CURIOSO Y NUEVO ROMANCE DONDE SE REFIERE EL MAYOR, Y MAS LAMENTABLE SUCESSO, QUE HAN ADMIRADO LOS SIGLOS, EN LA DESECHA BORRASCOSA TORMENTA, QUE HA PADECIDO NUESTRA ARMADA ESPAÑOLA...[caption ... A four-page ballad describing the enormous storm experienced by the Spanish fleet in 1719 and of the miraculous preservation of the ships which eventually arrived safely in Cadiz. It was this same great fleet which Spain had gathered at Cadiz and Corunna for the invasion of the west of England directed by James Butler, the attainted Duke of Ormonde. A rare, possibly unique, piece of early 18th-century Spanish verse. Not recorded in Palau, NUC, or on OCLC.
