A scene on Tuesday the 26th of May between a prince and a poltron [graphic].

"A satirical representation of the duel between the Duke of York and Lennox. The Duke (left), calm and dignified, fires his pistol in the air; Lennox (right), his knees bending in obvious alarm, holds a pistol in each hand, saying, "I hope your H--gh--ss is satisfied now that I am a Man of Honor, by my firing thro' your hair? & that you will retract the opinion of my being a Coward". The Duke, whose hat is on the ground, answers, "Satisfied? yes I am satisfied! that your whole race are a set of dastards! - & you may fire at me till the day of Judgment, e'er I will retract my opinion - or honor a Coward, by putting him out of the World!" The seconds stand behind their principals: 'Lord Raw--n', in profile to the right, a pistol in each hand, says, "Gunpowder is disgrae'd when used upon such reptiles! make them eat their own words, till they are choak'd, thats the way to quiet Charles's-bastard-brood" (cf. BMSat 7507); 'Lord Wine--l--a' (right), looking very frightened, holds an arsenal of pistols under his left arm, a blunderbuss in his right hand, saying, "Would that I had not meddl'd in the business, or, that I could get over to the other side." All wear military uniform; Winchilsea was a Lord of the Bedchamber, Lennox Lt.-Col. in the Coldstream, the Duke's regiment. In the background stands an empty post-chaise."--British Museum online catalogue
