London, December 1. The State of Europe; Or, Hints to an
Engraver.--By the Cobler of Cripplegate.
Give your imagination full [ ], and fancy a French cock
clapping his wings and going to crow: then introduce a
British lion stalking up majestically to him, and, with the
utmost contempt, p-ss--g on him.
Represent a northern hero playing the Black Joke on his
German flute, and two great unweildy [ ] Princesses
dancing an English jigg, or playing at leap frog.
. . . [26 more lines] You give the publick the King of
Sardinia in the character of a raree-shew man, playing the
tune of "Over the hills and far away," on his instrument;
and a group of Austrians, with the utmost difficulty,
climbing the Alps, and when they have reached the summit,
dancing to his music.
