In 1811 the fortunes of the Peninsular War brought the subject back to Europe in the form of four "Spanish Eclogues, including an elegy on the death of the Marquis de la Romana" issued under the pseudonym Hispanicus. These were described in a contemporary review as "formed on the model of Collins". In the following decade they were followed by a vernacular "Irish Eclogue", "Darby and Teague", a satirical account of a royal visit to Dublin ascribed to William Russell Macdonald (1787–1854).
