A social satire: a beggar wearing ragged clothes and leaning on a crutch hold his hat out towards a old, well-dressed woman as he says, "My angelic young lady! Heaven preserve your ladyship's beautiful shape and countenance these thousand years! Give a halfpenny to a poor old man."

"Fox (left) and Burke (right) sit side by side in the stocks as Hudibras and his 'squire Ralpho. One foot of each is imprisoned; their hands are clasped. Burke looks at Fox, who sits with closed eyes and a dejected expression. Pitt stands (right) holding a halberd and a bunch of three keys labelled 'Treasury'. All are in pseudo-seventeenth-century costume. On the wall behind Fox hangs a scourge with two lashes, one inscribed 'Prerogative', the other 'Vox Populi', indicating the two causes of the fall of the Coalition. Behind Burke's head is a placard: 'This day is pubd------An Essay on ye Tumblime and Beautifull by Ralph B.' (an allusion to Burke's essay on 'The Sublime and the Beautiful'). In front of the stocks lie two papers inscribed 'India Bill' and 'Warrant of... Temple', since Temple had conveyed to the Lords the king's desire for the defeat of the India Bill. A whipping-post attached to the stocks is inscribed 'Otium cum Dignitate'. Beneath the design is etched: 'Sure none that see how here we sit, Will judge us overgrown with wit; For who without a cap & bauble Having subdu'd, a bear & rabble, And might with honor have come off, Would put it to a second proof: A Politic exploit right fit, For Coalition zeal & wit! Hudibrass.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Two companion designs on one plate. On the left, directed to the right, stands a lady wearing the projecting gauze at her breast and the inflated petticoats then fashionable. Her wide-brimmed hat is trimmed with feathers and a curtain-frill of lace. Ringlets rest on her shoulders from her puffed-out hair. She holds a large muff. On the right, directed to the left, stands a country girl whose round hat, ringlets, kerchief, and looped-up petticoats resemble those of the fashionable lady, but without the exaggeration of the latter."--British Museum online catalogue

Behind her walk three young women, her 'maids of honour', who are tall and slim in contrast with their mistress. One carries a large square bottle inscribed "cordial". All four ladies are dressed alike in the fashion of the day with low bodices and high coiffures decorated with feathers and flowers. Next comes a fat clergyman, his mouth open as of shouting. He is followed by the physician wearing a big-wig and sword. Last walks the apothecary, lean and bent, also wearing a sword, and carrying an enormous and ornately decorated syringe which rests on his right shoulder."--British Museum online catalogue
