Shouldst thou a little red man descry
Asking about his dwelling fair,
Tell him it under the bank doth lie,
And its brow the mark of the coal doth bear.
XXIII. LLAWDDEN. From Lewis Meredith.
Whilst fair Machynlleth decks thy quiet plain,
Conjoined with it shall Lawdden’s name remain.
XXIV. TWM O’R NANT.
Tom O Nant is a nickname I’ve got,
My name’s Thomas Edwards, I wot.
XXV. SEVERN AND WYE.
O pleasantly do glide along the Severn and the Wye;
But Rheidol’s rough, and yet he’s held by all in honour high.
XXVI. GLAMORGAN. From Dafydd ab Gwilym.
If every strand oppression strong
Should arm against the son of song,
The weary wight would find, I ween,
A welcome in Glamorgan green.
