[Oct. I> 



And now as o'er the rocks and dells 



The gallant chidings nse, 

 Al\ Snowdon's trjggy cliaos yells 



The m<iny niiiigleJ cries. 



That day Llewellyn little lov'd 



The chace ot hart or hare ; 

 And scant and small ttie booty prov'd. 



For Gelert was not there. 

 Unpleas'd Llewellyn homeward hiedi 



When near the portal seati 

 His truant Gelert he e-pied, 



Bounding his lord to greet. 

 And, when he gain'd the castle door. 



Aghast the chieftain stood ; 

 The hound all o'er wa- smear'd with gore, 



His lips, his fangs, ran blood. 

 Llewellyn gaz'd with fierce surprise, 



Unus'd such looks lo meet, 

 His fav'rite check'd his jov fu! guise. 



And crouch'd and lick'd his feet. 



Onward in ha'te Llewellyn pass'd, 



And on went Gelert too, 

 And still where'er his eyes he cast, 



Fre^h blood-gouts shock'd his view. 

 O'erturn'd his infant's bed he found. 



With blood stain'd cover'd red. 

 And all around the walN and ground. 



With recent blood bespread. 

 He call'd his child — no voice replied. 



He search'd with terror wild ; 

 Blood, blood, he found on ev'ry side, 



But no-where found his child. 



*' Hellhound, my cliild by thee devour'd !' 



The frantic father cried, 

 And to the hilt his vengelul sword 



He plung'd in Gelerl's side. 

 His suppliant looks, aS prone he fell. 



No ^>ny couM impart, 

 But still his Gelert'sdying yell 



Pass'd heavy o'er his heart. 

 Arous'd by Gelert'sdying yell. 



Some Slumb'rer waken'J nigh — 

 What words the parent's joy cou'dtell. 



To hear his infant cry i 



Conceal'd beneath a mangled heap. 



His hurried search had miss'd. 

 All glowing from his rosy sleep, I 



I'he cherub boy he kiss'd. 

 Nor scath had he, nor harm, nor dread; 



But the same couch beneath. 

 Lay a gaunt wolf, all torn and dead. 



Tremendous still in death. 



Ah ! what was then Llewellyn's pain ! 



For now the truth was clear. 

 His gallant hound the wolf had slain. 



To save Llewellyn's heir. 



Vain, vain, was all LlewellyTi'S woe, 



"Best of thy kind adieu ! 

 The frantic blow which laid ihee low 



This hand shall ever rue." 



And now a gallant tomb they raise. 



With cost.y sculpture deck'd. 

 And marble, stoned with his praise, 



Poor Gelert's bones protect. 



There never cou'd the spearman pass, 



Or forester unmov'd . 

 There oft the tear-besprinkled grass, 



L'ewellyn's Sorrow proved. 



And there he hung his horn and spear, 



And there as ev'ning tell. 

 In fancy's ear he oft wou'd hear 



Poor Gelert's dying yell. 

 And, till great Snowdon's rocks grow old, 



And cease the storm to brave, 

 The con-ecrated spot shall hold 



The name of Gelert's grave.

"1X7 HAT an elegant quintetto 

 * ' You have had so long in petto, 

 Happy night now we are met to 



Hobnob wit, and feast on mind. 

 All the joys of whist are blunt to 

 Those of a blue-stocking junto. 

 E'en ^padille, manille, and punto, 

 Bieathe annoy in ears lefin'd. 



Gums like ours may not be stiicken 

 With a nicely roasied chicken. 

 Savoury morsels only sicken 



Truly Sublimated folks. 

 Who that is well-read would eat meat. 

 Or take up a clammy sweetmeat, 

 Were it not he might in it meet 



Witty mottoes and smart jokes? 



O that like a Persian perie 

 One could in unbroken serie 

 Drink with no^e and ear unweary, 



Smelh and sounds that hover by : 

 Or with Plato in ideal 

 Worlds forget ihat there are real 

 Tempiers here, whose fierce ordeal 



Forms of clay to atoms fry. 



Glasses filled with wine engender 

 Such loose merriment, and render 

 One to idle thoughts so tender. 



We should wish old Noah drown'd r 

 Scarce a cup or two of tea may. 

 Where fine souls hold converse, stream a.
