- Abstract:
- "The Queen stands beside the King, taking his arm; he drives away and kicks Lady Conyngham, who is surrounded by four other fugitives. He says: "Out ye Harlots--for such as you Kings have come to beggary--for such as you Kings have been Idolist [sic]--for such as you Kings have been Adulterers;--yea even lost their crowns!--God save the Queen--." Lady Conyngham answers, weeping, "Ah G--ge there was a time you did not use me thus--when you call'd me your Cunning -one." One of the women has fallen prone; she exclaims: "O how hath the mighty fallen." On the extreme right and next the Queen stands a bishop with a drink-blotched profile. He reads from a book: "Thou shalt not commit Adultery.--Put no faith in a woman that is wife to another; for she who is not constant to her husband will never be so to you,--for she who hath her husband to deceive every day, can deceive a gallant at leisure!"."--British Museum online catalogue
