Two Variations on a First Line

Bryn Terfel, a singer from Wales,

Which is known for its lusty-voiced males,

Is the son of a farmer,

But still is a charmer

When dressed in tuxedo and tails.

Bryn Terfel, a singer from Wales,

Where a penchant for singing prevails, 

Gives representation

To his musical nation,

With all of the traits that entails.
