English poem
On the present King of Great-Britain
by Joseph Hazard (1807–1892)
For treach'rous acts, and base designs, King Charles condignly bled; Ignobly, throughout hist'ry, shines A Monarch without Head:
But Britain's Sov'reign, George the Third, Who base the Despot reigns, Will shine in hist'ry more absurd— A Monarch without Brains.
