8. Work and Play 1820-36
279 - Greenwich Hospital

Engraved by E. Goodall for Rogers' Poems, 1834, P.33 (Rawlinson No.377) as an illustration to the Pleasures of Memory' Part II:

Go, with old Thames, view Chelsea's glorious pile...

Go, view the splendid domes of Greenwich - Go...

Hail noblest structures imaged in the wave!

A nation's grateful tribute to the brave.

Hail, blest retreat from war and shipwreck, Hail!

That oft arrest the wondering stranger's sail...

A slight preliminary sketch of the subject in pencil and wash is T.B.CCLXXX-94.
