He was also the author of "Song against Drunkenness, Lies and Miserliness" (as Cerdd yn Erbyn Medd-dod, Celwydd a Chybydd-dra), published in a booklet of three ballads by H. Lloyd of Shrewsbury and listed in the Bibliography of Welsh Ballads (1909–1911) by J. H. Davies. Another recorded work of his is the elegy "Ffarwel Ned Puw" (Farewell Ned Pugh).
