    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[An antislavery poem sometimes attributed to Hannah Moore (1745-1833), who may have derived it from William Cowper&#039;s &quot;The Negro&#039;s Complaint.&quot;  This broadside is printed in three columns within an overall decorative border; the columns separated by decorative rules.  Above the second column there is a woodcut of a white man (the English missionary in the poem) leading an African woman away from the shore. The woman&#039;s body is turned toward the water where she was intending to drown herself to escape enslavement. There is a fort with cannon and palm trees to the left of the pair suggesting a location in the West Indies (the St. Lucie [St. Lucia] of the poem). The poem describes Yamba&#039;s conversion and ends with a condemnation of &quot;ye British Sons of Murder&quot; who are engaged in the slave trade. ]]></dcterms:description>
