- Abstract
-
In an outdoor setting, Charles Fox, with a fox's head, and Lord North, both kneeling, supplicate Edmund Burke for absolution, in Fox's words, of the "sins not yett committed." Lord North, having confessed that his "sins are manifold and grievious," promises to submit to Burke's "holy injuctions & drink small beer all my life time." Burke, dressed in a monastic garb and biretta, his right hand raised in the act of benediction, points with his left one to the steep hill in front of him, on top of which stands gallows with a body hanging from it, and directs Fox and North to "go & sin no more ..." Behind Burke is another steep hill with a cross on top and a kneeling figure next to it.
