Grant it to pass, with evil fraught,

As die the river’s murmurings brought

Upon the breezy air.

This name (pronounced Hovellianos) was formerly written as two distinct names, Jove Llanos, as it is still by several members of the family, one, an Advocate, at present at Madrid, and another the Spanish Consul at Jamaica.
