- Abstract:
- "Fox (right) kneels in profile to the left, firing point-blank from a blunderbuss at a post which roughly suggests George III in back view: it is surmounted by a short wig and a hunting-cap decorated with the royal arms; round a protuberance simulating posteriors a circle is drawn with a bull's-eye at which Fox is firing. He is much caricatured, with large head and short fat legs; he wears a slouch hat with the inscription 'Ca-Ira', and has a pleased and sinister smile. Behind him Priestley (left) and Sheridan (right) face each other in profile with conspiratorial smiles. Sheridan is ramming the barrel of a pistol, saying, "Well! this new Game is delightful! - O Heavens! if I could but once Pop the Post!!! then you and me, - Dear Brother P, - Would sing with glee, - Full merrily Ca-ira! Ca-ira! Ca-ira!" Priestley holds out to him two books: "on the Glory of Revolution and on the Folly of Religion & Order", saying, "Here's plenty of Wadding for to ram down the Charge with, to give it force, & to make a loud Report.""--British Museum online catalogue

Neddy - dont put me in a passion Neddy - but leave go Neddy - " Thurlow, holding one tassel, says: "Take it ingrate! - and then farewell, - O damnation I've touched the highest point of all my greatness - damnation And from that full meridian of my glory - damnation I haste now to my setting - I shall fall - damnation Like a bright exhalation in the evening - damnation And no man see me more - Damnation! O damnation" Pitt, kneeling on one knee, tugs with both hands at the back of the woolsack, saying, "Yeo! Yeo! - this one pull more Billy-Ranger, and we shall secure every thing into our own Family, and then leave me alone to take a pull at Old Nobbs [the King], & John Bull." Grenville, also on one knee, pulls with both hands at the Chancellor's wig; he says, "Bravo! Cousin Billy! - pull away! - now again! - I have a mighty fancy for this Wig!
