Two poems in ink, bound into volume 3 of a collection of tracts on Queen Caroline. "On the Death of Her Gracious Majesty Queen Caroline," seven quatrains, begins, "Creature of Dust, frail Insect of an Hour / Can nought inform thee of thy certain Doom . . ."; bound immediately preceding tract 3. "On the Death of Queen Caroline," six quatrains, begins, "Daughter of Brunswick's Warrior Line, With whom entomb'd thou soon shall be . . ."; bound immediately preceding tract 4. Both poems apparently in the same unidentified hand; they apprear to be fair copies. It is uncertain if they are original; no published version of either could be traced.
