WHENCE this wild uproar,Oh ye muses tell ?
Are rageing furies from the shades of hell
Seated in triumph on the British throne ?
Or is the fceptre fway'd byGeorge alone ?
'Tit George, ye Demons ! cease your anxious care,
While he presides your aid is needless there :
Bute, North and Hutchinson his foul inspire,
You may securely to your cells retire.
What guilt so black, such vengeance to provoke ?
Why thus heav'ns wrath against Britannia smoker
Is there no scourge which justice might employ
By milder means Britannia to destroy ?
Why not a Caligula wear the crown
And Britain only fink beneath his frown /
Why not a Nero less for blood inclin'd,
Whose lenity might spare half human kind ?
What e'er the raufe of ancient tyrants told,
Shall be henceforth in dark oblivion roll'd.
And future bards in mournful drains shall sing
The bloody tragic deeds of Britain's king !
What bloody schemes his cabinet disclose,
The groans of millions lull him to repose!
His mercy death on his best friends bekow'd
What scenes of daughter and what seas of blood !
Mis fubjed foes mull wear the galling chain, V
Implore reliefby death, but afc in vain.
Some Ottoman the tragic tale shall tell,
While grief and pity Turkish bosoms swell.
The British court the Hottentots shall scorn
Or such depravity of nature mourn.
Those fads posterity shall difbßieve
That Britain once did law to Europe give---
Thatjuftice once the British fceptre fway'd,
That nations once her righteous li^s obey'd.—
That once her power made haughty tyrants cease,
Chain'd up fern war, and gave the nations peace ;
'Till heaven, vindictive vengeance to display,
Plac'd in the hand of George, imperial sway ;
When savage blood-hounds at his fierce command,
Roll'd desolation o'er the defin'd land---
Gave Britain up to the devouring flame
And put a period to its envy'd name I
'Tis fable all, posterity 'll maintain,
Mankind was ne'er difgrace'd by such a reign !
'Tis but poetic fiction, they'll agree,
Such barbarous tyranny could never be ;
Thus Britain shall by future bards be sung,
Like an tient Illium in the Grecian song.
The tyrant smiles on mountains of the slain,
Th' atlantic bounds, his fury can't restrain ;
He stretches o'er the weft his iorn hand,
His ufoifters of death at his command,
Presume to tread with their unhollowed feet,
This fertile foil, fair freedom's happy feat.
Ye fon's of freedom, heaven's peculiar care,
With all the bright appendages of war,
& 1 lingering justice from its slumbers rife,
And execute the vengeance of the Ikies.
Rush like a mighty deluge on the foe,
And fend them howling to the ffiades below.
