Are thy glories sunk for ever, Are they set to rise no more? Must we henceforth hail them never, On this muse-deserted shore? Yes! prophetic Science hear’s me, Thus bewail her ancient seat, Lifts her spoil crown’d head, and cheers me, Echoing thus the cry of fate:— “Thy bless’d shade, O Taliesin! Waft on soft Elysian gales, To impart thy heav’n-taught lesson, To some favour’d child of Wales. “Let Thy Spirit hover o’er him, Strike him with thy hallow’d fire: Prostrate nations shall adore him, Deck’d with Thy immortal lyre. “Thus shall Cambria once more flourish, High, as e’er in times of yore; And her sacred soil, still nourish Heav’n born bards for evermore.” We cannot quit this place without informing the stranger, (if he be not already aware of the circumstance) that a Society has been lately established here, as well as in the other Divisions of the Principality, which has been denominated the “_Cymmrodorion Society in Gwynedd_;” and whose object is the preservation of Ancient British Literature,—Poetical, Historical, Antiquarian, Sacred, and Moral, and the encouragement of National Music. The term Cymmrodorion has been adopted, (as specified by the Members of the Committee in Powys) more particularly out of respect to an ancient Society of that name, established in London, 1751, under the Patronage of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. An Eisteddfod, or Congress of Bards, was held at Carmarthen, July 8, 1819, under the sanction of Lord Dynevor, and the Bishop of St. David’s; and another at Wrexham, September 13, 1820, under the Patronage of Sir W. W. Wynne. A similar Meeting is to take place at Carnarvon, sometime in the course of the ensuing Autumn, when our greatly esteemed and highly respected Lord Lieutenant, Viscount Warren Bulkeley, it is hoped will preside. Several Meetings have already been held, a Committee formed, and regulations made in order to promote its success, and ensure a full attendance.
