 | A Metrical History of England |  |
From George and Charlotte's union springing,
A third son sets the bells a ringing;
And William Henry glads the royal pair,
Whose union proves as fortunate as rare.
Events most opposite succeed each other,
Rejoicing in a son the sovereign mourns a brother,
And to the ruthless tyrant death,
The Old Pretender yields his breath.
