A polyglot poem by Sir John Macpherson (c.1745-1821), politician, diplomat and former Governor General of Bengal. He conducted a tour of Italy with the Hapsburg Duke Leopold of Tuscany in 1789 immediately before the latter's succession of the the Holy Roman Empire. The preface to this collection of verses in English, Latin, German, Italian and French applauds the strong political leadership of Leopold II, whilst the poems themselves support his son, Archduke Charles of Teschen, in his military struggle against the forces of Revolutionary and Napoleonic France.
