- Abstract:
- Inside a church, Burke and Sheridan, in mourning clothes, cry next to the tomb on which rest the bodies of Lord North and Charles Fox, with a fox's head. Fox's eye is open and alert, his tongue hanging from the mouth. Above their heads, a crossbeam resting on two columns and inscribed, "The true reward [of] such virtues," forms a gallows with two nooses hanging from it. In the background are the tombs of Jonathan Wilde, a corrupted thieftaker, and Jemmy Twitcher, a character in The beggar's opera, and nicknames of, respectively, Sir Robert Walpole and the Earl of Sandwich; and of Walter Tyler, leader of the peasant uprising in 1381

- Abstract:
- A large dredger-like wheel with four scoops stands in front of a building, possibly the Treasury, guarded by two mounted sentries. The Devil standing on the King's bent back, turns the crank. On the right, Lord Shelburne sits on the ground after being tossed out of the wheel together with his companions, most likely Dunning and Barré, saying, "Look what a crush a Pretty decent Tumble." On the left, two new Secretaries of State, Fox, with a fox's head, and North, lead on reins attached to his nose the Duke of Portland, the new prime minister. Fox, with broken leg, his hand on North's arm for support, complains that the "... late tumble hath Crippled me quite ..." North pledges help on condition that "you shall hold me fast in my Place." Behind them, Burke, with one arm in a sling, runs after them voicing his own need to join the coalition. His and Fox's "injuries" were suffered in the previous 'tumble' when Shelburne formed his administration
