Excerpt from British Reason in English Rhyme This rendering of 'Welsh Proverbs' was made by my father in the last few years of his life. Originally undertaken as an employment for leisure hours, the work grew under his hands, and it was finally his intention to translate all the 'Welsh Proverbs' together with such of the laws and Bardic aphorisms as seemed to embody and give expression to the national wisdom. In many cases the original meaning of the proverbs was hard to discover, owing to the quaintness of their diction and the obscurity of the illustrations by which they were expressed. The English Rhyme, therefore, does not profess to be a literal translation of the British Reason; it merely attempts to express the original sentiments in language as far as possible analogous to that used by the Welsh sages. My father had intended to write an introductory essay dealing with the subject as a whole, but at the time of his death this was only just commenced.

Book Description
From the INTRODUCTORY NOTE. This rendering of 'Welsh Proverbs' was made by my father in the last few years of his life. Originally undertaken as an employment for leisure hours, the work grew under his hands, and it was finally his intention to translate all the 'Welsh Proverbs,' together with such of the laws and Bardic aphorisms as seemed to embody and give expression to the national wisdom. In many cases the original meaning of the proverbs was hard to discover, owing to the quaintness of their diction and the obscurity of the illustrations by which they were expressed. The English Rhyme, therefore, does not profess to be a literal translation of the British Reason ; it merely attempts to express the original sentiments in language as far as possible analogous to that used by the Welsh sages. My father had intended to write an introductory essay dealing with the subject as a whole, but at the time of his death this was only just commenced. Until lately I have been prevented by other work from giving up the time necessary for correcting the press. As it is, my work has been much facilitated by the kindness of Professor Rhys, who has revised all the Welsh before it was finally sent to press, though where the Welsh is capable of various meanings he is not responsible for the rendering adopted. I am glad of this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging my indebtedness to him. -W. W. V., Brighton, 1889.

Book Description
Excerpt from Rhyme and Reason My friend, I believe, is as nearly secure As anyone now is; at least I am sure That if merit can strengthen his tenure, he'll stay Till he wants to resign, or death takes him away. You'd like him, I'm sure, if you know him as I do, For he's one of the very few men you can tie to. Rare character? Yes, you're felicitous there. He is one of a class so remarkably rare That the newspapers speak of it often as non est, Being thoroughly, conscientiously honest; Not rough, like the commoner plain, blunt kind, But polished in manners, in speech refined; And yet a certain unconscious air Bids any who might presume beware Lest quick resentment should make them feel That under the polish is solid steel.

Book Description
Excerpt from Rhyme and Reason: Short and Original Poems Question to be decided by the candid Critic alone. The Writer is not without hope that this gentle Readers who are conversant with modern Poetry (as it is termed most courteously) will thank him for his attempt to combine Rhyme and Reason, on the Score of Novelty. The Author declares openly to Critics of all Descriptions, that he is not so courteous to himself as to think that his Poems have the smallest Claim to the Title of Poetry.

Book Description
Excerpt from Rhyme or Reason Clarence the writer of nimble topical verse in the Central Otago News, is a discovery. Up till now he has preserved the secret of his identity with remarkable success and there must have been much lively speculation among Central Otago readers as to who this skilful rhymer with such an uncanny knowledge of local events could be. A golfer only needed to make himself conspicuous, and Clarence sang about it; a fisherman only needed to let the big one get away, and there it was, the whole story, in black and white, told to a joyous lilt. Clarence again. Was it any wonder that a man began to look with suspicion at his neighbour? As a fellow writer of verse of sorts I admire the deftness and facility with which Mr Fenwick expresses himself in rhyme. He is a young writer who should go a long way with his peculiar gift of verse making, and I have no doubt that Central Otago people will in future years be able to look with pride on his achievements, for I am confident that this work is but a beginning. There is of course verse writing - and verse writing - but Nick Fenwick's verse is of a high order. It is not mere writing for the sake of achieving a rhyme; nor is it a mere striving after effect. Every stanza sails along with an artful lilt, every line scans, and every poem is written with a definite end in view. That, I think, is one of the secrets of humorous verse - there must be the sting in the tail, the poem must work to its appointed end. Nick Fenwick meets these demands perfectly. For these reasons, and because he has a natural sense of humour, and what is just as important in verse writing, a word sense, I think he will go a long way as a rhymer.
