"A satire on Lord Bute, his alleged relationship with the Princess of Wales, his supposed influence over the King and his use of writers as to defend his policies. Bute is represented by a boot set up on a pedestal on which is written "English places for Scotch Asses". A large thistle grows from the top of the boot and it is pierced by an arrow lettered "N. Britton". The Princess of Wales stands on the other side of the boot holding a shield with a thistle on it and saying “I'll present my Shield while thou canst Stand and raise thee up when thou art fallen”. At her feet a young lion, George III crouches saying “Tho they don’t shoot at me the darts fall very near”. Three Scotsmen stand behind commenting on the onslaught. Beyond the pedestal Arthur Murphy holds up a shield lettered "The Auditor", beside him Tobias Smollett holds the shield of "The Britton"; both shields have been damaged, the Briton by an arrow labelled "Monitor" that has been fired by Arthur Beardmore, editor of that journal. Beside Beardmore, on the right, Charles Churchill, in clerical dress, having just torn Murphy's shield and pierced the boot, lowers his bow saying “My country's good directs me where to aim”. Beside him the duke of Cumberland praises Churchill’s shot; next to the Duke, Earl Temple, also holding a bow, declares “We’ll down with this Scotch fool”; standing close behind him, William Pitt adds “’tis the general Cause Our Liberty”. Two columns of etched verse beneath."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on Lord Bute in the form of a reply to Henry Howard's bawdy ballad, "The Queen's Ass" (BM Satires 3870): the zebra kicks Howard, who has fallen to the ground, behind him a group of men comprising John Fielding, the three Cherokee chiefs who visited London in 1762, and another who may be identified as the man referred to in the verse below as "M-re [who] sally'd forth the fair Sex to relieve"; on the right, Bute, dressed in tartan and wearing a boot, riding a tamed British Lion; a Jewish stockbroker in the stocks; and George Whitfield looking into a mirror which reflects the image of an ass. In the background Charles Churchill, wielding a stick, chases off Bute's supporters, the journalists Arthur Murphy and Tobias Smollett, who raise their hands in surprise.

Abstract:
A satire on Lord Bute and Hogarth, with the head of Bute on a pole that rises from a huge jack-boot, the satirical emblem of John Stuart, Earl of Bute. On the boot is a meridian sun or Star of the Garter, a part of the Order's motto partial visible. The Briton, a journal devoted to Lord Bute lies on the foot of the boot; the scroll of "a Scotch Peace" is on the ground at the side. The "Auditor" (Arthur Murphy) bows before the boot. Other adorers include an old clergyman in spectacles. The blockhead, like those used by hairdressers, wears a Scotch "bonnet". On the ground near the pole stands William Hogarth as an old man with ass-ears and holding a print of "The Times" as he rushes forward to appeal to Charles Churchill who walks him from the right with a large whip in his right hand. In the background (right) the sun rises behind a flight of stairs as the Duke of Cumberland and Edward, Duke of York descend
