I am looking for a poem called 'emma' it was written by John Scott (1730 -1783 ). He was from Amwell in Herts. Amwell is named after Emmaswell. Apparently this emma fell and died in the well. John Scott wrote a poem for her and it is inscribed on a stone at the well itself. I have searched all over and can not find the poem, has anyone got any ideas where else I can try without going there, its a tad of a long drive for me lol |

google Scott of Amwell. There is loads of stuff on him and the poem may be amongst it. |

Amwell is not a million miles from here, but I am afraid I can't get there at the moment as I am a tad overstretched!!! If you don't get any joy, send me a PM later in the summer and I will see what I can do. |

SF You could try contacting your nearest big reference library and asking them to look it up in Granger's 'Index to Poetry.' Might not be there, but worth a try - or they might have something similar they could use. They would probably do it by phone or email. Roger |

I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the poem your after but try this site; http://quartet.cs.unb.ca/tapor/cgi-bin/view-works.cgi?c=scottjoh.1168&pos=1 You'll need to scroll down a bit to where it has pg 85 or the number 378. I'm not sure if that is part of the poem your after, but further down there is a reference to Emma's Well after number 402. It's about a 1/4 down the page. Gypsyjoe |
