From Beaumaris we proceeded, by Dulas and Red Wharf Bay, to Amlwch; the distance is about sixteen miles, through a pleasant country, in parts greatly resembling England. About a mile from Red Wharf Bay you pass the village of Pentraeth, _The End of the Sands_. The situation is pleasant; and Mr. Grose was so taken with the picturesque beauty of its small church, as to give a view of it in his Antiquities. Near this, in a field at Plâs Gwynne, the seat of the Panton family, are two stones, placed, as tradition says, to mark the bounds of an astonishing leap, which obtained for the active performer of it the wife of his choice; but it appears, that as he leaped into her affections with difficulty, he ran away from them with ease; for going to a distant part of the country, where he had occasion to reside several years, he found, on his return, that his wife had, on that very morning, been married to another person. Eenion, on hearing this, took his harp, and, sitting down at the door, explained in Welsh metre who he was, and where he had been resident. His wife narrowly scrutinized his person, unwilling to give up her new spouse, when he exclaimed: Look not, Angharad, on my silver hair, Which once shone bright of golden lively hue: Man does not last like gold:—he that was fair Will soon decay, though gold continue new. If I have lost Angharad, lovely fair! The gift of brave Ednyfed, and my spouse, All I’ve not lost, (all must from hence repair), Nor bed, nor harp, nor yet my ancient house. I once have leap’d to show my active power, A leap which none could equal or exceed, The leap in Aber Nowydd, which thou, fair flower! Didst once so much admire, thyself the meed. Full fifty feet, as still the truth is known, And many witnesses can still attest; How there the prize I won, thyself must own: This action stamp’d my worth within thy breast. BINGLEY’S NORTH WALES. At Llanfair, which is about a mile distant from this road, was born the celebrated scholar and poet, Goronwy Owen, who, notwithstanding his acknowledged and admired abilities, was, after a series of hardships and struggles, obliged to expatriate himself to the wilds of Virginia, where he was appointed pastor of the church. He was well versed in the Latin, Greek, and oriental languages, was a skilful antiquary and an excellent poet. His Latin odes are greatly admired; but his Welsh poems rank him among the most distinguished bards of his country.
