"A satire on King Louis XV of France accusing him of treachery showing him sitting on a throne under a canopy, his crown is held over his head by Pride on his left, a peacock in front of her, and two-faced Treachery on his right, behind whom the devil flies waving a firebrand and a Jesuit stands holding up a candle and scroll lettered “Persecution”. The king wears a black mask and the costume of a Roman general, a cloth adorned with fleur-de-lis round his legs and his sandaled feet rest on two books lettered “T[reatie]s”, a paper with the same lettering lies beside these and an open book. An obsequious courtier, a chain round his ankle attached to a book, kneels at the king’s feet as the king hands him a yoke. On the king’s other side another elegant courtier, his ankle chained to a log, exclaims “Oh! Wh(a)t a great Monarch”, a scene of “The [St Bartholomew's Day] massacre of Paris” hangs on the curtain behind the king. To the left of the canopy is an obelisk bearing the image of a weeping “Europa” with her bull and above this a medallion of the “Cat & monkey”. Around the obelisk are a Spaniard holding a rosary and kneeling in prayer before a statue, a Genoese man and a Bavarian (identified in the verses below); at their feet are the words “Here we stand for ye Glory of France”. In the sky above the Eye of Providence looks down on a pair of scales in which the British lion outweighs the French fleur-de-lis. On the right demon is about to hang Justice as a Cardinal (Tencin?) holds up a cross; beside this a man wearing a wig wooden shoes sits astride a braying donkey waves his hat and cries “Vive le Roy”. At the bottom are three scenes: [at left] three men “Burning of Treaties” and the “Pr[agmati]c S[anctio]n”; ... ; [at right] scenes of executions, torture, a village burning and a monk leading a band of troops while another holding up a cross says “one K[in]g one R[e]l[igio]n”).
