An older woman (Lady Warwick?) stands on the right by an open door, glancing over sideways at the scene and saying "I shall retire: is Warwick come to this? Oh this Cunning-- poor Hertford, ho[w] I pity her well may she exclaim false Lothario." Roses are seen through the doorway on the right; a round table with decanters of 'Brandy' is seen on the left, in front of a large window with curtains

"The interior of a church (? the Chapel Royal) showing pulpit, side-gallery, and pews beneath the gallery. Wilkes (left) is the preacher, beneath him is his clerk, Pitt. At a right angle to the gallery is the royal pew (right), from which the King looks with earnest attention to the preacher. Queen Charlotte, her fingers to her mouth, also listens attentively. A lady-in-waiting and a courtier with a long wand (Lord Salisbury, the Lord Chamberlain) stand behind. The pew is decorated with the royal arms and has a canopy. In the centre of the gallery sit the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert; he turns away from the preacher, looking at her. Behind him stands George Hanger; behind Mrs. Fitzherbert sits a man looking at Wilkes through a spy-glass. Between him and the royal pew are three men in legal wigs and gowns: Pepper Arden, Dundas, and (?) Kenyon. Between the Prince and the pulpit sit North (asleep) and Burke, looking intently at Wilkes; a lady (? Duchess of Devonshire) attempts to wake North. In the seats under the gallery sit parties of citizens, in general asleep or inattentive. Below the royal pew stands Fox on a low stool as a penitent draped in a sheet; he wears a placard inscribed 'For Playing Cards on the Lord's Day'. A stout lady with an aquiline nose stands near Pitt; with a raised whip she chases a number of dogs out of the church. She has some resemblance to the Duchess of Gordon, a friend of Pitt. Immediately behind Mrs. Fitzherbert and between two Gothic windows is a wall-tablet inscribed: 'This Tablet is erected to the memory of the renowned Plenipotentiary who died by the bow string a short time after his return to Algiers. Two maiden ladies of this Parish who tasted exquisite felicity from his Prowess, dedicate this frail memorial to his loved memory'. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 7935, &c.

"Castlereagh, wearing the caped coat (blue with red facings, for the Windsor uniform) of a bell-man over his own fashionable trousers, &c., stands in a London street in profile to the left, ringing his bell and shouting with his hand cupped to his mouth. The Queen looks from a first-floor window (in Wood's house in South Audley Street, see British Museum Satires No. 13734), holding a disk inscribed '2/6'. Castlereagh: "Stolen or Strayed, Lost or Miss led, a fine Old Buck of the Hanoverian Breed the Prime of the Herd in good condition, rather thick about the Ancle's, most graceful in his action, full about the Neck & Chops, his Rump erect, Haunches square, quick in his paces when persueing or persued, is extremely fond of his Antlers or Horns; which he seems particularly desirous of showing, was last seen in the Neighbourhood of Virginia Water, which it is supposed he mistook for the Lake of Como, being then seen toying with a remarkable fine Doe & her full grown Kid, having left his former Doe, who has been ever since worried by a set of Mongrel Animals, who ever will give information of his retreat or if any accident has befallen him, or if straying with any of the wild does of that neighbourhood [a phrase in brackets erased] so that he may be restored to the Herd a Crown will be the Reward!!"
