Abstract:
Two asses on a bare patch of ground, with the first line of Shakespeare's 'Macbeth' below. The play begins with three witches in a storm deciding when to meet next ('When the hurlyburly's done, / When the battle's lost and won'). That there are only two asses in this parody presumably means that the dedicatee of the print, whose name is withheld, is the third

"Heading to a printed broadside, a parody of Hamlet's soliloquy spoken by George IV, beginning 'To be or not to be? and ending 'I'd rather drink and revel here in secret, | Than fly | Where I might meet her face to face'. The King, much burlesqued, stands with legs astride on the boards of a theatre, framed by curtains patterned with grapes, bottles, glasses, crowns, and antlers. On the back-cloth are crude Chinese figures. He has a huge head, with heavy drink-blotched face crowned by the towering curls of his wig, and holds a full goblet and a bottle of Curaco. With an expression of calculating melancholy he meditates suicide, on account of 'The scorns and satire of an injur'd Nation', but fears to meet his wife's ghost."--British Museum online catalogue
