"The Duchess of Devonshire (right), wearing very wide hooped petticoats, shelters a fox beneath them. Its head projects from a slit which she holds open with her hands, its tail shows between her feet. She says:"Here my dear Reynard when all trouble's past, You'll find a Borrough open at the last."Her hat is trimmed with the usual ostrich plumes and fox's brush, cf. BMSat 6530, &c. North stands facing her, saying "He's IN for a Borrough". Beneath the design is inscribed:"In vain may Wits reprove, and Criticks blame, Nor shall concealment in this cause defame, Reynard in gratitude of such protection, Now pays the devoirs of his Election.""--British Museum online catalogue
