A Lilliputian ODE ON THEIR MAJESTIES ACCESSION.

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,
Pleas'd all.

God send
No End,
To Line
Divine,
Of GEORGE and CAROLINE!
