Summary

King George III, much caricatured, trots along, his head in profile to the right, shouting with wide-open mouth, "Milk, ho! Milk, ho! Milk, ho! Come, my Pretty Maids, tumble out, tumble out, tumble out, above and below, above and below." A yoke across his shoulders supports two milk-pails which he steadies with his hands.
