Of the infernal pit, To find among their legions
One who excelled in wit; To ask of him assistance,
Or tell them how they may Subdue without resistance

Who rules the burning lake, Where his chief navigator,
Resolved a voyage to take ; For the Britannic ocean
He launches far away, To land he had no notion

It was his soul's intent Great George's throne to sit on,
And rule the Parliament;
