The Devil (right) squats on a low circular stool before a fire which he blows with bellows to heat a cauldron hanging from a hook. He says,
<p><br><br>"God save great George our King
<br>God bless our noble King;
<br>God damn the Broth it will never Boil."
<br><br>"God" (three times), "George", and "damn" have been scratched through but left fully legible.
<br>Behind and on the left sit North (left) and Fox (right); Fox with his right arm round North's shoulders, North offering him a spoonful from the dish which he holds on his knees, at which (as Boreas) he is blowing. North is sitting on a cylindrical roll inscribed "Budget". Fox, who has a fox's head, sits on a chest inscribed "Pandora's Box". Fox says, "Blow hot! Blow cold! He! He! He! with the self same Breath my Lord - give me a sup of your soup - I have often cool'd your Porridge my Lord! Hay? He! He! He!" North says, "My dear Reynard you are welcome to a Spoonfull - Be cautious! - a little of my Broth goes a great way - 'tis d------d high seasond - look at my Cook he &amp; my Freind . . . hum! . . . with the consent of the . . . hum, did both . . .  hum the Nation. Over the fire-place is an oval medallion of the heads of North and Fox, called "COALITION MEDAL". This is a free rendering of Sayers s print of that name, see BMSat 6183.
<br>The words of the title are placed under the three characters: North is "BONUS", Fox "MELIOR", the Devil "OPTIMUS".  22 April 1783
