"Captain Morris (left) sits in profile to the right, singing from a broadside which he holds out in his left hand: 'A new Song to the Tune of the Plenipoy'. In his right hand is a full glass. He wears a round hat and fashionable half-boots; his coat, breeches, and stockings are tattered. From his pocket projects a pamphlet: 'Captain Morris's Songs by Subscription' (cf. BMSat 9240). Fox and Sheridan sit on opposite sides of a small round table, on which is a decanter of 'Brandy'. Sheridan, left, with Bardolph's fiery face, cf. BMSat 7528, &c, holds his glass and looks delightedly at Morris, as does Fox (as Falstaff), who says: "Come sing me a Boosey-Song, [A misquotation from 'I Henry IV', III. iii, where Falstaff says, "Come, sing me a bawdy song; make me merry."] to make me merry". Part of the face of a fourth man appears on the right."--British Museum online catalogue
