"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

"Satire on the end of Lord Rockingham's administration shown as a dance at court. The verses below describe the protagonists who have been numbered in pen and ink: in the centre, Princess Augusta (1) dances with Lord Bute (2) their joined hands holding a leading string attached to Pitt (3) with a gouty leg who leans on his crutch, adorned with a coronet, as he converses with America, a half naked native American woman holding a bottle of rum. To the left of the Princess, stand Charles Townshend (4), holding a weathercock, beside his partner Britannia standing on her head, her shield and spear fallen on the ground. Further left, Lord Northington (5) robed as Lord President of the Council holds a glass of wine towards his elaborately dressed young woman (6; identified by Stephens as Betty Careless, although she had died in 1752). On the right, Henry Fox (7) dances with the devil; behind him are a Frenchman saying he will not pay the Canada Bills recompensing Britain after the Seven Years' War, and a Spaniard saying he will not pay the Manilla Ransom, a sum of two million dollars offered to Britain by the governor of Manilla when the city was captured. At far left, the king (8) plays the fiddle accompanied by two Scottish bagpipers. Wilkes (9) flies above, a copy of his Essay on Woman in his pocket, bound for Paris on a broomstick with a witch who says she will take him anywhere but to Scotland; he defecates on the head of Lord Bute. In the foreground stand four politicians: Temple (10) saying that he will get Francis Hayman to paint the scene for his garden at Stowe; Newcastle (11) wearing spectacles; Rockingham (12) wearning boots and carrying a riding whip; Winchilsea (13). Verses below in six columns, each with the chorus, "Doodle doodle doo""--British Museum online catalogue
