First Line: Smile, smile, / blest isle!
Last Line: Of george and caroline!
Subject(s): George Ii, King Of England (1683-1760)


SMILE, smile,
Blest isle!
Grief past,
At last,
Halcyon
Comes on.
New King,
Bells ring;
New Queen,
Blest scene!
Britain
Again
Revives
And thrives.
Fear flies,
Stocks rise;
Wealth flows,
Art grows.
Strange pack
Sent back;
Own folks
Crack jokes.
Those out
May pout;
Those in
Will grin.

Great, small
Pleased all.

God send
No end
To line
Divine
Of George and Caroline!
