"Justice stands on a small rocky plateau surrounded by waves. She holds up a pair of scales; on one scale (left) stands the Queen, noble and dignified, in royal robes, the crown at her feet. She far outweighs the other scale, on which is a huge green bag: 'Ev[ide]nce a[gainst] [t]he [Que]en'; Castlereagh, Sidmouth, and Canning stand round it, with a serpent as pendant to the crown. The Queen holds out a scroll headed 'Righ[t] ... of ... Queen' and an open book: 'Liturgy'. Castlereagh holds out to her a scroll headed '50,000 pr An'; he says: "Another Bag (now almost ready) Will make the Balance firm & steady, And certain other pond'rous stuff Will make the Lady light enough." Sidmouth flourishes a clyster-pipe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9849). Canning stands behind the Bag on the extreme right; he says: "I wish to God that I was out Of this infernal mounting Scale, For plainly I percieve a rout, And that the Lady must prevail." The Queen: "Vipers Go! I can't endure you, You wrong me I assure you, Yet still I spurn the wrong, and view, With calmness all your Bag can do." Below the title : '"Do thou inspire the stroke "With prevalence divine - as thine the wrong, "Vengeance and punishment to thee belong; "The injur'd state of Innocece [sic] restore, "Crush the bold insults of aspiring pow'r, "Shine like thy radiant source, and mak the world adore.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"The roofed gateway of a great man's house. In front of an archway (left) through which appears a staircase, an obese porter stands in profile to the right, lifting up both hands to show the impossibility of access to his master. He is addressing a would-be visitor, middle-aged and stout, who faces him with an insinuating smile, hat in hat, pointing with his right hand towards his companion, a slim young man (right), who stands full-face, his right hand in his breeches pocket. The young man is dressed like, and resembles, the 'Modern Fine Gentleman' in British Museum Satires No. 6342, a companion print. His right hand is in his breeches pocket, his left, holding his hat, rests on the head of his tall cane."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state
