1759, so much that year
George Washington got married to Martha
The British Museum opened its main door
And of course there was the Seven Years' War
Which reached its height over in Canada
Wolfe beating Montcalm at Quebec, but the
Price for both was death. At Quiberon, a
Big naval victory over the French, their
Navy never recovering. In India
Britain and France clashed once more, off the shore
Robert Burns was born, Adam Smith's lectures
Were published, Mary Wollstonecraft first stirred
Also born, German poet Friedrich Schiller
Not forgetting William Pitt the Younger
