"In the foreground John Bull, a drink-blotched 'cit', and George IV tug at a large pair of antlers. The King (right): "I tell you Bull I will wear them--I know they will become me--what am I allways to be disappointed." John wears a large white favour in his hat inscribed 'The Queen'; he says: "I'll be D--n'd if you do wear them yet, however much you may deserve them so it is useless contending G--e." At his feet is a large bludgeon: 'John Bull's Oke'. Behind them, a woman, apparently Mrs. Bull, strikes Majocchi, so that his nose gushes blood, saying: "You're one of the Villians from Cotton Garden" [see British Museum Satires No. 13824, &c.]. He falls backwards, saying: "Non mi Ricordo" [see British Museum Satires No. 13827]. In the middle distance behind John (left), stands a woman arm-in-arm with a sailor, who is next a soldier; she waves her handkerchief, saying; "The Queen for ever"; the other two wave their hats, shouting: "Go it John we'll stand by You." Behind the King (right) stand four witnesses: three villainous-looking fops and a woman; they are 'Inhabitants of Cotton Garden'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The King and Queen are tied together back to back, by a ribbon inscribed 'The Matrimonial Knot. Keep thee only.. unto her, so long as ye both shall live.' The Queen (left), richly dressed and with three feathers in her hair, stands looking towards Justice, who takes her right hand. She says, her hand on her breast, "Nothing but death shall e'er divorce my dignities" ['Henry VIII', III. i]. Justice stands among clouds; she says: "Your exemplary conduct is worthy imitation, as during your husband's ill treatment every effort you exerted to reclaim him, which failing, the world must approve your seeking refuge in the wholesome and protecting laws of your country.--I will be your guide." Brougham stands on the extreme left, poorly characterized but holding a rolled document inscribed 'To Mr Brougham'; he says: "Let slanderous tounges [sic] say what they will they are "Trifles light as air" ['Othello', III. iii] for "She is every inch a Queen." [Adapted from 'Lear', IV. vi]." The King leans against the bond that joins them, straining hard to break it; he puts his hands on the shoulders of Castlereagh who holds him round the waist, the first of a chain of three who pull hard to help him to break loose. The King: "Heigho! how to get un-married; thats the question! There is but little trouble in tying the knot, but your quizzes of the cloth draw it so d----nd tight, Pull away Derry, Pull away Deary Pull away Doctor." Sidmouth tugs at Lady Hertford (or Conyngham) whose arms are round Castlereagh. Castlereagh answers: "If we could entice that blind Lady from her, we might do some good." Sidmouth: "A long pull and a Strong pull and a pull alltogether.""--British Museum online catalogue
