Without his work there's no
Christ's sacrifice to feed our faith,
And without him no pope

No wine-giving, sprightly king
Of notable prudence, no living man.

Additional quotes by Iolo Goch

Cnwd a gyrch mewn cnodig âr,
Cnyw diwael yn cnoi daear.
E fynn ei gyllell a'i fwyd
A'i fwrdd dan fôn ei forddwd.

Gwas a fling a'i goes o’i flaen.

It fetches crops from the rich earth,
It's a good beast biting the ground.
It must have its knife and its board
And its food right under its thigh.
It goes unwillingly through stones,
It skins the field with leg outstretched.

Gŵr meingryf, gorau mangre,
A phiau'r llys; hoff yw'r lle.
