- Autograph manuscript of a poem on the debate contest at King Darius' court chronicled in I Esdras 3-4. In the end Darius promises to rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple as Zerubbabel's prize for his winning oration which argued that "women were more strong than wine; the ample pow'r of kings to them decline; but truth the strongest." The dedicatory preface quotes and compares several examples of classical and biblical verse, and explains that the Muses which he invokes in the poem are only a metaphor for natural poetic inclinations.
