North is to the right, swooning with grief and supported by Portland, while Sheridan kneels to the right in front of John Cavendish. Behind Fox at the far left the Prince of Wales kneels to kiss Perdita's unoccupied hand. A satire on the defeat of Fox's India Bill

"The Prince of Wales (left) sleeps on a grassy bank, his right elbow supported on a bank or rock. His hat with three ostrich plumes and the motto 'Ich Dien' leaves no doubt of his identity. A huge toad (right) climbs up his body to whisper in his ear: "Abjure thy Country and thy parents And I will give thee dominion over Many powers. Better to rule in hell than Serve on Earth". His fox's brush shows that the 'Preceptor' is Fox. Trees are indicated behind the Prince (left). Behind Fox are water-weeds (right). Beneath the design is etched:'Not Satan to the Ear of Eve Did e'er such pious Counsel give. Milton.'"--British museum online catalogue
