"Heading to engraved verses: 'Sung with Unbounded Applause by Mr Miller, at the royal Circus'. A handsome young sailor, wearing long trousers and a striped jersey, stands full face, cudgel under the r. holding up his hat. He is framed in trees; behind is the river, with boats and wherries, and, across the water, the river-front of Greenwich Hospital. He relates how he ran away to sea, sailed 'the world around' with Nelson, was taken prisoner, and escaped from a Spanish prison. The verses end: 'I've run many risks on ocean and on shore, But always like a Briton, got the day, And fighting in old England's cause, will run as many more But let me face ten thousand foes, will never run away.'"--British Museum online catalogue
