"Sheridan and Fox are prisoners behind a bar on which they lean. Burke towers above them, with a stern frown, seizing each by the hair. He says: ""Behold the abettors of Revolutions, see "the authors of Plots & conspiracies, & take cognizance of the enemies of both "Church & State; - "I know them all, & have a while upheld, the unyok'd "humour of their Wickedness," - I have bore [sic] with them 'till the measure "of their iniquity is full; but now, I will bare them before ye Justice of injured "humanity, - I will prove unequivocally, that there exists at the present "moment, a junto of Miscreant Jacobites [sic], who are aiming at the Over-"throw of the British Constitution" - Vide Burkes Speech on the Quebec Bill - ". Sheridan (left) in profile to the left, his hands clasped, says with a terrified expression, "Ha! what's that? miscreant Jacobites! - plots Conspiracies! Revolution! - O! Damnation! we're all found out! - ah Joseph! Joseph! I fear you've brought up your Neck for a fine Collar!" Fox (right), his head bowed under Burke's hand, his handkerchief to his eyes, says, "O the devil! I'm quite overcome, & stupified with Grief! to think that the Man who has been my dearest Friend, and my Chum in all infamy, for Twenty five years, should now turn Snitch at last! good-lack-a-day!"."--British Museum online catalogue
