- Abstract:
- "Satire on peace negotiations with France to end the Seven Years War with Lord Bute (Gisbal) seated on a hill holding the muzzled British lion. He takes the royal prerogative in ordering the Duke of Bedford (shown as headless with eagle's wings) to haste to negotiate with the kings of France and Spain. The French king demands "Canada, & Martinique, & Guadalupe, Senegal, & Goree, & Newfoundland, & Pondicherry; & you shall have all Hanover ...", while the Spanish king is prepared to refrain from attacking Portugal in return for Havana and his "Dollars"; two mocking Frenchmen look on. On the left, Britannia weeps and Pitt tries to comfort her while two other Englishmen complain of Bute's rise to power. Verses above warn against a too hasty peace treaty."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Satire on the negotiations for peace with France. A scene in a slaughter house with a tethered bull over which Lord Bute raises a poll axe while a French cook exclaims to a butcher that the calf's head (the Duke of Bedford) that he holds has no brains. Verses below allude to slaughtered sheep hanging on the wall and beside the block as "Butcher'd and Sold ...for Curst Gallic Gold"; they blame British humiliation on the Scots."--British Museum online catalogue
