He is in Elizabethan dress, but wears an enormous cocked hat and a large sabre. He says: "Sir John, thy under lambkin now is King Harry the fifth's the man. I speak the truth. When Pistol lies, do thus; and fig me, like the bragging Spaniard." On the left, clasping his hands ecstatically, stands Sheridan as Bardolph, his face bloated with drink. He says, "O joyful day! - I would not take a Knighthood for my fortune." Between and behind Sheridan and Fox stands 'Shallow' (Duke of Norfolk), rather disconsolate, saying, "Sir John, I hope you'll pay me back my Thousand Pounds." In the background is the colonnade of Carlton House, and (left) the back of Fox's travelling-carriage, inscribed, 'From Bologna'. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
