The King wears coronation robes, his crown rises from his head. The Queen says with a commanding gesture: "That Cap becomes you not alone [sic] Off with the Bauble tread it under foot! ['Taming of the Shrew', V. ii] tis not the time for Pageantry & Waste, while thousands starve for Want? & while your Royal Mistress suffer [sic] Scorn, Reproach & Persecution, from the Dastard Hands of Secret Enemies."
