DESCRIPTION:
An old poem shows how there is nothing new under the sun - the repeated return of the same historic processes in new clothes ...
Brexit - A Liliputian Oder on their Majesties' Accession by Henry Carey, published 1729.
"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!"
