"King George still powder-grimed from Dettingen / Called in thick tones, 'My Lord, fetch ink and pen. / I'll write a threatening note in my own hand. / This Chinese Potentate must understand / That Britons have a quenchless fame to brag. / No insult shall defile our glorious flag. / Two Bristol ships at Hankow fetching tea, / Boarded and robbed at wharfside as they lay / Of a costly cargo! Ha, Sir! Let me boast, / My Fleet stands ready to bombard your coast . . .'". Seller Inventory # 29M100340
