Description

War of 1812
Handwritten Poem Celebrating Admiral Perry's 1813 Naval Victory Over The British During The Battle of Lake Erie
(OLIVER HAZARD PERRY & Battle of Lake Erie). Handwritten American Manuscript Commemorative Poem Signed, "Ruggard", Choice Very Fine
July 4, 1821-Dated, Impressive and unusual Handwritten American Manuscript Commemorative Poem Signed, "Ruggard" presented on a single piece of fine quality period laid paper, measuring 12.75" x 7.5" with an Integral Envelope, mailed to Cincinnati, Ohio, Choice Very Fine. This Patriotic American Poem for the theatrical play, "The Olio" according the the Cincinnati Library. This being presented in celebration of American Commander Perry's famous naval victory over the British Fleet on Lake Erie September 10, 1813.
This great victory was the first time in history that an entire British Fleet was defeated in battle and captured, virtually intact. This entire page and a third long poem is written upon a single two sided sheet, which folds into a small addressed packet envelope. It was once sealed with red wax, addressed to the, "Editor of the Olio - Cincinnati, Ohio" apparently for publication or its use in Cincinnati. A great patriotic American poem in the style of the period. It is well written with dark brown pen inclusive of several corrections, as made, upon clean solid paper. It reads, in full:
(Headed) "For The Olio - Perry Victory on Lake Erie 10th Sept. 1813"
"Perry he comes behold his speading sails
Rides high in Ethan wafled by the gales
He speaks my son see Barclays fleet away night
Prepare to action Conquer or to die
The gardian genius of Lake Erie's deep
Stood speechless wondering & he began to weep
Like some hovering seraph anchored in the air
To view with wonder the conflicting pair
Old Nepture trembled & his sea nymphs fled
All filled with wonder and with dread
And great Livathian that does guard the deep
Was roused astonished from his liquid sleep
The maremaid wondered & she wept aloud
To see the men mangled belcher rising to the vaporing cloud
And tenfold thunder bursting in the air
This roar of the cannon by the lightning glare
Like elements embattled whirl winds rend
To take the rock & all the mortars lend
To crush the forest fire alarms tare
The growth of nature waft it in the air
Tremenous roars like great riggards fall
The mind astonished by the senses all
See brave Columbia & John Bull engage
One fought with venom and one with rage
In dreadfull combat on a watery field
Each floating battery & service shield
Each fair broadside in high marctime Ire
Seemed blagering sheets & awfull streams of fire
Lake Erie trembled & fort Maldon gaged
The awfull thunder & the lightning blazed
Press on leocronnies (sic) hovering Justice cried
Justice O'Perry Justice on thy pride
The victory Gained by thy heroic powers
We met Great Brittain & were made them ours -
July 4th 1821 ----- (Signed) Ruggard".
