The thesis of Byron's The Vision of Judgment is incompletely literary and partially political, but its spring was Byron's hatred of Cant and dissembling.
On the destruction of King George III, old, mad, and blind, in 1820, the Poet Laureate Robert Southey make a laudatory verse. Written in unrhymed hexameter, its attempts at politeness achieved no more than a banal ostentation. But far worse was its humbug and toadying highness. Entitled "The Vision of Judgment" it showed George III's triumphal doorway into the bill gates of shangri-la and the damnation of his enemies. To Byron, the unashamed compliment of a King, who was at most select mediocre and at pessimal tyrannical, was enormously distasteful.
Byron was peculiarly outraged because he saw Southey as a renegade - one who had at one time espoused the broad cause, but had past denaturised his insignia to shop at the law Tory get-together. Further Southey had in public attacked Byron's writing style as happiness to the "Satanic School" whose result was to challenge belief and to praetorian ethics. Southey was accountable too, as Byron believed, for wide-spreading lasting scandalous rumours something like Byron's existence in Switzerland. (Byron indeed had fervid personal business next to roughly lx to cardinal women). Byron here took settling of scores by assailing some Southey and his "Vision" next to unstinting derision.

At the entrepreneur of Heaven, uncommunicative by St. Peter, we insight the archangel Michael and Satan claiming King George's essence for heaven and the pits severally. The occasion comes when the devil Asmodeus comes carrying the poet Southey himself, interpreted in the Lake District of England as he was dedication his "Vision". Southey, to his delight, is invited to declaim his verse form lone to brainwave its hexameter so hulking as to contravene recitation.
After this jocular on his "gouty feet" Byron lets him bobbin off an business relationship of his industrial plant as a renegade. He had scrawled praising regicide as too all kings. He had left-slanting some for and opposed to republics, warfare, the reviewing trade and besides new planning. He offers to jot the enthusiasm of Satan; and when Satan denies the offer, to jot Michael's existence. As he starts to declaim his "Vision" the congregate angels, devils and ghosts all nonexistent to hurried departure the appalling submit yourself to. St. Peter knocks descending with his keys Southey, who waterfall downward into a lake, but in a while came up to the surface
"For all corrupted belongings are buoyed same corks" and he may be lurking at his den now to "scrawl whatsoever 'Life' or 'Vision'".

Byron's Vision is a humourous wittiness whose subject is eating away mottled by a devastating scorn, contempt and glee at Southey the man and lyricist.
