"Heading to a printed broadside. The King, on a dais, sits at a table between Eldon and Castlereagh, with Liverpool (?) under the table (from fear). All are terrified at the Bill, a creature, surrounded by clouds, with stick-like limbs, supported on broken crutches and a body formed of a rolled document: 'Bill of Pains and Penalties'. The apparition interrupts a Cabinet meeting, only three Ministers are depicted, others being mentioned; the King departs to Windsor to escape the Ghost, which has addressed them. The thirteenth and sixteenth of nineteen verses: Two crutches supported its figure so drear, Two props almost broken in pieces; And as the wan spectre advanced to them near, They saw one inscribed "Ministerial fear," On the other was, "Royal Caprices." "Ah! see to my heart how fraud-hating Gr--y His vigorous weapon home thrust: Through here the bold sword of a L--nsd--n made way: Noble H--ll--nd struck here with impetuous sway, Uprous'd in a struggle so just."--British Museum online catalogue
