Mererid's cry from a city's height

Even to God is it sent aloft:

After pride comes long death.

gnaud guydi traha attreguch.

Mererid's cry from a city's height to-day

Even to God her expiation:

After pride comes reflection.

Diaspad mererid am gorchuit heno.

ac nimhaut gorlluit.

gnaud guẏdi traha tramguit.

Mererid's cry fills me to-night,

Nor can I readily prosper:

After pride comes a downfall.

Diaspad mererid ẏ ar gwinev kadir

kedaul duv ae gorev.

gnaud guẏdi gormot eissev.

Mererid's cry over generous wines:

The bountiful man is God's creation:

After excess comes privation.

ẏ urth uẏistauell.

gnaud guẏdi traha trangc pell.

Mererid's cry forces me to-night

Away from my chamber:

After insolence comes long death.

Rug kaer kenedir a glan.

mor maurhidic a kinran.

The grave of Seithennin of the feeble understanding

(Is) between Kenedyr's Fort and the shore,

(With that of) Môr the Grand and Kynran.
