- Abstract
-
A satire on a 6 May 1791 scene between Fox and Burke in the House of Commons which resulted in their permanent estangement. Fox stands weeping as a boy kneels at his feet filling a bucket, the tears are so copious. Burke, turns back to look at him, clenching in his one hand "French Constitution and in the other "treason conspiracy, poor old England" as he trodes on a piece of paper "Canada Bill." Other Members of the House cluster on either side of the Speaker's chair shouting support for one or the other
