The poem given above is transcribed directly from the Llyfr Coch Hergest (Red Book of Hergest), with reference to Blodeugerdd Barddas o'r Bedwaredd Ganrif ar Ddeg edited by Dafydd Johnston. Letters or words obviously missing from the text are enclosed in square brackets [ ] and letters or words that are either superfluous to the metre or which are erroniously copied in the original are indicated in italic text. This poem represents one of several hundred in a remarkable collection found at the back of the Red Book of Hergest and represents, to the best of my knowlege, the first time that the text of this poem has been made available on the internet.
