The Welshman's Praise of Wales : OR , Shon ap Morgan's falling in Love with an English Lady in his Journey to London .

I'S not come here to tauke of Prute , From whence the Welse does take hur Root ; Nor tell long Pedigree of Prince Camber , Whose Linage would fill full a Shamber ; Nor sing the Deeds of old Saint Davy , The Ursip of which would fill a Navy . But hark ye me now , for a liddel Tales Sall make great deal to the Credit of Wales : For hur will tudge your Ears , With the Praise of hur Thirteen Seeres . And make you as Clad and Merry , As Fourteen Pot of Perry . 'T is true was wear him Shirkin-Frieze , But what is that● we have store of Sheize ; And Got is plenty of Coates-Milk , That sell him well will buy him Silk Enough , to make him fine to Quarrel , At Hereford Sizes in new Apparel , And get him as much green Melmet perhap , Sall give it a Face to his Monmouth-Cap , But then the Ore of Lemster , By Cot is Uver a Sempster ; That when he is Spun or Did , Yet match him with her Thrid . Aull this the Backs now , let us tell ye Of some Provisions for the Belly ; As Cid and Gote , and great Gote's Mother , And Runt and Cow and great Cows Vther : And once but taste on the Welse Mutton , Your Engliss Seeps not worth a Button . And then for your Fisse , shall shoose it your Dish , Look but about and there 's a Trout , A Salmon , Cor , or Chevin , Will feed you Six or Seven , As Taull Men as ea'er Swagger . With Welse Club and long Dagger . But all this while was never think A word in praise of our Welse Drink : Yet for aull that , is a Cup of Bragat , Aull England Seer may cast his Cap at . And what you say to Ale of Webley , Toudge him as well , you 'll praise him Trebley ; As well as Metheglin , or Syder , or Meath , Sall sake it your Dagger quite out o' the Seath. And Oate Cake of Guarthenion , With a goodly Leek or Onion , To give as sweet a rellis , As e'er did Harper Ellis . And yet is nothing now all this , If of our Musicks we do miss ; With Harp and Pipes too , and the Croud , Must aull come in and tauke aloud , As loud as Bangu , Davy's Bell , Of which is no doubt you have hear tell , As well as our louder Wrexam Organ , Or rumbling Rocks in the Seer of Glamorgan , Where look but in the Ground here , And you sall see a Sound there , That put her all togedder , Is sweet as Measure Pedder .
Of Hur being in Love . A Modest Shentle when hur see , The great Laugh hur made on me , And fine Wink that hur send To hur , come to see hur Friend ; Hur could not shoose , by Got apove , But was entangle in hur Love . A hundred a time hur was about To speak to hur , and leave hur out , But hur peing a Welsman porn , And therefore was think hur would hur scorn Was fear , hur think nothing petter , Than cram hur Love into a Letter , Hoping hur will no Ceptions take Unto hur Love for Country sake ; For say hur be Welsman , what ten ? Py Got , they all be Shentlemen , Was descend from Shoves nown Line , Par Humane , and par Divine , And from Venus that fair Goddess , And Twenty other Shentlepoddies : Hector Stout , and comely Paris , Arthur Prute , and King of Fayris , Was hur nown Cousins , all a Kin , We have the Powel's Issue in ; And for ought that hur can see , As goot Men as other Men pee . But what of that ? Love is a Knave , Was make hur do what he would have ; Was compel hur write the Rime , That ne'er was Writ before the time ; And if he will not pity hur Pain , As Got shudge hur Soul sall ne'er Write again ; For Love is like an Ague Fit , Was brin poor Welsman out of hur Wit , Till by hur Answer hur do know , Whether hur do Love her , ay or no. Hur has not been in England long , And canno speak the Englis Tongue ; Put hur is hur Friend , and so hur will prove , Pray a send hur word , if hur can Love . FINIS .
