David Carnegie Andrew Agnew

Summary

David Carnegie Andrew Agnew Protestant Exiles from France… (1886)

The true spelling was Ducros or Du Cros, and refugees of that name may be found in the Naturalization Lists in my vol. ii. So that a descendant of refugees is, perhaps, memorialized in old Tom Hood’s artistically facetious
Blank verse written in rhyme.
“Even is come, and from the dark park, hark!
The signal of the setting sun, one gun.
And six is sounding from the chime, prime time
To go and see the Drury-lane Dane slain,
Or hear Othello’s jealous doubt spout out;
Or else to see Ducrow with wide stride ride
Four horses as no other man can span.”
