The Duke, wearing regimentals, watches the quarrel, equally distant from both. Mrs. Clarke, arms akimbo, says: "Why how now Madam Carey, although you are so Warey In saveing of your cash, John Bull and I we both will try, And settle all your hash." [see 1803 Isaac Cruikshank print for an earlier use of this phrase, BM impression 1868,0808.7141/ PPA108823] Mrs. Carey retorts: "Why how now Madam Clarke------ Why since you thus can chatter------ And thus betray your spark------ I wonder whats the matter with, you, Madam Clarke!!" The Duke looks at Mrs. Clarke, stopping his ears, a leg raised in angry protest; he says: "Zounds! the thunder of Valencienes was Music to this". Behind Mrs. Clarke is a cockatoo on a high perch, screaming: "go it! go it"; a chair has been overturned, and a mastiff, its collar inscribed 'John Bull', barks at the Duke. A small dog behind Mrs. Carey also barks. She stands with her back to the fire. On the chimney-piece a china Cupid aims his arrow at a heart on the trunk of a tree."--British Museum online catalogue
