- Abstract:
- Satire: Britannia, whose spear is broken in her hand, sits on a monumental statue which is placed on a pedestal of "Rotten Stone"; she says: "My leaness my leaness, wo untio me the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously, yea the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. ..." At the foot of the monument lies the British Lion, dreadfully emaciated, wounded by three daggers, and breathing his last. Near him are the personifications Truth, Rapine, Envy, Ingratitude, and Infidelity -- representations of the powers of Europe
