"The Regent, as Macheath, wearing military uniform and heavily shackled, stands between Mrs. Fitzherbert, who kneels at his feet (left) removing his leg-irons, and Lady Hertford (right), who stands beside him taking the fetters from his wrists (inscribed 'Restri[ctions]'), He sings "How happy could I be with either." Mrs. Fitzherbert, a long rosary dangling from her waist, says: "The Benediction of His Holiness light on the Defender of Our Faith." Lady Hertford, sultana-like in a jewelled turban, says: "You heard of the Row & the Rowly Powly Song before Our house the Other Night?!!" Behind and on the right Eldon stands full-face between Perceval and McMahon, who face each other in profile. Perceval, in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown, and holding a brief-bag, says: "The Greys won't move without their own Coachman tho the Brewer [Whitbread] has offerd his black to do the dirty Work." Eldon, in a huge wig, holds the Purse of the Great Seal; he says: "We must hire Jobs for the Night Work but we are Pro' Rogued." McMahon, in military uniform, has a number of ribbons and stars hanging over his arm; he says: "These Garters & Ribbonds are all returned." On the wall are two pictures: George Hanger, bestriding his pony (as in No. 8889) with a burly bailiff seated behind him, rides in the direction of a sign-post, with a noose hanging from it, pointing 'To the Kings Bench'. This is 'George & his Hanger On, takeing a ride together to a Lodging in Surry'. The other is Sheridan as Bacchus, but dressed as Harlequin (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9916), bestriding a cask of 'Old Sherry'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A boyish midshipman (right), wearing uniform with cocked hat, fashionable neck-cloth, and tight white trousers, bargains at the waterside with two prostitutes. He puts his arm round a comely young woman, feeling in his pocket; she extends her hand for payment. Beside her (left) is a hideous negress smoking a pipe. Behind, at the foot of a ladder, crouches a shapeless elderly woman. The ladder leads to a coastal fortification, where look-out men are lounging and smoking near a gun-embrasure. A man ascends the ladder with a basket on his head. Behind (right) is the sea with a man-of-war; by the shore a ship's boat with three sailors waits for the midshipman."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

The latter says: "An please you Master and Mississ, The Sailor Man has sent word as how the Wessel is ready to swim."

The heads of two geese hang from his pocket. His wife says: "Dont be so Wulgar Mr Dripping--you are now among gentill folks, and must behave yourself--we shall want all the Wickalls on the Woyage depend upon it--bless me how Varm it is, I am all over in a muck"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
