"The Queen (right) and Mrs. Wood, a stout virago and a lean one, fight, clutching each other's hair. The Queen's large feathered hat is on the floor. A curtain is draped on a pillar (right), and from behind a curtain on the left, Alderman Wood, wearing his furred gown, watches the fray, drooping apprehensively; he says: "He Jests at Scars who never felt a wound!" Mrs. Wood: "I'll teach you to play at Bergami with my Husband indeed--no--no I've read Jane Shore, & knows how things goes on in Courts, & Palace's, in Como's [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13857], Virgin's Waters, Cottages, Pavilions, Yachts, & such like. An Honest Citizen has no business in such bad place's & I'll Tear your Eyes out before you shall make a Bergami of him." The Queen shrieks: "Avaunt ye Termagant I'll stop the Tongue of Slander & Level to the Dust, the proudest Foe that dares suspect my Chastity I'd tear you limb from [sic] tho you be made of Wood." Behind, on a small chimney-piece, is a bust, perhaps that of Lady Craven."--British Museum online catalogue

"A illustrated broadside engraved in two columns. A stalwart Highland soldier, with plumed bonnet, stands outside an open doorway (left) crowded with cringing Italians. He lunges furiously towards them with clenched fist, saying: "Filthy brutes! i 'ts for new boots, That a' you Rogues are swearing at her". The most prominent of the witnesses (cf. British Museum satires no. 13762) are Majocchi (see British Museum satires no. 13827) and Demont, see British Museum satires no. 13856. Over the doorway: 'Rogues Retreat'; at the corner of the building: 'Cotton Garden' [see British Museum satires no. 13824]. Behind (right) is the Thames. The Highlander's words are from the second verse of the song: 'Air Tibby Fowler o' the Glen'. The third of five verses: 'Fie upon the filthy louns! There's o'er mony swearing at her; Fifteen came frae German towns; There's eight and fifty swearing at her; Swearing at her, mumbling at her, Tumbling at her, canna hit her; Tawdry louns! its for new gowns, The hizzies a' are swearing at her.'."--British Museum online catalogue
