CHAUNT.

There was Ap Shenken, and Ap Jenken—Ap Rice, and Ap Price—Ap Wynn and Ap Gwynn—Ap Lloyd and Ap Floyd—from Carnarvon to Llangollen—to Carmarthen and Hellvellyn—all capering like goats, and spluttering their throats—to think a Prince of Wales, was born again to crown their vales—and all was fun and jollity, throughout the

Principality. There was roasted cheese and ale, which they swallowed by the pail! For the Lord Mayor they all said, must be a Welchman born and bred,

From the very top of his head to the bottom,
Down below!
As their Prince was born upon his day,
Therefore they would be merry!
