description

Summary

Satire on George III's court (the king plays the fiddler). Wilkes is carried off by a witch as he relieves himself on Lord Bute. Pitt talks with a half-naked Indian representing America and the devil dances with Henry Fox. Britannia has fallen on her head, saying "I'll dance no longer if America takes the lead."
