- Abstract:
- "Two dogs, with the heads of Hood and Wray, followed by huntsmen chase a fox (left to right) down a slope inscribed 'Constitution Hill'. In front of the fox (Fox) is a sign-post, one arm pointing (right) 'To Cov. Garden'; two others pointing left are 'To St. James's' and 'To the Gallows': The fox's tail, inscribed 'Patriotism', brushes the eye of Wray, who says, "This is a swinging Brush it smarts D-----y he has Blinded me quite". The fox, turning his head back, snarls: "Ha Ha my old Friend you have Run hard for a little Poxes P-ss. Hood, half a length behind the fox, and in the foreground, says: "Never fear Brother, a little Court Water will soon heal the Smart." Behind Wray floats or flies a witch-like old woman carrying the staff and cap of Liberty; she says, "Hack Forward, good Dogs, Tally O Ho W-y he has worried all my Geese & put my Hen Roost in an Uproar". Her skirt is inscribed, 'Secret Influence'; 'Prerogatives'; 'Addresses', 'Petitions &c.' (For the addresses thanking the king for dismissing the Coalition see BMSat 6445, &c.) Behind her, on the extreme left of the design, appear the head and shoulders of the king wearing his crown; he says, "Tally O Tally O my Brave Chelsea Tally O", alluding to Wray's proposal to abolish Chelsea Hospital, see BMSat 6475, &c. Behind are two shadowy huntsmen; one, mounted, says "Wee'l whip him Down by G - d"; the other blows a horn."--British Museum online catalogue
