SCAGG.770.050
20-27 Aug 1770:32 (13/619)
A political picture of Europe for 1770. . . [37 lines of
humorous descriptions of several heads of state with one
musical allusion] The King of Portugal, a feeble old man
upon crutches, has but one eye, which is fixed upon Madrid.
The Emperor dancing a Parisian jigg with the French
ambassador and seven electors. The King of Prussia, a fox
in a bramble bush, peeping first out at one corner and then
at another, but seeing an old woman watching him whips in
his head and sits still.
