This plaque on the Harp Inn is paternalistic advice to the locals from the owner, Lord Newborough, in the form of Welsh verse commissioned from Eben Fardd (Eben the Bard), an impoverished, dyed in the wool Calvinist, school master of Clynnog - real name Ebenezer Thomas (1802-1863)- who was regarded as the foremost poet of his day. A rather limp English translation by WC is carved beneath it. http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-THOM-EBE-1802.html
