- "Fox as Falstaff, enormously fat, with a pleased smile, stands declaiming: "The Laws of England are at my commandment. Happy are they which have been my friends; & woe to my Lord Chanr." On the right stands Hanger as Pistol, in a swaggering attitude, legs astride, left hand on his bludgeon (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6924), right on his hip. He is in Elizabethan dress, but wears an enormous cocked hat and a large sabre. He says: "Sir John, thy under lambkin now is King Harry the fifth's the man. I speak the truth. When Pistol lies, do thus; and fig me, like the bragging Spaniard." On the left, clasping his hands ecstatically, stands Sheridan as Bardolph, his face bloated with drink.

Between and behind Sheridan and Fox stands 'Shallow' (Duke of Norfolk), rather disconsolate, saying, "Sir John, I hope you'll pay me back my Thousand Pounds."
