That in the mountain those who scarce had seen a book,
Most skilfully will make, as though from art they took.

Y mae ôl Humphrey Floyd a John Williams ar wybodaeth Drayton. Teithio drwy Gymru y mae'r bardd yn ystod saith neu wyth ganiad cyntaf y gerdd. Dyry'r Cymry a'r Saeson i gystadlu a'i gilydd i bwy y perthyn "Lundy," y naill ochr a'r llall yn canu eu gorchestion, ac afon Hafren yn torri'r ddadl drwy ddywedyd bod Lundy yn perthyn i'r naill yn gystal â'r llall- enghraifft deg o ddull y Tuduriaid. Dyma fel y dywed Hafren wrth roi ei barn:

That when the Norman line in strength shall lastly fail,
(Fate limiting the time) the ancient Briton race
Shall come again to sit upon the sovereign place.
A branch sprung out of Brute, th' imperial top shall get,
Which grafted in the stock of great Plantagenet,
The stem shall strongly wax, as still the trunk doth wither;
That power which bare it thence again shall bring it thither
By Tudor, with fair winds from Little Britain driven,
To whom the goodly bay of Milford shall be given;
And how Llewellin's line in him should doubly thrive.
