"Patri u|e Delia" as he is popularly known in Mata, was a prolific writer of Maltese poetry [besides writing in Latin, Greek, and Spanish]. Notably amongst which are several Legends in poetry in Maltese.<br>My sincere thanks to my good friend <a href="mailto:polvel@connexus.net.au">Paul Vella</a>, and the family of Kavalier Attard, who have provided me with the voice for some of these legends. Enjoy them here and where there is sound <img src="sounder.gif" width="25">, may I recommend that you listen to the readings while looking at the poem. The poems marked <img src="nosoundicon.jpg" width="25"> do not have a sound recording as yet.
