King of the perennial holly-groves, the riven sand-
stone: overlord of the M5: architect of the his-
storic rampart and ditch, the citadel at Tamworth,
the summer hermitage at Holy Cross: guardian of
the Welsh Bridge and the Iron Bridge: contractor
to the desirable new estates: saltmaster: money-
changer: commisioner for oaths: martyrologist:
the friend of Charlemagne.
'I liked that,' said Offa, 'sing it again' (1.1-9).
