Sobre este item
c1730. . Manuscript poem attacking Walpole's conciliatory policies against Spain. Begins by proposing a copper plate showing 'three English Saylors' drawing a Spanish dustcard, the British lion rearing up to attack but 'Sir R. W...le' pulling him back by the tail. 12 verses of 9 lines each, presenting the government as kow- towing to and appeasing 'Don Diego'. Mentions 'Hosier the brave', Admiral Francis Hosier, who as Vice Admiral at the blockade of Porto Bello in 1726 was ordered not to fight the Spanish and take the port: 'When our Fleets were equipped you must certainly know/By him they were hindred from striking a blow/Thus Hosier the brave/Was sent to his grave/On an Errand that better had fitted a slave'. On four sides folio, in a neat hand, with some amendments. The second page has some wear and splits which have been repaired with archival tape. A strip of paper has been torn away, approx. 4" long, resulting in loss of the last word in six lines. Some very small edge tears. --- Please e-mail for one of my FREE CATALOGUES which include GENERAL [ Manuscripts, Maps, Ephemera, Views, etc., etc. ] ---
