Charles Morris (poet)
Charles Morris (1745 – 11 July 1838) was a British poet.
He was possibly born near Cork, Ireland, the son of Captain Thomas Morris, whose family was of Welsh extraction. Thomas Morris was in the 17th foot regiment, as his father was before him and who had commanded it under the Duke of Marlborough during the War of the Spanish Succession.〔Patrick Waddington, ‘(Morris, Charles (1745–1838) )’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2011, accessed 20 July 2014.〕 Morris gained an ensigncy in the regiment in 1764 and later on was promoted captain whilst serving in America. After he returned to Ireland, he transferred to the Royal Irish Dragoons and His Majesty's Life Guards as he wanted to live in London.〔
On 14 February 1785 Morris became punchmaker and bard of the Sublime Society of Beef Steaks, a famous society limited to 24 members.〔Thomas Seccombe, ‘Morris, Charles’, ''Dictionary of National Biography, 1885-1900, Volume 39''.〕 He performed after Club dinners at Covent Garden Theatre.〔 Politically he was a Whig associated with Charles James Fox.〔
On 8 February 1773 he married the widow of Sir William Stanhope (a son of Lord Chesterfield), Anne Hussey Delaval (1737-1812).〔
