Abstract:: "Mrs. Clarke (right) sits triumphantly astride the upper end of a see-saw which is supported on an upholstered stool. The Duke of York (left), dropping his sword, falls headlong from the other end which rests on the ground. She waves her arms, pointing a derisive finger at the Duke, and sings: "Here I go up up up and there you go Down Down Downy, The game it is pretty well up, and so you must fall to the Grouny!" The Duke sings: "What a way for to serve your own Sweety, how could you vex your own Deary, If you had not thrown me quite down, you'd have had your 4 hundred a Yeary." On the ground are the Duke's cocked hat (left) and (right) a mitre, with a book, 'Ovid art of Love', and crosier (see British Museum satires no. 11227), with writing materials and papers: a bundle of 'Love Letters' (see British Museum satires no. 11228, &c.) tied like legal documents, against which is a door-plate inscribed 'for further particulars inquire within', a bundle docketed 'Account of Debts Gloucester' [Place, see British Museum satires no. 11222, &c], a paper headed 'To Col Wardle'. There is a landscape background irradiated by a setting sun."--British Museum online catalogue
