The interior of a boarded sty in which a great boar, with the head of George IV, lies upon straw, boar and straw being spotted with black. Castlereagh empties a bucket of brandy into an overflowing trough, while Sidmouth leans over the half-door to squirt the animal with his clyster-pipe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9849). The former says: "Friend Sid-- the Augean Stables were nothing to clense, compar'd to this Stye!!!" Sidmouth: "Aye, my worthy Fellow Servant, you will find the Stye, your Masterpiece! and with all my care, I can't make this Beast appear decent, he is so cover'd with filth!!" The first and last of five verses: 'In fam'd Pell-Mell [Carlton House] is kept a Boar, Which no strong tie can bind, No Savage Beast e'er known before, Was like it in its kind: Its breech so large, 'twould fill a barge. Its craw much larger still; To fill which full, One Mister Bull Pays dear for Brardy-Swill! . . .  This Brute, unlike all other Boars, A faithless treacherous he Befouls its stye, and wastes its stores  With each foul Boorish She! While belching still, its foul-breathed will, Its true-mate's life it seeks; And in the stretch of beastly lech Each tie of Nature breaks!!!'."--British Museum online catalogue</dc:description><dc:description>Title from text below image.</dc:description><dc:description>Five numbered stanzas of verse below title: In fam'd Pell-Mell is kept a boar, Which no strong tie can bind ...</dc:description><dc:description>Three lines of text above imprint: The above hymn was written in a pious mood, on a saintly subject, and sung with pure devotion by a holy-assemblage of faithful worshippers ....</dc:description><dc:description>"Price one shilling"--Below imprint.</dc:description></oai_dc:dc>
