An old, mad, blind, despised, and dying King;
Princes, the dregs of their dull race, who flow
Through public scorn, -- mud from a muddy spring;
Rulers who neither see nor feel nor know,
But leechlike to their fainting country cling
Till they drop, blind in blood, without a blow.
A people starved and stabbed in th' untilled field;
An army, whom liberticide and prey
Makes as a two-edged sword to all who wield;
Golden and sanguine laws which tempt and slay;
Religion Christless, Godless -- a book sealed;
A senate, Time’s worst statute, unrepealed --
Are graves from which a glorious Phantom may
Burst, to illumine our tempestuous day.
Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822): England in 1819, 1819 (unpublished in the poet's lifetime)

To myne unhappe for happe away hath rent
Of all my joye the vearye bark and rynde
And I (alas) by chaunce am thus assygnde
Dearlye to moorne till death do it relent
but syns that thus it is by destenye
What can I more but have a wofull heart
My penne in playnt, my voyce in wofull crye
My mynde in woe, my bodye full of smart
And I my self, myself alwayes to hate
Till dreadfull death, do ease my dolefull state
