Rich
and gleaming,
Wealth
unseemly,
Wales
from Grace is falling.
Saxons
raiding,
Many
slaying,
Britons
now bewailing.
Modern
cities
Awfully
gaudy –
Leprous
sores are spreading.
***
Wise
and holy Gildas,
Resting
quietly in Rhuys,
The
pure sea breezes blowing
Gently
on the shores of Brittany
. . .

Holy
Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!
Anathema
to the Union!
