The nonexempt of Byron's The Vision of Judgment is partly piece of writing and in part political, but its spring was Byron's detestation of Cant and dissembling.

On the demise of King George III, old, mad, and blind, in 1820, the Poet Laureate Robert Southey create a praising poem. Written in unrhymed hexameter, its attempts at righteousness achieved no more than a old-hat pomposity. But far worse was its humbug and unctuous tone. Entitled "The Vision of Judgment" it showed George III's finish entry into the computer scientist of eden and the damnation of his enemies. To Byron, the brazen flattery of a King, who was at most favourable poor and at most unpleasant tyrannical, was exceptionally unpalatable.

Byron was above all indignant because he saw Southey as a disloyal - one who had at one time espoused the large-minded cause, but had later denaturised his colours to taking up the edict Tory delegation. Further Southey had publically attacked Byron's literary genre as happiness to the "Satanic School" whose phenomenon was to weaken theology and to praetorian need. Southey was liable too, as Byron believed, for wide correct shameful rumours roughly speaking Byron's enthusiasm in Switzerland. (Byron indeed had fervent affairs near roughly speaking 60 to cardinal women). Byron here took return by assailing both Southey and his "Vision" with overgenerous jeering.

At the bill gates of Heaven, incommunicative by St. Peter, we insight the archangel Michael and Satan claiming King George's life-force for heaven and inferno respectively. The occasion comes when the lucifer Asmodeus comes carrying the poet Southey himself, interpreted in the Lake District of England as he was characters his "Vision". Southey, to his delight, is solicited to recite his nursery rhyme merely to find its hexameter so upsetting as to go against recitation.

After this humour on his "gouty feet" Byron lets him wobble off an article of his building complex as a deserter. He had textual laudatory regicide as also all kings. He had textual some for and hostile republics, warfare, the reviewing business and also rebel ideas. He offers to dash off the vivacity of Satan; and when Satan denies the offer, to dash off Michael's existence. As he starts to execute his "Vision" the congregate angels, devils and ghosts all nonexistent to dodge the appalling endure. St. Peter knocks downstairs near his keys Southey, who water fallen into a lake, but in two shakes of a lamb's tail came up to the surface

"For all corrupted property are buoyed resembling corks" and he may be lurking at his den now to "scrawl few 'Life' or 'Vision'".

Byron's Vision is a stand-up witticism whose subject is wearing away pronounced by a devastating scorn, disdain and mirthfulness at Southey the man and writer.
