A Lilliputian Ode on their Majesties Accession
Smile, smile,
Blest Isle!
Grief past,
(At last)
Halcyon
Comes on.
New King,
Bells ring;
New Queen,
Blest Scene!
Britain
Again
Revives,
And thrives.
Fear flies,
Stocks rise;
Wealth flows,
Art grows.
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!
on the coronation of George II in 1727
