- Abstract:
- "Satire on the resignation of Lord Bute. George III is enthroned, Peace and Fame flying above and a large dog and a lion crouching at his feet; he welcomes the Duke of Newcastle and William Pitt who kneel before him (it was assumed that these two men would return to government, although in the event George Grenville replaced Bute). Britannia is seated in the centre of the print, facing a hydra-headed monster of faction; she is saying "See this and Tremble all you that wish evil to Israel" (Israel standing for England); behind her a Spaniard and a Frenchman despair at their loss. At top left, the Lord Mayor of London (probably intended for William Beckford) and a group of aldermen approach the king with a petition. At top right, a witch flies off on a broomstick over the "Flus Jordanus" to the "Alpes Herbronites" (the River Tweed and Scotland) carrying Henry Fox, two other ministers and the devil. One of the ministers wishes that "the Devil had the Author of Gisbal" (see BM Satires 3848) alluding to the role of the satirists in driving Bute to resign. Charles Churchill and John Wilkes fire at the broomstick, Wilkes wanting "One Pounce more and we will bring that Irish Owl to the Ground". In the foreground, on the right, Princess Augusta runs off carrying a diminutive Bute in a large boot on her back; she is chased by the Duke of Cumberland brandishing a sword and crying "Damn the Scotch Loon he flies faster than his Bretheren did in 45. If I come up with him I'll spoil his Running"; the young Duke of York runs with him. On the left, a group of sailors harrass a Scotsman declaring,"We will stand by our Noble Captain till not a Sawney be feft in the Land", "O O Jack see what this Dog has got to wet his Whistle with" and "Lend me your Sneaker [a rod] Tom I'll Probe him who knows but the Rascal has got his Belly full"; coins fall from the bagpipes clutched beneath the Scotsman's arm."--British Museum catalogue
