Abstract:
Charles Fox, as Harlequin, and Lord North, as Pantaloon, perform on stage for the members of their party. Fox, standing on one leg, holds the Harlequin's 'magic' wand above the head of a bust of George III. Above the wand hangs the royal crown suspended from an air balloon. Behind his back, Fox passes to a smiling North a piece of paper inscribed, "Prerogative." The audience, that includes on the left, in the box, the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Robinson, and in the pit, among the others, Keppel and Burke, applauds the performance. The back wall of the stage is decorated with a portrait of Cromwell. On the wall facing the King's bust hangs a map of the United States

Behind Fox stands the angry female figure of Justice, her blindfold removed, a sword inscribed, "justice," in her right hand. In the left hand she holds a pair of scales of which the one filled with "loyalty" outweighs the one holding a fox. On the floor lies an open volume entitled, "Patriotism by C. Cromwell," propped on the hilt of a sword labeled, "Commonwealth."

Abstract:
A dog with the heads of Lord North, Charles Fox, and Edmund Burke stands guard in front of a gate inscribed, "Portland" and probably representing the Treasury. The dog's "Coalition" collar is secured with an "Interest" padlock and decorated with the Prince of Wales's feathers. The inscription on its tail refers to a bag of euphorbium thrown in Fox's face by an opponent. Above the gate, Cromwell's face makes the central keystone in the arch. It is flanked by two axes and two masks with devil's horns: the smiling one is Lord Derby; the scowling one Admiral Keppel
