- Abstract:
- "George IV sits full-face in a chair of state, in coronation robes, between Castlereagh (left) and Liverpool (right) who reach up to bind a pair of tall antlers on his forehead, with a Garter ribbon, inscribed 'Honi Soit Q . . Mal . y. Pe[nse]'. He holds a sceptre terminating in a stag's head, round his neck is the collar of an order on the jewel of which is a stag's head. His right foot is on a paper: 'Order R--l Yacht to sail to Cuckold's point [a place on the Thames] G R'; his left foot is regally on a footstool. A green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) is tied to the back of each Minister, inscribed: 'Christian [scored through] Loaded with Sins Green Bag'. That of Castlereagh is attached with a strap inscribed 'House of Cxxmxxs', that of Liverpool with one inscribed 'House of Lxxds'. From the former's pocket hangs: 'A list of Italian false Swearers' [see British Museum Satires No. 13762, &c.]; from the latter's hangs a 'Bill of Degradation and Divorce, L--d L.' The King says: "Oh! beware, --of jealousy; It is a Green-bag'd monster,--do you really think they become me." Liverpool answers: "Whether they become you or not they will look uniform at Court [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12173]." Castlereagh: "We are well aware She did not place them on.--no matter, it must go down, besides there has just arrived several notorious villions from Italy who will swear She did, and we are determined you shall be crown 'd one way, or other." Watching the ceremony from the background is a row of courtiers (left), all antlered; one (Hertford) holds a Lord Chamberlain's wand. On the right is a row of plump ladies. Below the title: '"What various motivs sway still changing man! While Harry boasts no cuckold knave is he! "Another give [sic] worlds to find a plan," "By which a cuckold he may prove to be!'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The Queen, crowned, in royal robes and with a sceptre in her left hand, sits regally in the Coronation Chair. Justice, blindfolded and menacing, stands at her right hand; Truth, irradiated and holding up her mirror so that its rays illuminate the Queen, is on her left hand. A stone slab supporting the throne rests on eight hydra-heads with serpents' masks. The centre head is that of Eldon, with two other judges, one with a leech on the cheek indicating Leach (see British Museum Satires No. 13740). Castlereagh, very Mephistophelian, is on the extreme left, Sidmouth and Liverpool on the right; there are two unidentified heads, one presumably Harrowby. Round Queen, chair, &c. are clouds. In the upper left corner, two demons, spitting and excreting thunderbolts, carry off the King 'To Hanover'."--British Museum online catalogue
