- Abstract:
- A badger [Lord North] and a fox [Charles Fox] sit in an open hole dug in a side of a hill, facing each other and holding their right paws. The badger, with the Garter ribbon and in a bag wig, says, "The grapes which round this cavern grow in plenty / My new Friend Fox will prove to each a dainty." To which the fox responds, "Tho once I stunk you from your Hole / you now are welcome in upon my soul." A devil peeking from behind the grape vines points to both of them saying, "He he he -- he / They both are for me." A comment on the North-Fox coalition
