On his chest stands a fox with Fox's face, tearing at his crotch with his front paws and urinating on his face while saying, "If He opens his mouth I will be down his Throat." Above Shelburne's feet hovers Lord North's head saying, "the North fog Rot Him."

- Abstract:
- "Four men stand on the sea-shore, in back view but looking to the right: the King of Prussia stands between Holland (left) and Pitt (right); he holds Holland by the ear and kicks Pitt behind, saying, "This is the balance of Europe". Pitt, who is blindfolded, says, "yes I'll maintain it"; he holds out in each hand a naming fire-brand to two towns on the right, 'Cronstadt' and 'Rerel' [sic]. The whole district is in flames, and there are four other burning cities (one 'Riga'); the flames and smoke from all six merge and are inscribed 'Russia', 'Poland', 'Germany', 'Austria'. The sea which stretches between Pitt and the burning cities is the 'Baltic'. On it is a boat containing four men: the helmsman says, "I would rather be a Baltic trader"; the two oarsmen say, "Do not mind it, it will bring other wars" and "No prize money"; a man looking through a telescope says, "No Galeons - Storms, Sholas & Rocks." A man standing on the shore shouts to the boat "nothing good to be got by it." Frederick William, who wears crown, military uniform, and jack-boots, conceals behind him, half thrust into his coat-pocket, a paper: 'Danzic & Thorn'. Holland, a fat burgher, is smoking; he says "What a blessed Alliance". In his right hand is a paper: 'pyg--t O I hope all dis vill end in a Smoke.' The fourth man, who stands on the extreme left, is a British citizen who scowls as he reads a newspaper inscribed 'The Trade of the Baltic Lost - New Taxes Malt - Porter'. Across the sky stretches a large scroll inscribed 'The Cause of the War'; from it is suspended a tiny medallion: 'Ocsakow'."--British Museum online catalogue
