Celtic Fairy Tales, XXI. Beth Gellert., sentence 53

There certainly was a local legend about a dog named Gelert at that place; E. Jones, in the first edition of his _Musical Relicks of the Welsh Bards_, 1784, p. 40, gives the following _englyn_ or epigram:

Who acts: local legend · What happens: be, name, give, follow · To what, where: local legend, dog, place, englyn
