lbe fofoaoins notice of MADoc istaken from TIE
. BItj5 Monthly Magasine.

TIE foiNoqofng notice of MADoc istaken fran, re
BiTtjb d1ontbl7 A1agasine.
The heroic epopea iuflypaifes for the mott
oifhchlt achievement OF poetic art the clafficaI
works of this kind are itiIl rare, not in our Ian
guage only, but even in the collective MATS of
literary PRODUCTION.
The fable OF Madoc has much pecuIiaritv. 1T
is the conqueft Of Mexico by CORES, antedated.
IL mas two parts. In the former, Madoc mar
rates to his brother, the Wrln King, both the
motives and the confequences of his VOYAGE and
dltcovery, and collects frefh fuppIy of Colo
niits to fettle the country he had found. His
departure from Wales terminates this diyifion
OF the poem, which has eighteen books. The
hneit OF them are entitled Cadwalon, L,ewel-
Ign, Llaian, Rodri. The flory of the blind cv-
netha, the interview with the riehtfui heir of
Wales, the diicovery of Hotels child, aud the
farewell OF Rodri, are among the mott pathetic
genes 10 the whole compass ofepic poetry. The
Iault or TINS part conihSin its dwelling too lit
I've on the voyage. which Isl the proper bufinefs
OF the poem and too much on the internal
ieuds of Wales, the refult of which are not TO
occupy the readers attention. There is alto
an Improbable refembiance between the fryersl
female characters introduced. -
In the fecond part, Madoc and bis new az
tociates arrive in Aztlen, but find the natives
no longer in friendly and hofpitable temper.
heir iuperititious prgjudices have been alarm
cd, and they are confederated to expel IT,
chriitjan intruders. Il war begins. Madoc is
taken prifoner, & ontbe point of being facrifced
TO idols. The courage and kill of the few
VEIN at length triumph over the favaec hordes,
VINO agree 40 evacudte province in favour of
Madoc and his companions. This diviiion of
the poem hastwenty-feven books ,thofe mig hit
have beer much condenfcd, which are fubfe-
quent to the refcue of Madoc for the event
is from that time decided, and the intereR de-
Gays. The Snake God, the Battle, the Yicto.
ry, are good cantos and the epifpde Of coa,eI
and Lincoya is affecting. The characters ofthe
idvages are well drawn; they are more difcrirni-
nate and various than thofe of the Europeans.
The total abience of mythology, confoDance
with chronicle and tradition, and the antigua.
rian fidelity Of cofume, with which the map
ners both oftbe Welih ard Of the Indian natl
ons are depiGcd, give to this poem an impTef
iion Of reality attained in no other Imiar work
The degree ofillnGon approaches that produ-
ced by the hittoric plays of Shakespeare IL
bearsto thofe epic poems, in which fupernatti-
raj machinery Is employed, the relation which
4 tragedy bears to an opera. AdfofIe defines
the epopea 10 be tragedy in recital !; this def
nition applies clofeIy TO Madoc.
With the exception OF marvellous i6tcrpaiti-
on, this poem has many reEembances with the
Odyifey, the Htnrid, aid the LaGsd and will
