Ellis Wynne, 1671-1734, was a rector, poet, translator and
royalist, but he's primarily known as the author of Gweledigaethau
y Bardd Cwsg which was first published in London in 1703. The
Sleeping Bard is led through three visions following the path of
sinners on their way to hell. Filled with imagination, originality
and satire, Wynne's visions are written in the natural and
idiomatic language of Meirionnydd at the turn of the 18th century.
This volume contains three books, as well as Gweledigaethau y Bardd
Cwsg edited by D. Silvan Evans there are two English translations,
The Visions of the Sleeping Bard by Gwyneddon Davies and The
Sleeping Bard by George Borrow.

Then away we went over hills and through forests, across seas and
valleys, over castles and towers, rivers and rocks, and where
should we alight but at one of the gates of the daughters of
Belial, at the rear of the City of Destruction, where I noticed
that the three gateways of Destruction contracted into one at the
back, and opened upon the same place--a murky, vaporous, pestilent
place, full of noisome mists, and terrible lowering clouds.

Roedd Ellis Wynne, 1671-1734, yn reithor, yn fardd, yn gyfieithydd
ac yn frenhinwr ond mae'n fwy adnabyddus fel awdur Gweledigaethau y
Bardd Cwsg a gyhoeddwyd gyntaf ym 1703. Caiff y Bardd Cwsg ei
arwain drwy dair weledigaeth lle mae'n dilyn taith pechaduriaid ar
eu ffordd i uffern. Mae yma ddychymyg gwreiddiol a dychan brathog
ac mae'r cwbl wedi ei ysgrifennu mewn iaith sy'n gwbl naturiol ac
yn adlewyrchu iaith lafar Meirionnydd ar droad y 18fed ganrif.
Mae'r gyfrol hon yn cynnwys tri llyfr, yn ogystal a Gweledigaethau
y Bardd Cwsg a olygwyd gan D. Silvan Evans mae dau gyfieithiad
Saesneg, The Visions of the Sleeping Bard gan Gwyneddon Davies a
The Sleeping Bard gan George Borrow.
