- Abstract:
- A large dredger-like wheel with four scoops stands in front of a building, possibly the Treasury, guarded by two mounted sentries. The Devil standing on the King's bent back, turns the crank. On the right, Lord Shelburne sits on the ground after being tossed out of the wheel together with his companions, most likely Dunning and Barré, saying, "Look what a crush a Pretty decent Tumble." On the left, two new Secretaries of State, Fox, with a fox's head, and North, lead on reins attached to his nose the Duke of Portland, the new prime minister. Fox, with broken leg, his hand on North's arm for support, complains that the "... late tumble hath Crippled me quite ..." North pledges help on condition that "you shall hold me fast in my Place." Behind them, Burke, with one arm in a sling, runs after them voicing his own need to join the coalition. His and Fox's "injuries" were suffered in the previous 'tumble' when Shelburne formed his administration
