TALIESIN'S PROPHECY.
A prophecy of Taliesin relating to the Ancient Britons, is still extant, and has been strikingly verified. It is to the following effect:
"Their God they shall worship,
Their language they shall retain,
Their land they shall lose,
Except wild Wales."
A voice from time departed, yet floats thy hills among,
O Cambria! thus thy prophet bard, thy Taliesin sung!
The path of unborn ages is trac'd upon my soul,
The clouds, which mantle things unseen, away before me roll,
