Synopsis
Excerpt from Ballads of the Fleet: And Other Poems
Included in the present have mostly appeared before, either in the first edition of Ballads of the Fleet or in the Violet Crown, both of which are now out of print. The story of Drake has been completed by the addition of some new pieces, and the former divisions of the subject have been broken up into shorter poems, in deference to friendly criticism. Abou Hamed appeared in the Spectator, to whose editor my acknowledgments are due.
