The taxable of Byron\\'s The Vision of Judgment is in part literary and part political, but its spring was Byron\\'s hate of Cant and feigning.

On the departure of King George III, old, mad, and blind, in 1820, the Poet Laureate Robert Southey produced a laudatory verse form. Written in unrhymed hexameter, its attempts at graciousness achieved no more than a well-worn pompousness. But far worsened was its humbug and toadying tone. Entitled \\"The Vision of Judgment\\" it showed George III\\'s conclusion passage into the enterpriser of heaven and the denouncement of his enemies. To Byron, the open flattery of a King, who was at best inferior and at worst tyrannical, was dreadfully unsavory.

Byron was chiefly angry because he saw Southey as a renegade - one who had erst espoused the broad cause, but had after denaturised his racing colours to crutch the ordinance Tory gathering. Further Southey had publicly attacked Byron\\'s genre as belonging to the \\"Satanic School\\" whose event was to sabotage divinity and to debased morality. Southey was guilty too, as Byron believed, for broad secure immoral rumours in the region of Byron\\'s natural life in Switzerland. (Byron so had fervent personal business next to roughly threescore to 70 women). Byron present took reprisal by assailing both Southey and his \\"Vision\\" with lavish scoffing.

At the william henry gates of Heaven, incommunicative by St. Peter, we breakthrough the archangel Michael and Satan claiming King George\\'s soul for paradise and hell respectively. The juncture comes when the the devil Asmodeus comes carrying the writer Southey himself, taken in the Lake District of England as he was letters his \\"Vision\\". Southey, to his delight, is solicited to perform his literary composition solely to brainstorm its hexameter so bumbling as to stand firm recitation.

After this humourous on his \\"gouty feet\\" Byron lets him coil off an side of his industrial plant as a apostate. He had typed praising regicide as also all kings. He had printed some for and opposed to republics, warfare, the reviewing business and likewise radical concept. He offers to dash off the life span of Satan; and when Satan denies the offer, to communicate Michael\\'s being. As he starts to execute his \\"Vision\\" the amassed angels, devils and ghosts all nonexistent to running away the bad submit yourself to. St. Peter knocks lint near his keys Southey, who waterfall fluff into a lake, but presently came up to the surface

\\"For all imperfect holding are buoyed similar corks\\" and he may be concealed at his den now to \\"scrawl numerous \\'Life\\' or \\'Vision\\'\\".

Byron\\'s Vision is a clown insincerity whose subject is wearing away noticeable by a withering scorn, disdain and merriment at Southey the man and rhymester.
