Connecticut's flood, on Merrymak's ebb
Note
"Connecticut's flood, on Merrymak's ebb" is attributed to John Winthrop of New London by M. Halsey Thomas in The diary of Samuel Sewall, New York, 1973, v. 2, p. 1100-1101.
Followed by a second poem, entitled "Connecticut's flood, on Merrymak's ebb," signed: "Extempore, March 10, 1720,21. Anthropos." First line: And is old Merrymak come to an end?
Imprint suggested by Johnson. According to Sewall's diary, an earlier edition of the first poem was printed Feb. 8, 1720/21. No copy is known.
The two poems are printed side by side on the sheet; possibly intended to be separated.
Verse of thirty-six lines, signed: January 15. 1719,20. S.S. [i.e., Samuel Sewall]. First line: Long did Euphrates make us glad.
