"Satire on Lord Bute in the form of a reply to Henry Howard's bawdy ballad, "The Queen's Ass" (BM Satires 3870): the zebra kicks Howard, who has fallen to the ground, behind him a group of men comprising John Fielding, the three Cherokee chiefs who visited London in 1762, and another who may be identified as the man referred to in the verse below as "M-re [who] sally'd forth the fair Sex to relieve"; on the right, Bute, dressed in tartan and wearing a boot, riding a tamed British Lion; a Jewish stockbroker in the stocks; and George Whitfield looking into a mirror which reflects the image of an ass. In the background Charles Churchill, wielding a stick, chases off Bute's supporters, the journalists Arthur Murphy and Tobias Smollett, who raise their hands in surprise. Engraved inscriptions, title and verses in two columns by "Fartinando", to be sung to the tune of "The Ass in the Chaplet"."--British Museum online catalogue
