When the King returned in November, 1752, from Hanover, Harcourt complained that dangerous and arbitrary principles were being instilled into the Prince, and stated it was useless for him to remain as Governor unless those who were misleading the lad were removed from their official positions about his person. A few days after this protest was registered, the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Lord Chancellor sent word that by the King's command they would wait on Lord Harcourt for further particulars of his grievance, but the latter declined to receive them on the ground that, "His complaints were not proper to be told but to the King himself." At a private interview with George II on December 6, Harcourt tendered his resignation, which was accepted; but a similar concession was not granted to the Bishop of Norwich, whose resignation the King preferred to receive through the medium of the Archbishop of Canterbury.[49] [49] Shortly after, Dr. Hayter's portrait was published, with these lines beneath it: "Not gentler virtues glow'd in Cambray's breast; Not more his young Telemachus was bless'd, Till envy, faction, and ambitious rage, Drove from the Court the pious sage; Back to his flock with transport he withdrew, And but one sigh--an honest one--he knew, 'O guard my royal pupil, Heaven,' he said, 'Let not his youth be like my age betray'd; I would have formed his footsteps in Thy way, But vice prevails, and impious men have sway."
