The final session of the Eisteddfod
last evening resolved itself into a big
festival of harmony, love feast, q

signal, the poets obedient helpmate
would arise and make a proper note
Of the thought-of word. About an hour
after new inspiration would seize

call out: Maria, get up, get up

company generally listened to the
story with admiration, but the bright.
