Marlbro.

I think the following _englyn_ or epigram on a silkworm, which is composed

entirely of vowels, will satisfy your correspondent. I have seen it in some

book, the name of which I forget. It {473} must be borne in mind that _w_

is a vowel in Welsh, and is sounded like _oo_ in _boot_.

"O'i wiw [^w]y i weu e a a'i weau

O'i wyau e weua;

E' weua ei [^w]e aia'.

A'i weau yw ieuau ia."

"I perish by my art; dig my own grave;

I spin my thread of life; my death I weave."
