    Dwg lor 0 le di gerydd F'enaid wrth raid yn rhydd ; and shows old age in its most uninviting aspect: Crynedig i’m croen ydwyf, Crynfa daelen aethnen wyf. Tudur Penllyn was a native of Eifionydd, as he himself states: Wyf o Ynys Eifionydd— viz. Ynyscynhaiarn, near Criccieth. Two of his cywyddaii have appeared in print—one a satiric reply to leuan Brydydd Hir, the general tenor of which is to suggest that leuan was jealous of him, because his wealth was increasing: Goreu dyn ond y gred wan, Ar y ddaear oedd leuan ; Da o’i dda [ac] nid oedd well, Drud garedig droed gradell; Ond ni fynai am unawr Weled i mi olud mawr. The other published cywydd which is found in the Brython, vol. iii. p. 99, was apparently written during the Wars of the Roses, and has references to Harri^ Arglwydd Rhismwnt, which help to fix this bard’s date—the latter half of the fifteenth century.
