Britannia's Exhortation: or More Work for John Bull Britannia stands, spear in hand, shield by her feet, pointing to 'The Cave of Corruption', in which are rocks labelled 'Places', 'Pensions', 'Secret Influence', and 'Contractor-ship'. She exhorts John Bull: "Your labours John, are but half-begun, you must now clean out that cave!" John Bull, sat on the right with a mop and bucket and replies: "That will be a hard job I fear however if that must be the case mistress, I must buy a New Mop, for the old one be nearly worn out with the last bout." [1800-1809]
