The good vicar did more. In the short intervals of relaxation which he allowed himself from the labour of the ministry during those years he composed a number of poetical pieces, which after his death were gathered together into a volume and published, under the title of "Canwyll y Cymry; or, the Candle of the Welshman."

A work which in any shape or form bore even a distant relationship to fiction, instantly fell under the ban of the Puritanism of former days.
