'The author of many occasional pieces on social and political subjects, Sempill was widely known as a poet and wit ... In his autobiographical poem 'The Banishment of Poverty by His Royal Highness J.D.A.' (i.e. James, duke of Alban), he gives a lively narrative of his troubles, including his sojourn in the debtors' refuge at Holyrood' [DNB]
