N:”There is an old mansion called Meillionen, near Reddgelert, in Caernarvonshire;
N:and this Tune was formerly called Consêt Gwraig Meillionen, or the
N:Delight of the lady of Meillionen. It has also been called y Feillionen o
N:Feirionydd, therefore she might probably be a native of Merionethshire:
N:But Meillionen literally implies, the Trefoil.”
B:Jones - The Bardic Museum (1810, pp. 80-82)
N:Jones's transcription contains numerous variations for the harp.
