Attended by a swarm of court sycophants, hungry
harpies, and unprincipled danglers, collected
from the neighbouring villages, hovering over the
stage in the shape of locusts, led by Massachusettensis
in the form of a basilisk; the rear brought
up by proteus, bearing a torch in one hand, and
a powder-flask in the other: The whole supported
by a mighty army and navy, from blunderland,
for the laudible purpose of enslaving its best
friends.
