The historical figure who wrote these words is option A. Phillis Wheatley. "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty 1768", is a poem written by Phillis Wheatley. The poem is addressed to both the King and God. She praises the King and hopes he lasts long and people can reward him for how great he is. Then she asks God to help the King to fulfill his duty.
