Abstract:: Two ladders placed against a tall brick wall signed, "Treasury," reach an open window at the top. In it stands a man, perhaps the Duke of Portland, with a yoke on his shoulders and bunches of grapes hanging from each end. At the top of the ladders are, from left, Fox and North, both reaching for the grapes while at the same time emptying their bowels. Their excrement falls into the mouths of those climbing immediately after them; on Fox's ladder it is Sheridan. This process is repeated down to the last climbers. Each ladder is supported by a group of men gaping toward its top with their mouths open in expectation of the spoils

Abstract:: The Duke of Portland, the new prime minister, leans over the gate to "Portland Place" handing down to Fox and North their reward in the form of an enormous bunch of grapes. Fox grasps the whole bunch taking a bite out of it while North, standing on his tiptoes with his arms wide open, cannot reach it. (In the verses below the title, as in other satires on the Coalition, North is the badger.)
