Poems on several subjects written by Stephen Duck, lately a poor thresher in a barn, in the county of Wilts, at the wages of four shillings and six-pence per week: which were publickly read in the drawing-room at Windsor-Castle, on Friday the 11th of September, 1730, to He Majesty; who was thereupon most graciously pleased to take the author into her royal protection, by allotting him a salary of thirty pounds per annum, and a small house in Richmond in Surrey to live in, for the better support of himself and family.
