Summary[edit]

A man with an ass's head blindfolding a woman who is vomitin
Title
A man with an ass's head blindfolding a woman who is vomitin
Description

A man with an ass's head blindfolding a woman who is vomiting into a bowl held by an ape-like man, a quack takes her pulse while a fox-like man prepares a clyster-pipe; satirising Lord Bute with Britannia and France, together with Smollett and Fox. Etching, 1762. It reads:
The Evacuations
or
An Emetic for Old England Glorys - Tune Derry Down

Our Country OLD ENGLAND appears very ill
O Sick, Sick, at heart. Since she took a Scotch Pill
Behold her Blindfolded, the Quack is upon her

and ADMINISTERS, what makes her give up her honour

Derry down
O Honour - Oh GRACE - oh disgrace view our Treasures
Our Conquests thrown up, and falln into french MEASURES
Brother Gambler the F**, that the DOZE should not fail
To Loose her Back settlements, takes her intail.
&c
Heres a PEACE of the Puffmasters wisdom - a Bubble
An empty exchange, for men money and Trouble
Aloft the Dutch Boor and the french ape are grinning
They laugh at our Losses and what they are winning
&c
Observe, Oh Observe pray, the Bubblers Intention
See the Mountebanks Mob, how they catch at each Pension
The Baboon opes a Shop for our new found Land Fish
And a Scotch Cook has dressd us this peace of a Dish
&c
Martinique Guardeloupe the Havannah ALL gone
What weve GLORIOUS been doing, INGLORIOUS undone
From her Patriot Statesman, her CULLODEN CHEIF
Britannia disconsolate begs for Releif
&c
Behold on her shoulders a mantle of PLAID
As a Pall (for they'll bury OLD ENGLAND) 'tis laid
Mourn, Mourn oh ye Britons, for what she has lost
They will make her give up, till she gives up the GHOST
&c
On the Ensigns of LIBERTY somebody treads
And we fear that he Sombody wrongheaded leads
And Confident Brays, dinna heed aw this fuss
We are not fra Kings (Gned Troth) Kings are fra us
&c
I'll finish my Song - if you ask why I chuse
Such an Old fashiond Tune to a new Fashiond Muse
Among freinds (but be mum) and the Secret I'll own
The Chorus my countrymen fits us - we're down - derry down

From the Rial oak Decemr 1762
The Rial is a peice of Spanish money. Grafted at present.
Published according to Act of Parliament by Mary Darley in Little Riders Court Leicesterfeilds
