This translation is taken from a most entertaining as well as useful work, entitled The Gossiping Guide to Wales, written by the late Mr. J. Askew Roberts, and published by Woodall, Minshall & Co., Oswestry 1886.
Bouncer was a welsher,
Bouncer was a thief,
I won a bet of Bouncer,
And came to awful grief.
When I went to Bouncer,
He said he hadn’t bet it,
Put his thumb up to his nose,
And wished that I might get it.
