Perhaps to-morrow my uncle might say, 'Where is Valmai? She has never brought me my book. Here it is, though," she continued, "safe under the crumbs of the gingerbread. I bought it in the Mwntroyd. 'Tis a funny name whatever." "Yes, a relic of the old Flemings, who settled in Caer Madoc long ago." "Oh! I would like to hear about that! Will you tell me about it some time again?"
"Yes, indeed, you have, whatever, because I am not used to be out in the night. The rabbits have frightened me too, they are looking so large in this light." "I am sorry. It is very brave of you to walk all the way from Caer Madoc alone." "To Abersethin it is not so far," said the girl. "Do you live at Abersethin?" "Yes, not far off; round the edge of the cliffs, under Moel Hiraethog." "Oh!
Marie, the Bruce copper mine on Lake Huron, the gold-bearing quartz veins of Madoc, the Gatling gold vein of Marmora, the Acton and the Harvey Hill copper mines of Canada, the copper veins of Ely, Vermont, and of Blue Hills, Maine, the silver-bearing lead veins of Newburyport, Mass.; most of the segregated gold veins of the Alleghany belt, the lead veins of Rossie, Ellenville, and at other localities farther South; the copper bearing veins of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee; the veins carrying argentiferous galena in Central Kentucky and in Southern Illinois; the silver, copper, and antimony veins of Arkansas; and the lead and zinc deposits of Missouri and the Upper Mississippi.
Z. Gray, in a note on these lines, quotes Selden's note on Drayton's Polyolbion: 'About the year 1570, Madoc, brother to David Ap Owen, Prince of Wales, made a sea-voyage to Florida; and by probability those names of Capo de Breton in Norimberg, and Penguin in part of the Northern America, for a white rock and a white-headed bird, according to the British, were relicts of this discovery.
"Madoc, another of Owen Gwyneth's Sonnes, left the land in contentions betwixt his Brethren, and prepared certain Ships with Men and munition and fought adventures by Seas, sailing West and leaving the coast of Ireland so farre North, that he came to a Land unknown, where he saw many strange things.
"But it was, sir, I do assure you, and the descendants of Madoc and his people are still to be found in a part of America speaking the pure iaith Cymraeg better Welsh than we of Wales do." "That I doubt" said I. "However, the idea is a pretty one; therefore cherish it. This is a beautiful country." "A very beautiful country, sir; there is none more beautiful in all Wales."
Rumor asserted that they were partly Welsh, descended from the lost colony of the Welsh prince, Madoc. Now this Madoc, a prince of the early Welsh people, set sail about the year 1180, with ten ships, to found a colony in a new Western continent that he claimed to have discovered. He never was heard from. He and his ten shiploads vanished.
But the longer poems, if they are ever to live, are still dry bones. Thalaba, one of the best, is spoilt by the dogged craze against rhyme, which is more, not less, needed in irregular than in regular verse. Joan of Arc, Madoc, Roderick, have not escaped that curse of blank verse which only Milton, and he not always, has conquered in really long poems.
In this connection, writing of Southey, soon after intelligence was received in this country of the decay of his intelligence, from her coffee estate in Cuba, Mrs. Brooks says: When a child of ten years old I could admire the poem "Madoc," such is the simplicity of its sentiments and the beauty of its delineations. This song may be found in the first part of the poem mentioned.
In less than ten minutes the two young men had left Caer Madoc behind, and were fast lessening the distance between them and Brynderyn. "Very kind of you to meet me; and what a splendid horse," said Gwynne Ellis. "Carries his head well, and a good stepper." "Fond of horses?" asked Cardo. "Oh! very," said the high-toned voice; "riding and painting are the chief delights of my life "
