London. Aug 16. One of our monarchs (probably not Kind
George the second) is said to have been exceedingly offended
on finding the following lines, written with a pencil, in
one of the pavilions of Richmond Garden: They seem
intended for a parody of the famous epitaph upon King
Charles, By Wilmot Earl of Rochester:
God bless our b----p making King!
But send us soon a new one!
To do perchance a generous thing.
And sometimes speak a true one.
[signed] Merlin.
