Alfred Tennyson, the Poet Laureate, wrote a quatrain in honour of Frederica's marriage, focusing on her relationship to her blind father, who had died two years before: O you that were eyes and light to the King till he past away From the darkness of life — He saw not his daughter — he blest her: the blind King sees you to-day, He blesses the wife.
