"Pitt puts the Coalition to flight. He stands on the left, having just discharged an arrow from his bow, which pierces Fox (right) in the Achilles tendon. He says: "Thus do I strive with heart and hand To drive Sedition from the Land." Fox, prostrate and massive, supports himself on his hands to look at Pitt, saying: "There is nought but a place or a pension that will ease The Strain that I've got in my tendon Achilles." Burke, behind Fox, rushes away from Pitt, his arms outstretched in terror, saying: "Before thy Arrows Pitt, I fly O D--n that word prolexity." North, between Burke and Pitt, also in flight but holding a sword and shield, says: "This curs'd eternal Coalition Has brought us to a rare Condition." Pitt has a quiver with arrows slung across his shoulder; he, North, and Burke wear contemporary dress; Fox wears a tunic, greaves, and sandals."--British Museum online catalogue
