"My Lord and Gentlemen of the Jury;
"Ci is a Dog, and Male is a gwryw,
So Cow is a Buwch, and Bull is a Tarw,
So Gast is a Bitch, with shaking her cynffon,
The same, my Lord, as your Madums in London.
Fal de ral, &c
"Mae llawer meddyliau, 'rwy'n gofyn eich barn,
Yn Gymraeg ac yn Saesneg, ar y gair elwir "Carn";
Carn ceffyl, carn twcca, os cyfieithweh o chwith,
Gellweh alw carn-lleidr, the hilt of a thief."
Fal de ral, &c
A'r couns'llor ddywedai, "It appears to me,
This mau lost his lamb by a Gast or a Ci;
The value of the verdict we easy rejoin—
My Lord, 'twas a Cigfran that killed the Oen.
Fal de ral, &c
"Against such a name there is no accusation,
It mentions a dog in this Declaration."
"But what is a Cigfran, I can't make a guess."
My Lord, 'tis a blackbird that lives upon flesh."
Fal de ral, &c
"A bird that destroyed the innocent creature,
Of course he must be of a ravenous nature;
He will pick out your eyes, my Lord, in a crack,
Is just like a lawyer, is always in black."
Fal de ral, &c
Cofiwch i gyd mai gwell yw cytuno,
Rhag ofn cael brathiad, os ewch i gyfreithio,
A myn'd yn y diwedd, ar ol eudw swn,
Fel yr aeth yr Oen bach, rhwng cigfrain a chŵn.
Fal de ral, &c
