“Wel, fe ddaeth oes Edward Owen i ben o’r diwedd. A chymaint oedd parch pobl yr Undeb Llenyddol iddo fel y cynhygiwyd gwobr dda am farwnad iddo. Yn unol â’i ddireidi greddfol, beth wnaeth “Rolant” ond llunio cerdd goffa oedd yn ddisgrifiad llawn a chywir o hono — yn ei ddraenogrwydd a’i hynodion, yn neillduol.”
Well, the age^† of Edward Owen came to an end at last. And such was the esteem in which he was held by the people of the Literary Union that a rich reward was offered for an elegy of him. In keeping with his innate mischievousness, what did “Rolant” do but concoct a memorial poem which was a complete and accurate description of him — in his prickliness and his peculiarities, in particular.
