A PICTURE OF A CERTAIN NATION.
A Prince with a dozen children and an empty treasury.
His Queen yearly remitting large sums to the bank of Venice,
for fear of accidents.
. . . [24 lines with similar derogatory statements on the
King]
His foes equipping great fleets, and raising great armies.
And in the midst if this crash of ruin, this great man can
go composedly to see a puppet show, or laugh with a buffoon.
O wretched England!
