- "A ship, apparently bearing 'Aeneas' (George II) is tossed on a stormy sea. On the shore at right, 'Dido' (the figure of Britannia), points and smiles, above the inscription, "She, while [the] outragious winds [the] deep deform, Smiles on [the] tumult, & enjoys [the] storm". In the sea Neptune near the shore looks at the ship in displeasure. Above in the sky are three Winds, as three young boys, one blowing, one farting, the last kicking a hat."--British Museum online catalogue.
