An interesting proclamation issued by Cromwell's Parliament against the King of Portugal, by way of reprisal against his practical expression of sympathy towards the Stuart cause. Prince Rupert had "treacherously run away with some of the English ships and royalist adherents, and was enjoying the hospitality of the Portuguese ports, where he had sought and found sanctuary from attack, when "the Parliament of England did send forth a fleet to Lisbone in pursuit of Prince Rupert."

The losses inflicted upon Portuguese commerce by Blake's fleet were so heavy that it was necessary for Portugal to enter into a Treaty of Commerce and Friendship with the Commonwealth in 1653.

Fisher was made poet-laureate in 1650, or, in his own words, after the Restoration, "Scribbler " to Oliver Cromwell. He wrote not only Latin panegyrics and congratulatory odes on the Protector, dedicating his works, as in this case, to Bradshaw, and the most important of the parliamentary magnates, but also composed a constant succession of elegies and epitaphs on the deaths of their generals. Thus the above work concludes with odes on the funerals of Ludlow and Popham.
