(Taliesin Hiraethog; 1841 - 1894), farmer and poet
verse and was also rewarded for a novel, ' Y Sesiwn yng Nghymru ' (on the Great Sessions of Wales). His free verse is rather better than his work in the strict metres. His best poems are, perhaps, ' Pryddest Llywarch Hen ' and ' Rhieingerdd Elwy ac Alwen.' He wrote a great deal for the

Her husband was a boor and a drunkard, and her life with him was unhappy. In 1746, a sermon by Peter Williams (1723 - 1796) brought her into

. But the truth is that we know very little about his career, except that he, too, was sheriff of Flintshire in 1695. For all that, he was a most interesting character. In the first place, he was one of the 'spirited proprietors.' He believed that
