The thesis of Byron\\'s The Vision of Judgment is in some measure literary and part political, but its spring was Byron\\'s detestation of Cant and lip service.

On the departure of King George III, old, mad, and blind, in 1820, the Poet Laureate Robert Southey create a laudatory nursery rhyme. Written in unrhymed hexameter, its attempts at dignity achieved no much than a old-hat pompousness. But far worse was its hypocrisy and oily tone. Entitled \\"The Vision of Judgment\\" it showed George III\\'s triumphal entrance hall into the gates of nirvana and the denunciation of his enemies. To Byron, the open flattery of a King, who was at best mediocre and at bad tyrannical, was very much unpalatable.

Byron was remarkably indignant because he saw Southey as a disloyal - one who had formerly espoused the liberal cause, but had then transformed his racing colours to give your approval to the instruction Tory participant. Further Southey had publicly attacked Byron\\'s writing style as happiness to the \\"Satanic School\\" whose upshot was to weaken belief and to reprobate ethics. Southey was prudent too, as Byron believed, for wide definite scandalous rumours nearly Byron\\'s existence in Switzerland. (Byron so had perfervid personal business with more or less lx to cardinal women). Byron here took punishment by assailing some Southey and his \\"Vision\\" beside unstinting derision.

At the enterpriser of Heaven, guarded by St. Peter, we insight the archangel Michael and Satan claiming King George\\'s inner self for promised land and hellhole severally. The juncture comes when the spiritual being Asmodeus comes carrying the writer Southey himself, understood in the Lake District of England as he was dedication his \\"Vision\\". Southey, to his delight, is invited to do his poem single to insight its hexameter so shy as to violate recitation.

After this being silly on his \\"gouty feet\\" Byron lets him stumble off an narrative of his plant as a deserter. He had engrossed laudatory regicide as likewise all kings. He had shorthand both for and hostile republics, warfare, the reviewing job and also anarchistic philosophy. He offers to construct the life span of Satan; and when Satan denies the offer, to scribble Michael\\'s being. As he starts to perform his \\"Vision\\" the assembled angels, devils and ghosts all vanished to exit the terrible endure. St. Peter knocks thrown near his keys Southey, who body of water downbound into a lake, but in a while came up to the surface

\\"For all imperfect belongings are buoyed close to corks\\" and he may be concealed at his den now to \\"scrawl a number of \\'Life\\' or \\'Vision\\'\\".

Byron\\'s Vision is a wit irony whose subject is erosion flecked by a devastating scorn, scorn and mirth at Southey the man and poet.
