"A fashionably dressed man rides a stag with the head and bust of a pretty young woman with dark ringlets and roses in her hair. A lean German runs after him, holding out a pair of large antlers, saying, O, ho! my-lor, here de Horn my-lor--she friget [sic] de horn, take dem, A, ha! par-blue, by Gar I vil have de damage. The rider, turning his head in profile, and warding off the gift, answers: No. No. Baron, you may keep them yourself, and welcome, the horns become you; my dear can do without them. The German wears flat fur cap with peak, tight fur-bordered coat. The other wears bell-shaped top-hat, blue frogged coat, and white trousers. His rein is a scarf inscribed £2,500 round his mount's chest. The animal, its hind-legs splashing the German with mud, reaches a high wall fringed with spikes, inscribed Bancus Regis, resembling that of the King's Bench prison, but here indicating the Court of King's Bench. On it, below a large inscription: Hunts Matchless Blacking [see British Museum Satires No. 15150] are many bills: [1] Coy of Sussex stolen or strayed a handsome Doe of the Roebuck breed, with black hair and scut, is supposed to be stolen by some poacher.
