Handwritten poem, signed “Sarah W. Perry of Newport Rhode Island,” one page, 8 x 9.75, with a notation at the top reading, “The following lines, by a Lady, were suggested by the removal of Com. Bainbridge.” Poem entitled “To the American Eagle,” reads, in part: “Fly back to thine eyry, and gaze on the sky, From the shame on thy flag, in scorn turn thine eye-Fly back to thine eyry, and dwell with the sun, For dastards would tarnish what valour hath won. Go! forget when thy country, in danger’s dread night, First saw thee emerging to glory and light-When high o’er the wild rage of battle and Sea, Thou waved thy bold pinion unblenching and free.” In very good condition, with intersecting mailing folds, and scattered areas of moderate toning.
