- O Arawn of the Hunt,
- Lord of Annwn,
- Who wert sorely oppressed
- Under ban of the ardent,
- Shield Thou me this night
- From Hafgan.
- My spirit in Thine own realm, O Lord,
- Thou the King of the Country of Youth,
- And Thine in my own realm
- To guard my body as it lies sleeping in Abred.
- Thou it was who exchanged thy shape, O King,
- With Pwyll, Lord of Dyfed.
- Protect Thou me because of my fealty,
- For the sake of Pwyll, my Lord;
- and Rhiannon, my Lady;
- and I their child.
- And take me in safety tonight
- Near to the Land of Promise,
- And bring me in safety again
- Back to the world of Abred.
