A Comical ELEGY, On the Death of Evan Morgan, Son of shone ap Morgan Shentleman of Wales, who Departed this Life in her Grandmothers Hen Roost, on St. Taffies Day, being the First of March 1700.  

ATtend you welsh Men, while I do relate,  
How Taffy fell by sudden cruel Fate,  
It was her fortune last St. Taffies Day,  
To sit and muse as many others may;  
When on a sudden her Death Pangs came on,  
And in spite of her Plud her life was gone:  
All welsh Men sure will Mourn, and who can choose,  
When they do hear this strange unpleasent News:  
Oh! cruel Fate, what harm has Taffy done,  
That thou shouldst snatch away his Life so soon;  
'tis something hard thou couldst no longer stay,  
But fetch her hence upon St. Taffies Day;  
When her was feeding of her Granums Hens,  
And thought for, her past crimes to make amends:  
All her he Goates, and Female Kids, will Weep,  
When they percive that morgan is Asleep:  
Methinks I see, poor Taffy on his Knees,  
With Knife in's hand a Toasting of his Cheese;  
Methinks I see him eat it on a sudden,  
And swar's it doth exceed our hasty Pudding:  
Some think a Surfiet did her Vitals Seize,  
Which was brought on by Eating toasted Cheese';  
Yet others say who are of much more Skill,  
That Leeks and garlic, did poor morgan Kill;  
He used no physic but the Juice of Leeks,  
And lived on that same Diate many Weeks;  

read Herrings too, her thought a samous Dish,  
And did affirm they were the King of Fish,  
For better Victuals he did seldom wish:   
But tho he's Dead, it cannot be denied,  
Her lived until the very Day her died,  
But grief prevails and gains upon my Spirits,  
So that I must pass by his other Merits.   

Her EPITAPH.
