And Punch, Incarnate Justice,
Intends henceforth to lick
All who shall scorn or sneer at you,
You jolly little Brick!
Shirley Brooks.
The Welsh were naturally much pleased with this version, and speedily translated it into their own language:
Cymro ydyw Taffy,
Lladratta byth ni wna;
Mae mutton Taffy’n gampus,
Nid yw ei biff mor dda.
