"Fox (left) standing on English soil, and Hervey, Bishop of Deny (right), standing on land representing Ireland, embrace across a narrow piece of water inscribed 'St George's Channel'. The bishop resembles, and is probably copied from, the figure in British Museum Satires No. 6654, &c. His right hand holds up a burning brand, his left is on Fox's shoulder. Fox's profile is hidden behind that of the bishop; in his outstretched left hand is a burning brand held horizontally above burning buildings which are sketched on the right of the design (in Ireland). Behind Fox is a building resembling St. Paul's, above which are heavy clouds. In the channel are ships."--British Museum online catalogue

Wellington in civilian dress stands between two fat bishops wearing mitres pulling each by an ear as they vomit huge streams of gold coins into a large wooden tub that is labeled: Receptacle for the poor curates, repairs of churches, and support of paupers. A spout from the tub funnels coins into a smaller tub from which a man shovels coins into money bags which are labelled: For curates, Repairs of Churches, Support of Paupers.
