"George IV sits on the throne, surrounded by kneeling women; he takes the hand of Lady Conyngham, who proffers their address: "Loyal Address of the Married Ladies." She says: "We the humble and Loyal Married Ladies feel ourselves bound in due veneration to your most sacred person to present to you our sincere thanks for the many tokens of Love we the Loyal Married Ladies have laid under and we humbly acknowledge the favours our Husbands as [sic] experienced through the medium of us the Loyal Married Ladies!!!--" Behind her, a second lady, resembling Lady Hertford, looks startled. With them is a third, perhaps Mrs. Quentin. Behind the throne, which he clasps, stands Hertford (or Conyngham, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13847) holding a staff topped by antlers; he gapes at the speaker, saying, "I never heard a speech from a Lady so Cunning--." The King adds "Hum!" On his right stands Bloomfield, looking slyly sideways at his master. Both wear frilled muslin boudoir-caps. There is no dais, and on the right two grovelling women kiss, one the King's left foot, the other his thigh. A third kneels beside them. On the left is a black woman, who says: "God bless Massa he kiss his black servant in the kitchen at Brighton [see British Museum Satires No. 13208, &c.], my good Massa, make no distinction, Black or White, Massa Love'm all." On the extreme left is the profile of a noseless prostitute. On the King's throne is half a (bisected) crown, emblem of the repudiation of Queen Caroline, see British Museum Satires No. 13826."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the end of Lord Rockingham's administration shown as a dance at court. The verses below describe the protagonists who have been numbered in pen and ink: in the centre, Princess Augusta (1) dances with Lord Bute (2) their joined hands holding a leading string attached to Pitt (3) with a gouty leg who leans on his crutch, adorned with a coronet, as he converses with America, a half naked native American woman holding a bottle of rum. To the left of the Princess, stand Charles Townshend (4), holding a weathercock, beside his partner Britannia standing on her head, her shield and spear fallen on the ground. Further left, Lord Northington (5) robed as Lord President of the Council holds a glass of wine towards his elaborately dressed young woman (6; identified by Stephens as Betty Careless, although she had died in 1752). On the right, Henry Fox (7) dances with the devil; behind him are a Frenchman saying he will not pay the Canada Bills recompensing Britain after the Seven Years' War, and a Spaniard saying he will not pay the Manilla Ransom, a sum of two million dollars offered to Britain by the governor of Manilla when the city was captured. At far left, the king (8) plays the fiddle accompanied by two Scottish bagpipers. Wilkes (9) flies above, a copy of his Essay on Woman in his pocket, bound for Paris on a broomstick with a witch who says she will take him anywhere but to Scotland; he defecates on the head of Lord Bute. In the foreground stand four politicians: Temple (10) saying that he will get Francis Hayman to paint the scene for his garden at Stowe; Newcastle (11) wearing spectacles; Rockingham (12) wearning boots and carrying a riding whip; Winchilsea (13). Verses below in six columns, each with the chorus, "Doodle doodle doo""--British Museum online catalogue

"Queensberry (left) leans from the steps of his Piccadilly house, to leer through a double spy-glass (as in British Museum Satires No. 9082) at a buxom young woman who has just descended from a country wagon (right). She stands on the pavement next her father, a yokel in a smock-frock who is addressed by a fat bawd. The woman puts her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Its very lucky I met with you my honest Man if she behaves well she shall be promoted to the service of a Duke". He answers, "Very lucky indeed I'se Woundily Obliged to your Ladyship. My Dame always said as how Bet was cut out for Zarvice of your great Volkes." The wagoner is depositing in the road the corded box of Elisabeth Maybush; he looks up at Old Q, saying, "ah! I knew he'd dart out like an Old Spider at a Fly". A fashionably dressed young woman walks past the railings of 15 Piccadilly, the lower part of the house forming a background."--British Museum online catalogue
