LINES TO KING GEORGE II by ALEXANDER POPE

Poet Analysis

First Line: O ALL-ACCOMPLISH'D CAESAR! ON THY SHELF
Last Line: AND THERE TRIUMPHANT SING THY SOVERAIN'S PRAISE.
Subject(s): GEORGE II, KING OF ENGLAND (1683-1760);
O all-accomplish'd Caesar! on thy Shelf
Is room for all Pope's Works -- and Pope himself:

'Tis true Great Bard, thou on my shelf shall lye
With Oxford, Cowper, Noble Strafford by:
But for thy Windsor, a New Fabric Raise
And There Triumphant Sing Thy Soverain's Praise.
