"The white horse of Hanover, laden with two panniers (inscribed 'Sterling') overflowing with guineas, and a tea-tray with a tea-service, is being led off to the right by a scampering demon, wearing a high cocked hat and a coat, his hair in a queue. Under his arm is a sack inscribed 'light gold for charities'. A signpost (right) points 'To Hesse-Cassel'. A sack, labelled 'For Secret Services', with the legs and feet of an animal or demon walks behind the horse, which directs a blast of excrement towards the royal party. In the middle distance (left) the royal family stand disconsolately in a group: Queen Charlotte, much caricatured, holds up a slender purse to the King with a gesture of despairing astonishment. The King, who wears a hunting-cap, though melancholy, appears resigned. The younger children, ragged and in tears, surround their parents. Behind them is Windsor Castle. In the foreground (left) is the corner of a debtors' prison, a begging-box outside the barred window through which look the Prince of Wales, Burke, Fox, and North; George Hanger's profile is just visible within."--British Museum online catalogue

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.)
