Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Love of Our Country: A Poem, With Historical Notes, Address´d to Sir Watkin Williams Wynn of Wynnstay The following poem was wrote, chiefly, to inculcate the love of their country, to men of learning and fortune in Wales. As it is the author´s first performance in the English tongue, it cannot be expected it should be a faultless piece, if indeed (as Mr. Pope says) any such be in rerum naturâ. However, the candid will make allowances; and as to the Critics of both Reviews, I suppose they will bestow their usual favours on it, nor shall I dispute their prerogative - Ultro submitto fasces. But it may be, with propriety, asked, What have I, who am a Welshman, to do with English Poetry? I answer, That the ill usage our country has of late years received from English writers, will both warrant and justify any, the very dullest retainer of the Muses, to stand up in its defence. - facit indignatio versum.
