They held it safe for you and your kin:
Hereby a little may ye requite--
Give them the key to enter in!

How History is Written.
"The Prime Minister passed through Cardiff in a special train
this morning on his return from Ireland. The train stopped at the
station to change engines, but the right hon. gentleman was only
recognised by a few of those on the station."--_South Wales Echo._
"Mr. Asquith travelled _via_ Rosslare and Fishguard. It was
eight a.m. when he left the Pembrokeshire port and 10.25 when
the special train pulled up for a few moments at Cardiff. The
Prime Minister was then soundly asleep in a sleeping car."
