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
