Abstract:
The scene shows the young newlyweds at breakfast in a large, well-furnished room but in a state of disorder as after a night's entertainment. The night's activities are suggested by the book "Hoyle on whist" open on the rug in the middle of the floor, a deck of cards on the floor below a card table in the next room, and in the foreground a violin in its open case sits on the back of an overturned chair, a second violin case beside it. The steward walks away in disgust at his apparent failure to engage either the husband or the wife in addressing the wad of bills that he has in his hands. Through an archway, a dishevelled and sleepy servant scratches his cap; the walls are decorated with paintings of religious figures

Abstract:
"A design in four compartments. [1] THE SULTAN RETIRING The Prince of Wales in flowered dressing-gown and night-cap stands arrogantly with folded arms, saying "Va-ten" [sic], as in BMSat 8807, to the dwarfish Lord Jersey (right), who stands deferentially before him, holding a candle, and raising his hand to his forehead with a senile grin. The Prince stands at the foot of Lady Jersey's bed (left), where she lies expectantly. It is decorated with two earl's coronets, but under it is a chamber-pot ornamented with the Prince's feathers. On the wall (right) is a picture of a turbaned and arrogant Turk, standing among the ladies of his harem, who are seated around him. Probably imitated from BMSat 8807. Reproduced, Fuchs und Kind, 'Die Weiberherrschaft', i. 153.[2] FASHIONABLE PASTIME Lady Jersey sits on a settee, holding her arms above her head, two fingers in each hand extended to simulate horns. Before her is Lord Jersey, bending under the weight of the Prince, who sits on his shoulders; he supports himself by resting his hands on his wife's lap. The Prince, very fat and complacent in his Light Horse uniform (see BMSat 8800), wearing a helmet, with slippers and ungartered stockings, holds Jersey by the head, his fingers extended like Lady Jersey's (as in BMSats 8811, 8816), and putting a hand over Jersey's eyes and mouth. Lady Jersey wears a loose high-waisted dress, with uncovered breast, and flowing hair. Both say: "Buck-Buck how many Horns do I hold up". Jersey answers "one you say & two there is Buck Buck". A cat (left) slinks off to the left. On the wall behind the Prince (right) is a picture of 'Sir Rd Worsley', a free copy of BMSat 6109, the right portion being cut off by the margin of the design. Reproduced, Fuchs und Kind, 'Die Weiberherrschaft', i. 153.[3] THE DISCOVERY The Princess (right) draws aside the fringed curtains of a bed in which lie the Prince (awake and dismayed) and Lady Jersey (asleep). She looks aside, weeping. Above her head are the words 'Give me [sic] all you can & let me Dream the Res [sic]'.[From Pope's 'Heloise to Abelard', often reprinted in the eighteenth century (cf. BMSat 9283).] Behind her head is a half length portrait of the Duke of Brunswick, his head turned towards his daughter but hidden by the Prince's helmet, which hangs from the frame. [4] CONFIDENCE BETRAYED The Prince is seated full-face, with a distraught expression, his left hand on his forehead, his right hovers above a pistol which lies on a table beside him. Lady Jersey stands on his left, holding an open letter addressed 'The D------ of B------c'. She puts her forefinger to her nose, saying, "Here would have been a rare Kettle of Fish to have served up to a German Prince". Through an open window (or perhaps in a picture) behind the Prince a landscape is indicated with forked lightning."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The interior of a well-furnished room with an open door (right) through which a dove-cote and trees are visible. By the fire (left) in an arm-chair is a gouty magistrate, tipsily somnolent, with twisted features. In his left hand is a glass spilling its contents, in his right a smoking tobacco-pipe; his right foot is supported on a cushioned stool. Beside him (right) is a table with books and writing-materials behind which sits his clerk, pen in mouth, spectacles on forehead, scrutinizing a group of three: a constable with a long staff between a fashionably dressed and drunken reveller and a young woman, whose dress hangs from just below her bare breasts. The constable, looking at the clerk, points to the woman. In the doorway a dog looks out and a sow looks in. On the wall over the clerk's head is a picture of an ass kicking over a statue of Justice (a 'Justass', cf. British Museum satire no. 8187); in the background St. Paul's and the Monument with other buildings indicate London. On the table by the justice a punch-bowl stands on 'Burn's Justice'. The chimney-piece is supported by two carved satyrs. Above it is a framed (?) almanack. A cat sleeps by the fire. A patterned carpet completes the design."--British Museum online catalogue
