316 A TOUR ROUND NORTH WALES. 



The Britifh hiftorians and poets, re- 

 dound with the praifes of one Pabo Poll 

 Prydain, that is, Pabo the fupport of 

 Britain, who lived about the time that 

 the Saxons came into Britain, and dif* 

 played much valour, in the contentions 

 againfl the Picls and Scots. He was 

 buried in the church-yard of Llanbabo, 

 in Anglefea, which he had himfelf found- 

 ed. About the time of Charles II. his 

 grave-ftone was difcovered by the Sex- 

 ton, as he was digging a grave, at the 

 depth of fix or feven feet in the earth, 

 and it was then removed into the choir, 

 where it has remained ever fince. It 

 has on it the figure of a man, in long 

 robes, with a coronet on his head, and 

 a fceptre in his hand, and on it's edge 

 is a latin infcription in baflb-relievo, in 

 thefe characters, mixed with the Roman. 

 And there are feveral other inscriptions 

 in North Wales, in this ancient charac- 

 ter.
