He also tells that he wants to go and meet his friends at theatre and say “A terrible beauty is born”. This shows a dualistic nature of rising.

The Jacobite risings of 1715 and 1745-46 were the two most serious threats to the Hanoverian crown in 18th Century Britain. Although there were numerous smaller attempts at returning the Stuarts to the throne the ’15 and ’45 remain the closest to succeeding.
