About five miles from Wrexham I paffed through 

 a romantic glen, which would have had confiderable 

 pidlurefque effe£l, if this had not been deftroyed by 

 feveral white-waflied cottages obtruding themfelves 

 on the fight from among the trees. A little beyond 

 this fcene I pafTcd a neat bridge of a fmgle arch, 

 which appeared very beautiful, accompanied by the 

 ruftic cottages overshadowed with trees on the bank 

 of the flream. — The country I now journied through 

 was fomewhat mountainous ; but beyond this vale it 

 became again flat and uninterefling. 



Caergwrle 



• r-Comes right now to pafTe my pen^ 



With ragged wauUes, yea all to rent and tome : 



As though it had been never knowne to men, 



Or careleffe left, as wretched thing forlorn ; 



Like beggar bare, as naked as my nail, ' . 



It lies along, whofe wrecke doth none bewayle *.
