      Y mae enciliad yn arswydas. Yr wyf yn meddwl, pa fodd bynag, y bydd raid i Arglwydd Wellington ei atal. Nid ydym eto ond wedi profi pump o unarbymtheg sydd ar brawf. Y maent oll wedi eu collfarnu i farw, ac wedi eu saethu.
      A retreat is a horror. I think, however, that it will have to be stopped by Lord Wellington. We have yet to prove it five of the sixteen are on trial. They have all been condemned to death by shooting.
