Royalty Fog-Bound Or The Perils Of A Night, And The Frolics Of A Fortnight

Royalty Fog-Bound Or The Perils Of A Night, And The Frolics Of A Fortnight: A Poem (1814) is a satirical work by the pseudonymous author Pindar, Peter. The poem is a humorous critique of the excesses and follies of the British aristocracy during the Regency era, particularly their love of gambling, drinking, and other forms of debauchery.The poem is divided into two parts: the first part describes a foggy night in London, during which a group of aristocrats are trapped in a carriage and forced to confront their own mortality. The second part of the poem takes place over the course of a fortnight, during which the same group of aristocrats engage in a series of wild and extravagant parties and adventures.Throughout the poem, Pindar, Peter employs a witty and irreverent tone, poking fun at the pretensions and foibles of the upper classes. He also uses the poem to comment on broader social issues of the time, such as the corrupting influence of wealth and the need for greater social equality.Despite its critical tone, Royalty Fog-Bound Or The Perils Of A Night, And The Frolics Of A Fortnight: A Poem (1814) is also a celebration of the joys of life and the pleasures of friendship and camaraderie. The poem is a lively and entertaining work that remains a popular example of Regency-era satire.Also Contains: The R----L Marriage; Or, Miss Lump And The Grenadier.
