NYJ-N.770.020
22 Feb 1770:41 (1416)
From the London Chronicle, October 21. The inclosed lines
are a literal translation of a Welsh manuscript; as the
names, which seem to have formed the alternate rhimes in the
original, were scarcely legible, I was obliged to omit
several letters belonging to them in the translation. G.
Wirbs.
Beneath this marble stone, now rotting, lies
The body of the illustrious G--n;
As for his soul (methinks the devil cries)
For goods receiv'd, that, I've a draft on.
. . . [10 lines]
Sound-up a royal march--beat, beat your drums,
And hail your honour'd patron B--n[ ].
. . . [4 more lines]
