A messenger was detach’d, at our return, for a Welsh harper; who had play’d to us, during supper, and the two following hours, many delightful tunes;* our landlord also, who cock’d a pipe with Mr P[almer]., favor’d us with his accompanying voice; and I don’t recollect when I was more gratified; and exhilerated.  Were I a man of great fortune I wou’d retain one of these musicians in my family; as I find that some of the first Welsh gentlemen still do.

 *Sr. Watkin’s Delight.  Conceits of Lady Owen.  Sweet Richard.  Morvar-Rhudlan.  The Dimples.  Davy of Garry-Gwyn, &c. &c. &c.
