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 [page torn away here: text taken from 20 May ad] and
navy, from Blunderland, for the laudable purpose of
enslaving its best friends.
Scene at Boston.
