Well, based on things said in the poem, you can figure this out pretty easily. First off, we have a poem about a highwayman. His dress, and weaponry are significant as well. He's wearing a "French-cut Hat". This is probably a gold embroidered black Tricorn, or something similar. "A Coat of Claret Velvet" refers to a velvet coat of a deep, rich red. His "Boots were up to the thigh". Long leather boots, more than likely with a folded cuff at the top. Given this outfit, and mention that he was outfitted with a rapier, it can be suggested that his pistols were single shot flintlock pistols. Redcoats are involved, and since moorlands are referenced, we can say this was probably set during the time of King George III, somewhere in either England, or Scotland during the 1700's.
Hope this helps! :)
