15906Early eighteenth century. Another later version published in the Gentleman's Magazine London May 1744. 2pp. on both sides of a strip of 35.5 x 11.5 cm laid paper with fleur-de-lys watermark. In a secretary hand employing the thorn and long s. In fair condition on aged and worn paper. An untitled forty-line poem divided into five numbered eight-line stanzas. The narrator is an older married woman advising a younger woman not to marry with observations on the frailties of the male sex. The first stanza reads: 'Ere ye. read ys. ye. may suppose. That some new listed Lover. By means of Poetry has chose. His Passion to discover. Know Faire one I am a Matron Grave Which Time & Care has wasted And would thy Youth from sorrow save Which I have in Wedlock tasted.' A variation of the poem was published in the Gentleman's Magazine May 1744 with the title 'The MATRON's Advice to a YOUNG LADY A new BALLAD. Tune Sally.' The grammar of the Gentleman's Magazine version is more modern in tone its first line reading: 'Ere you read this you may suppose' and the variations are most apparent in the third stanza including 'Beset thy dwelling' in the published version for 'Surround thy Threshold' in the manuscript; 'heedless' for 'regardless'; 'Pass all your minutes' for 'Thy Moments pass on'; 'While flames are offer'd at our shrine And Men like Idols sue us' for 'Darts flames & hoards adorn Our shrine And Awful Hymen woo us.'

When the captain finds her body 'floating on the main' two days later he casts himself overboard to 'share the same fate'.

Signed and inscribed by author, dated 1918, atop first blank leaf. 66 pages. Accepted by the Royal Society of Canada as part of their Proceedings, 1918. "Tsoqalem, according to the Indians, was a real historic character, a member of the Cowichan tribe, a Vancouver Island division of that linguistic group of the Salish stock known to us under the term Halkomalem, whose habitat is and was the Lower Fraser Valley. How far the incidents of this story are literally true it is now impossible to say, as myth and fact are inextricably woven together in it; but there can be little doubt that an Indian of the character of Tsoqalem existed some generations ago among the Cowichans, and met with a tragic end at the hand of a woman, somewhat in the manner recorded in the story." - from Foreword.

Clarkson, Alverthorpe Hall". ESTC fails to attribute this to an any particular author, however, the contemporary inscription on the upper cover does give strong evidence to Benjamin Clarkson as being the writer of these poems. Benjamin Clarkson (d. 1820), a Wakefield attorney, resided at Alverthorpe Hall. "Several well known circumstances which happened some years ago in the town and neighbourhood of Wakefield, gave rise to the following Ballad". (Advertisement leaf).
