But thou, O Taffy, in my Verse shalt live
The long Eternity which Poets give.
The Welsh with annual Joy preserve thy Fame,
Thou brightest Honour of the Cambrian Name!
Thy Country does with Gratitude o'erflow,
And tho' no Conquering Bays she can bestow,
Yet fragrant Leaks shall for thy Brows instead of Laurel grow.
