There can be little doubt, but that the writings of Guttun Owen, Cynfrig ab Gronow, and of Sir Meredyth ab Rhys, were extant in the Days of Llwyd and Powel, and known to many persons who lived in the principality, as Powel did. The next account I have met with of this Event is in Hakluyt.
'Hang him up on the spot, pointing with his finger as he spoke; 'we shall see if this practice cannot be put a stop to. And with these words he rode leisurely away, as if he had been merely ordering dinner for a small party. "When I came up to the place the halberts were fixed, and Gronow, with a company of the Fusiliers, under arms beside them.
On my asking the purpose of all this millinery, Fox replied, in a good-natured way, "Why, my dear Gronow, it was the only means to prevent those rascals at the salon winning back my money." An order had been given to the managers of all the theatres in Paris to admit a certain number of soldiers of the army of occupation, free of expense.
"'God forgive them! what an awful retrospect this will prove to some of them. "'Time's up! said Gronow, jumping up, and replacing his watch in his pocket. "'Provost-Marshal, be quick now "'Eh! what's that? there, I see it waving! There's a shout too! "'Ay, by Jove! so it is; well, you're saved this time, Major; that's the signal.
At that moment Alexandre Gerardin, the grand veneur, came to my assistance; he spoke to the Duchess, who immediately gave instructions that Mr. Gronow was to be admitted "sans culottes." The card for the hunt came; but the time to get the uniform was so short, that I was prevented going to St. Germain. At that time the fascinating Duchess de Berri was the theme of admiration of everyone.
The best copy of these registers was taken by Guttun Owen, a Bard, in the Reign of Edward the IVth. King of England, about the year 1480; before the first Voyage of Columbus; but that the continuation, though not Caradoc's, is a true History, we have no just reason to question. Cynfrig ab Gronow, about the same time with Guttun Owen, mentioned this Event.
"You are alluding to Black Robin," said I, "who wrote the ode in praise of Anglesey yes, he was a very clever young fellow, but excuse me, he was not half such a poet as Gronwy Owen." "Black Robin," said Mr Bos, "and Gronow Owen, who the Devil were they? I never heard of either. I wasn't talking of them, but of the clebberest man the world ever saw. Did you never hear of Owen Tiddir?
The princess was immediately undressed and put to bed, his majesty being impatient to hear a new story. Light of my eyes, said the emperor, what is your name? I call myself the princess Gronovia, replied she; but my real appellation is the frow Gronow. And what is the use of a name, said his majesty, but to be called by it? And why do you pretend to be a princess, if you are not?
Now, had it not been for the fixed halberts and the provost-marshal, I'd not have believed him; but one glance at them, and another at the bullock-cart with all the holy images, told me at once what had happened. "'He only means to frighten me a little? Isn't that all, Gronow? cried I, in a supplicating voice. "'Very possibly, Major, said he; 'but I must execute my orders.
"'You'll surely not Before I could finish, up came Dan Mackinnon, cantering smartly. "'Going to hang old Monsoon, eh, Gronow? What fun! "'Ain't it, though, said I, half blubbering.
