Charles Fox, as Harlequin, and Lord North, as Pantaloon, perform on stage for the members of their party. Fox, standing on one leg, holds the Harlequin's 'magic' wand above the head of a bust of George III. Above the wand hangs the royal crown suspended from an air balloon. Behind his back, Fox passes to a smiling North a piece of paper inscribed, "Prerogative." The audience, that includes on the left, in the box, the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Robinson, and in the pit, among the others, Keppel and Burke, applauds the performance. The back wall of the stage is decorated with a portrait of Cromwell. On the wall facing the King's bust hangs a map of the United States

An enormous weathercock, with a huge dice for the base, stands mounted on top of a roof of a large building. Above its four arms with compass points is a dice box and another dice on top of it. From this dice protrude the heads of Charles Fox on the left and Lord North on the right. To the spike above them attached is a card with the knave of hearts. Fox's head, with a long barbed arrow coming out of his mouth, looks towards 'E' commenting on the failure of the East India bill. North's face is oriented toward 'N.' A huge fox's brush comes out of his mouth instead of the boreal blow

In an outdoor setting, George III examines through his quizzing glass a giant boulder with three bust portraits on it, each described below. On the left, in profile, is the Duke of Portland, with vague expression, "Supposed to be the head of a Patrician ... that never contained much brain ..." In the middle, full face, with angrily drawn brows, is Fox, "... turbulent and factious Tribune of great abilities which he exerted occasionally for and against Government ..." To the right, in profile, is a complacent looking Lord North, "... a Tribune of Patrician ancestors ..." who "... had the Art to impose himself upon the People for an honest disinterested man ..."
