DescriptionThe lower margin reads: "Ph. Mercier inv.t et pinx.t/ I. Faber fecit 1739./ Ammon's great Son, who ravag'd Asia thro,'/ Sigh'd, that more Thrones were wantng to Subdue,/ Ye Slaves to Glory, and an empty Name,/ I envy not your Thirst of toilsome Fame;/ Go, take in Worlds by Conquest as you please,/ Leave me but Master of two Globes like these./ Publish'd according to/ Act of Parliament."
