News at Eleven: Rather than remaining focused

on [Peter] Finnerty and Ireland, [Percy Bysshe] Shelley is concerned with England and the war:

Millions to fight compell’d, to fight or die
In mangled heaps on War’s red altar lie . . .
When legal murders swell the lists of pride;
When glory’s views the titled idiot guide.

from The Times Literary Supplement: Shelley's fantastic prank
