The following impromptu, occasioned by seeing an inverted
picture of the British tyrant. . .
  Behold the man! who had it in his pow'r,
  To make an empire tremble and adore!
  Intoxicate with folly; see his head
  Plac'd where the meanest of his subjects tread:
  Like Lucifer, the guilty tyrant fell,
  He lifts his heel to heav'n but points his head to hell.
