Opis
English: "The Stature of a Great Man or the English Colossus". Satire of Sir Robert Wapole alluding to his "extreme reluctance to engage in war...to resist the aggressions of Spain and France". Caption reads:

Why Man, he doth bestride of narrow World
Like a Colossus, and we petty Men –
Walk under his huge Legs, & peep about
To find ourselves, dishonourable Graves
Men at some times are Masters of their fates:
The fault, dear P––y is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are Underlings
—Shakespear [sic]

Description: The Colossus at Rhodes, a statue of the Sun 70 Cubits high, placed at the Mouth of the Harbour; one Man could not grasp its Thumb with both his Arms. Its thighs stretch'd out to such a Distance, that a large Ship Sailing might easily pass – into the Port betwixt them. It was Twelve Years a makeing, & cost 300 Talents (a Rhodian Talent is worth 322 Pounds, 18 shillings & 4 Pence in English Money) It stood 50 Years, & at last was thrown down in an Earth-quake. And from this Colossus the People of Rhodes were named Colossenses, & every Statue since of an unused Magnitude is call'd Colossus.
