Lay beautiful on Snowdon's sovereign brow,[628]

On Cader Idris, or huge Penmanmaur)

A wandering Youth, I listened with delight

To pastoral melody or warlike air,[IC]

Drawn from the chords of the ancient British harp

By some accomplished Master, while he sate

Amid the quiet of the green recess,

And there did inexhaustibly dispense

An interchange of soft or solemn tunes,

Tender or blithe; now, as the varying mood
