AMAZIA

Specialty Definition: AMAZIA

Literature

Amazia meant for Charles II, in Pordage's poem of Azaria and Hushai. We are told by the poet, "his father's murtherers he destroyed;" and then he preposterously adds -
"Beloved of all for merciful was he,
Like God, in the superlative degree."
To say that such a selfish, promise-breaking, impious libertine was "like God, in the superlative degree," is an outrage against even poetical licence and court flattery. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
