| 98 | | Verses: "Three warnings" Hester Lynch Thrale née Salusbury. 1798. Originally entitled 'Three Warnings to John Bull before he dies, by an old acquaintance of the Public’. Written by Hester Thrale while staying at Warrens Hotel in the winter of 1797 and published anonymously in the spring of 1798. It retells Sir Charles Wager’s story of the Three Warnings and applies the fable to John Bull.2 It first appeared in Anna Williams’ *Miscellanies in Prose and Verse*3 and was later published separately as *The Three Warnings*.4. The poem is a narrative about a man who is given three warnings by Death before his time is up. It was written in 1781, during the American Revolution. The poem opens with a prosperous, comfortable man, married with children and respected in his community, yet marked by arrogance and complacency. One night he is visited by Death, who warns him that his time is short. The man pleads for mercy, and Death grants him three warnings before returning. The first warning comes as a lame leg. Although angry and frustrated, he eventually accepts it. The second warning brings blindness; devastated, he nonetheless adapts again. The third warning is deafness, leaving him completely cut off from the world. Only then does he recognise how carelessly he has lived and beg Death for forgiveness. It is too late. Death returns and claims him. The poem is a cautionary tale about arrogance and self-satisfaction and a reminder to value the time we have with those we love. |
