Abstract: "Satire on the dispute about whether peace should be forced on Britian. Britannia turns away, her "Bowels are all in an uproar", as a politician (presumably the Duke of Bedford, negotiator with France) holds out a phial containing the "Compostion of Peace"; behind him others discuss whether she should take it; Pitt is concerned that "she is but a Woman and her Constitution is weak", but Bute (dressed in tartan with a large jack boot) suggests that they form the medicine into "a Bolus [and] Gild it"; Cumberland warns that Bute could be answerable if Britannia is destroyed."--British Museum online catalogue
