- Abstract
-
In a parody of Fuseli's Nightmare Lord Shelburne lies asleep on two rows of spikes inscribed with article numbers from the peace treaty with the United States. 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." Next to Shelburne's habitually smiling face crouches Lord Ashburton in a lawyer's robe and wig, holding a smelling-bottle and saying, "take comfort my Lord. for you I will be always Dunning."
