / And drawn him nearer to the earth. — / Shortly, an icy feeling would run through him / And cold torpor through his feet.
