Charles Churchill, an influential English poet of the 18th century, was known for his satirical verses that targeted the political and social elite of his time. Through works like "The Rosciad" and "The Prophecy of Famine," Churchill fearlessly critiqued the establishment, earning both admiration and condemnation for his boldness.
"Though by whim, envy, or resentment led, they damn those authors whom they never read."
"Be England what she will, with all her faults she is my country still."
"Keep up appearances; there lies the test. The world will give thee credit for the rest."
