('As it was, or') The state Sampson fireing the foxes, or Borean majority (BM 1868,0808.4809)

Lord North, in profile to the left, kneels on one knee holding a fire-brand to the tail of a fox. He blows a visible blast at the flame to kindle it. Other foxes with flaming tails run away from him. Above his head a number of cherubs seated on clouds are directing blasts of air at the burning foxes; some puff with distended cheeks; one plies a pair of bellows; another, labelled "Scotch Assistance", and wearing a tartan plaid, puffs from a set of bagpipes. Above North a monkey collects in a funnel held in his mouth the blasts blown by three cherubs and discharges them at the foxes through his fundament. 15 March 1782
