It would appear the author of this poem, Jechiel Foa, was very possibly the son of the Amsterdam printer Nethanel ben Jechiel Foa, whose career spanned the years 1702-15. In 1752 Jechiel Foa published an elegy upon the death of William Prince of Orange. See Ya'ari, “Ha-Madpisim B'nei Foa” in idem, Mechkarei Sepher (1958), p. 333, no. 45
