These be the very wordes of Mutezuma set downe in the Spanish Chronicles, the which being thoroughly considered, because they haue relation to some strange noble person, who long before had possessed those countreys, doe all sufficiently argue the vndoubted title of her Maiestie: forasmuch as no other Nation can truely by any Chronicles they can finde, make prescription of time for themselues, before the time of this Prince Madoc.
I mention only what diminishes my delight at the wonder-workings of "Kehama," not what impeaches its power, which I confess with trembling. But "Roderick" is a comfortable poem. It reminds me of the delight I took in the first reading of the "Joan of Arc." It is maturer and better than that, though not better to me now than that was then. It suits me better than "Madoc."
I behaved shabbily about some slight remarks which I was to have ventured on Mr. Southey's 'Madoc, in the 'Eclectic Review. On reading the critiques in the 'Edinburgh Review, on 'Thalaba' and 'Madoc, I found what were substantially my own impressions, so much better developed than I could have done, that I instantly threw my remarks away.
Pierre's a lazy fellow, mostly, but he spent a long time teaching Madoc, and with his temper I'm thankful you lost your gun." "Do you never shoot things up here? I saw you giving the fox and herons what looked like meat. You had a stew for supper, and fish for breakfast. I don't mean to be impertinent, but the sight of that big game Whew!" "Yes.
He goes forth a Tarquin, and comes back too ethereal to be married. The only love scene, as far as we can recollect, in Madoc, consists of the delicate attentions which a savage, who has drunk too much of the Prince's excellent metheglin, offers to Goervyl. It would be the labour of a week to find, in all the vast mass of Mr.
However, when Adrian steadily refused to gratify it his interest returned to himself. "Say, I've a mind to go the whole way." "Where?" "Wherever you're going. Nothin' to call me back." "Madoc?" "We might take him along." "Not if he's sick. That would be as cruel to him as troublesome to us. Besides, you need go no further than yonder shore." "Them's the woods you got lost in."
It was soon alongside and Ricord's excited voice was shouting his good news: "Run him up to seven hundred and fifty!" "But I thought there wasn't money enough anywhere to buy him!" Pierre cocked his dark head on one side and winked. "Madoc sick and Madoc well are different." "Oh! you wretch. Would you sell a sick moose and cheat the buyer?"

Welsh historian and critic, b. at Pont Nedd Fechan, Glamorganshire, s. of a shoemaker. His works include The Literature of the Kymry , The History of Trial by Jury in Wales, and an essay in which he demolished the claim of the Welsh under Madoc to the discovery of America. He also wrote on the life and works of the bard Aneurin.
In my present situation I feel a pleasure in saying thus much. Thank God! Edith comes on Monday next. I say Thank God, for I have never since my return from Portugal, been absent from her so long before, and sincerely hope and intend never to be so again. On Tuesday we shall be settled, and on Wednesday my legal studies begin in the morning, and I shall begin with 'Madoc' in the evening.
'Pon my word I'm growing clever, Valencia, in spite of all your prophecies. Go up the Welsh coast. Nothing so healthy and airy as a sea-voyage: sea as smooth as a mill-pond, too, and likely to be. And then land, if you like, at Port Madoc, as I meant to do; and there are my rooms at Beddgelert lying empty.
