"Satire on Lord Bute, his patronage of Scots in London and his alleged relationship with Princess Augusta. Bute stands in the centre, holding his staff suggestively and encouraging Scots ('Hebronites') who are shown crossing the River Jordan in waggons and on foot, eating porridge and 'sowens' (a porridge-like food enjoyed in Scotland ); in the foreground a barefoot Scot carries a child in a pouch and leads another by the hand, another carries a broadsword and target, and 'Jubal' plays the bagpipes while an English waggon-driver complains that his horses had been killed by being overloaded. Three politicians, Pitt, Temple and Newcastle each claiming that they will retire from politics sit at a table on which lies a copy of the anti-Bute newspaper, the Monitor; the British lion sleeps and a fox (Henry Fox) whispers in its ear that it should sleep on. On the right, Princess Augusta and her ladies sit under a canopy surmounted by a French cock and turn toward Bute admiring his figure; Britannia weeps, crying "Degenerate Daughteres, I disown ye all"."--British Museum online catalogue
