Poems, 1788-1803 / by the late Baroness Ferdinand Hompesch.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/209720811

Comprises poems to family members (her brother Hugh, her sister Joanna Christian, Louise de Hompesch, Baron William Hompesch, and to Baron Ferdinand Hompesch); on places (Netley Abbey, Carisbrooke Castle, Winchester Cathedral, the Isle of Wight), on the death of Robert Burns, and to Napoleon. There are also translations from German and French, but mostly a number of translations from Metastasio. Collection appears to have been compiled and annotated by Clementina Elphinstone, whose name appears on the title page, and who is the subject of one of the poems "To Clem: Elphinstone" on folio numbered 124. This collection was completed after the death of the Baroness Ferdinand Hompesch in 1803, and probably after 1805 (after the death of Sir Richard Worsley, 1751-1805, see note on f. 6v).
