1760 - George II dies
Aged 77, and George III
Replaces him as monarch of these isles
Ireland in fact becoming united
With Britain in 1801. We've heard
Of so many events of George's reign
He reigned so long he even outlasted
Napoleon's rule, though feats of Wellington
Were after dementia set in, unknown
To the old blind George. The Yanks cut their ties
To Britain in '76, stated
Independence and then went on to win
It in war. The Prince Regent was despised
As extravagant, with huge costs incurred
