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.

Dublin:Printed by little George Faulkner in Christ-Church-Yard, 1727.
