Parody notes and wartime ciphered finance included
A fragmentary piece blending a dated war narrative with a political parody. It cites British and French military moves, treasures captured and losses, followed by a corrosive verse about a parody writer, ending with a clipped reference to Katherine II and a fictional conflagration scene.
The Northern Clans and the Patriot’s Fate
A turbulent blaze of verse lauds a northern leader’s weapon and pen. It celebrates Scottish bravery, warns of civil strife, and pledges merciful fame to the chieftain whose fame spreads from goose quill and battlefield. The piece blends praise with exhortation for limitless glory.
