Y CARDOTYN. (Buddugol.) Gardotyn tlawd, crwydredig, Amddifad, ruddiau llwyd, Gwyr beth yw calon ysig, A beth yw angen bwyd; A phan yn gofyn cardod, Ca sarug wg a sen Gollyngir llawer cawod 0 ddirmyg ar ei ben. Yn teithio mae'r cardotyn, Drwy oerni, gwynt, a gwlaw, Gan erfyn am friwsionyn, I gadw angau draw Nid yw ei dad caruaidd, Yn fyw, na'i fam oedd gu; Mae'r ddau mewn beddrod oeraidd, Yn nghol y fynwent ddu. Pan daena'r nos ei lleni, Mae'r gwan gardotyn blin, Wrth fon y berth yn llechu, Bron rhynu gan yr hin; Ac yno d'wed mewn aJaeth, 0 ddyfnder calon brudd, Mae argraff bys marwolaeth I'w chanfoa ar fy ngrudd." Gwywedig, eiddil, egwan, Yw'r myg, gardotyn mwyn; Yn unig wrtho'i hunan, Dan gur yn dweyd ei gwyn; Cyn hir fe ga drugaredd. A'i symud gan ei Dduw, 0 ganol byd o dlodedd, I r wynfa wen i fyw. Llwynypia. D. P. George.

UNWYD mewn glan briodas Mr. David Stephens, Brynheulog,. Tylorstown, a Miss Polly Lewis, Ferndale. Mae cyfnod cymdeithasol byd I'w clrhain n'ol hyd ddyddiau Adda, Pan deimlodd ef fod yn ei fryd Rhyw secret fach i'w ddweyd wrth Efa; Ei eiriau mwyn oedd lawn o swyn 1 Nes denu'r ddau i gyfeillachu, Ond ni cha'dd Adda fawr o gwy-n Nes iddo addaw ei phriodi. Bu Dafydd am ryw yspaid, maith Yn methu'n lan a phenderfynu Pa un a'i gwell neu ynte gwaeth I ddeuddyn fyw ar ol priodi; Ni chredai ef gallasai swyn Hud-ddenu neb ond pobl anghall, A thystia'n groch na's gallai ddwyn Holl dreuliau bydol merch dyn arall. Ond, wele baich ei ddyddiau blin Yn ei orddiwes ar ei ymdaith, A sibrwd wnaeth pan wrtho'i hun, Mae'n bryd rhoi fyny hen lancydd- A sibrwd wnaeth pan wrtho'i hun, Mae'n bryd rhoi fyny hen lancydd- iaeth." Trywanodd ef a phicell serch Yn gywrain iawn o dan ei ddwyfron, A thybed, pwy, ond rhinwedd merch Allasai wella clwy-f ei galon F Anturiaeth bwysig o'r iawn ryw Yw caru merch a glynu wrthi, Y cwestiwn mwyaf dyrus yw, A ydyw'r ferch yn werth priodi; Mae harddwch meinwen yn ei le, Qndni thai hyny ein gyfynion, Peth ffol yw meddwl, onide, Fod glendid neb yn creu cysuron ? Nid doeth yw gweled unrhyw ddyn Ynymfalchio yn ei ryddid, Heb gar na chydmar—wrtho'i hun, Nid dyna'r ffordd i dreulio bywyd; Mae dau yn well nag un, pob pryd, T symud ymaith drymion feichiau, Mae undeb gwr a gwraig yn nghyd Yn rwymyn cryfach fil o weithiau. Y ddau a rhoes ufudd-dod llawn I drefn y byd trwy ymbriodi, A hithau, Polly, gatodd iawn Nol dal yn hir yn myd y caru Os methu witewch bod yn gytun Ar bynciau hawlia'ch llwyr amynedd, Fy nghynghor yw, i'r callaf un, I gloi ei dafod rhwng ei ddanedd. Bu'm yn myfyrio lawer awr Mewn gobaith cawn yn llawn pryd hwmv Y fraint o weled toriad gwawr Priodas Dafvdd cyn fy tnafW Dedwyddyd bellach i chwi'ch dau, A bendith Duw fo ar eich uniad, A.thrwy eich hoes gwnewch gyd-barhau YI1 sanctaidd yn eich hymarweddiad.
