- Abstract:
- "Satire on the end of Lord Rockingham's administration shown as a dance at court. The verses below describe the protagonists who have been numbered in pen and ink: in the centre, Princess Augusta (1) dances with Lord Bute (2) their joined hands holding a leading string attached to Pitt (3) with a gouty leg who leans on his crutch, adorned with a coronet, as he converses with America, a half naked native American woman holding a bottle of rum. To the left of the Princess, stand Charles Townshend (4), holding a weathercock, beside his partner Britannia standing on her head, her shield and spear fallen on the ground. Further left, Lord Northington (5) robed as Lord President of the Council holds a glass of wine towards his elaborately dressed young woman (6; identified by Stephens as Betty Careless, although she had died in 1752). On the right, Henry Fox (7) dances with the devil; behind him are a Frenchman saying he will not pay the Canada Bills recompensing Britain after the Seven Years' War, and a Spaniard saying he will not pay the Manilla Ransom, a sum of two million dollars offered to Britain by the governor of Manilla when the city was captured. At far left, the king (8) plays the fiddle accompanied by two Scottish bagpipers. Wilkes (9) flies above, a copy of his Essay on Woman in his pocket, bound for Paris on a broomstick with a witch who says she will take him anywhere but to Scotland; he defecates on the head of Lord Bute. In the foreground stand four politicians: Temple (10) saying that he will get Francis Hayman to paint the scene for his garden at Stowe; Newcastle (11) wearing spectacles; Rockingham (12) wearning boots and carrying a riding whip; Winchilsea (13). Verses below in six columns, each with the chorus, "Doodle doodle doo""--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Satire on the dispute about whether peace should be forced on Britian. Britannia turns away, her "Bowels are all in an uproar", as a politician (presumably the Duke of Bedford, negotiator with France) holds out a phial containing the "Compostion of Peace"; behind him others discuss whether she should take it; Pitt is concerned that "she is but a Woman and her Constitution is weak", but Bute (dressed in tartan with a large jack boot) suggests that they form the medicine into "a Bolus [and] Gild it"; Cumberland warns that Bute could be answerable if Britannia is destroyed."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A satire, with figures drawn virtually in outline, including the images on artist easels. Starting from the right, the Princess of Wales, mother of George III, leans on a table, her skirts around her hips exposing her derrière to the bare-breeched Earl of Bute who stoops toward her. To the left of him is the French minister the Duc of Nivernois who also bows obsequiously toward the Earl and Princess. In the middle of the image are the representatives of Holland and Spain. On the left Hogarth in a Scotch kilt stands before his easel painting a large jack-boot; behind him is another canvas with a portrait of Pitt that has been scratched out. All of the images have speech bubbles in which they discuss how to curry favor at court. The satirical comments are directed against Hogarth after he accepted the position of Serjeant Painter to the King
