Nara tybbryth a henna, yen hyneuis pren askyens
Ynnes a lena tya, hag a fyth marroeu vernens.
_In English thus_:
So are we one and three, Father and Son in Trinity,
We make thee to us of clay like to our face anon,
We will breath in thy body spirit holy, and ointment on his head,
And life when lost to the earth thou must again.
Adam rise thou up in strength, and turn to flesh and blood;
Think I came all of earth like me from head to foot;
All that’s on land and sea upon them take thou authority,
In this world from bring forth thou shalt have thee allowed.
Adam so of God’s grace but keep what’s granted thee;
Take Paradise I appoint, only leave the thing thou ought.
On each fruit herb and seed that in it is growing,
Except the fruit thou shalt not take――that’s the tree of knowledge
forbidden.
Do not eat of that’s named the tree of knowledge,
Out from thence thou must and shalt die the death.
By this small part of a greater piece given (as I conceive) for Welsh,
by a Welsh gentleman, it appears how near the Cornish and Welsh
tongues are affined.
