Freedom, Peace, Plenty, all in vain advance,/ Spurn'd by Brittannia's Children, dupes to France:/ Aspiring Chiefs in congress, scourge the land,/ All Laws subverting to usurp command". Printed inscription in the lower center: "Tyrants they prove, while Patriots they appear,/ And Popish Leagues mark their absurd career./ May Heav'n in timely mercy make them wise,/ Ere French and Spanish Chains their crimes chastize.
