A sturdy Irishman (left) sits with his back to Pitt, who is careworn and emaciated, but says, extending his right arm with a propitiatory gesture, "My Dear Pat let us be friends, you know what happiness it will be to me to have an Union with you: I will make you Rich &amp; give you plenty of money &amp; provide for your Children. I have got the Treasury at my Command do not look so unpleasent, let us drink a pot of Wisky together." In his left hand is a large 'Union Bill'. Pat is plainly dressed with patched clothes, in his right hand is a mug of 'Irish Wisky', in his left a large shillelah. Beside him (left), and looking menacingly towards Pitt, lies a fierce mastiff, the collar inscribed 'Eron Go Bra.' He says: "You be D------d; No Union by Jasus what
<p><br>do you want of me: are you not after starving your own Country &amp; Bringing them to Beggary, none of your palarver for by the Holy God I will be after tipping you my Shalany". For the Union see BMSat 9284, &amp;c.; for the dearth in England, BMSat 9545, &amp;c.  14 May 1800
