"On the further side of a stream, inscribed "Rubicon - Flu -", a bull representing John Bull is being baited. On his back sits Lord North in profile to the left., very obese and asleep; at his back is a large square pack, inscribed "Taxes". The bull is held by a rope which is twisted round a post inscribed "The Last Stake", the end being held by a Scotsman in Highland dress intended for Bute, and by a man in judge's wig and robes, evidently Mansfield. Two other members of 'the Junto' are goading the bull on, one with a pole, the other with a club. The bull is being attacked by France with a sword, and Spain with a spear. France wears a coat, hat and bag-wig of French fashion, Spain wears a slashed doublet, ruff and cloak. In front of an inn-door (l.) behind them stands George III, watching the struggle complacently, his hands in his pockets. Above the door the signboard, on which is a crown, is falling off, and hangs from one hook only. From a window a woman's arm empties a chamber-pot on to the king's head. In the foreground, on the nearer side of the "Rubicon" a Dutchman (r.) stands facing the wall of a building, urinating on a paper inscribed "British Memorial".--British Museum online catalogue

"Four bishops wearing mitres dance together, each holding the hand of the one opposite him so that four hands cross in the middle. They dance round the 'Quebec Bill' which lies on the floor. Other bishops, not wearing mitres, are seated in a semicircle behind them, watching with approval. On the left are three figures who appear to be directing the dance: Lord Bute in highland dress plays the bagpipes, next him is Lord North pointing to the dancers, and on North's left is a minister wearing a ribbon. Above their heads flies the Devil pointing to North with his right hand, his left forefinger laid against his nose. The scene is a panelled room."--British Museum online catalogue
