An interesting essay about Stuart at artvee dot com. I’m afraid you’ll have to browse there and use the search function at the site, but if you do, the search term “Brownlow” gets me right to it. Among other tidbits: the guy messed up financially so bad that when he died, his family couldn’t afford to buy him a grave in consecrated ground. Ten years later, when they had the money, they couldn’t remember where they’d put him. Ah, the love of a good family….

/// Shown here fingerin’ fine Irish linen,
William Brownlow’s kin were the beginnin’
of that industry which is
what had brought him his riches,
and a Parliament seat he’d long been in.

He’s a giant of injury law/
But he doesn’t look good in the raw/
And when he wears shorts/
In His Majesty’s Courts/
The juries are prone to guffaw.
Call me Ishmael 26 days ago
Clear of eye, and determined of jaw/
From afar he appears without flaw/
But when you draw near/
Imperfections appear/
Which from far away you never saw..///
Midst the morally compromised/
His presence is highly prized/
But among honest men/
He’s unwelcome – for then/
He can’t look anyone in the eyes

Brownlow always referred to Stuart as ‘that bloody illiterate Yank’ for leaving out the ‘u’ in the title.

This fellow certainly resembles Horatio Gates the Revolutionaty War General, who won the Battle of Saratoga in 1777:
Having led troops into battle, Horatio Gates
Fought in our Country’s Revolution
And won at Saratoga in ‘Seventy-seven.
Sans Congressional debates
He got a medal that so commemorates
