A soldier who has lost his right arm begs from an elderly man in old-fashioned dress whose hands are deep in his coat-pockets. The miser (right) walks away scowling sideways at the soldier. Beneath the title: He had a canvass bag which contain 'd what would answer the purpose, but his Callous soul caught the alarm at the Old Souldiers supplication; & it was hurried with rapidity of lightning into his pocket.' Behind is a high stone wall and a London street-lamp

Abstract:
Sir Thomas Rumbold is depicted vomiting his ill-gotten wealth into a chamber pot decorated with a thistle. Kneeling beside it and embracing the chamber pot is Henry Dundas, Lord Advocate of Scotland who oversaw the prosecution of Rumbold in 1782-3. Rumbold's ankles are chained to two weights signed "Sureties," a reference to restriction on his leaving the country before the case was dropped in 1783. He is supported by his son, Captain Rumbold of 1st Life Guards, dressed in his regimentals and wearing a gorget. Behind them, an Englishman gallops on an elephant saddled with an enormous bag signed "Roupees." An Indian sitting behind him is holding a tall parasol above his head

"The Duke of Clarence, in admiral's uniform, stands with his back to the sea, gazing upwards and to the left with a malignant stare; his right fist is clenched; in his left hand he clutches papers docketed 'Calu[mnie]s'. He declaims (adapting Satan's address to the sun, 'Paradise Lost', iv, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13896, &c.): "O thou that with surpassing Glory shine, "And in whose train the stars attendant wait, Of thee I speak, but with no friendly Voice, And add thy name O Cinthia to tell thee How I hate thy brightness!!!" He apostrophizes the moon, a disk in the sky enclosing a bust portrait of the Queen, on a dark ground patterned with large five-pointed stars which are partly covered by cloud (hiding 'their diminished heads'). In the sea behind is a man-of-war in full sail, the 'Queen Caroline' (left), firing a stern-shot at the Duke; she flies a large flag on which are the Royal Arms, with the motto: 'Honi. soit qui mal y pense', and two pennants: 'Vox Populi' and 'Victoria'. A ship's boat, the 'True Blue' (right), is rowed by sailors; the helmsman stands up to wave his hat and shout towards the Duke's back "The Queen for Ever!!!" One asks: "Jack is that a Sailor!"
