A POEM
To his Majesty King George, II. on the present State of Affairs in
England,
with Remarks on the Alterations expected at Court, after the Rise of the Parliament.
By the Rev. Dr. J. Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's. In Lilliputian Verse.
SMILE, smile,
Blest Isle.
Grief past
At last.
Halcyon
Comes on.
New KING,
Bells ring,
New QUEEN,
Blest Scene!
Britain
Again
Revives,
And thrives.
Trade brisk,
All frisk.
Fear flies,
Stocks rise.
Wealth flows,
Art grows.
Bards write,
Things bright.
Strange Pack,
Sent back.
Own Folks,
Crack Jokes.
Those out,
May pout.
Those in,
Will grin.
Great, Small,
Pleas'd all.
God send
No End
To Line
Divine,
Of GEORGE and CAROLINE.
