- Abstract:
- At the top of a ladder placed against the House of Commons and inscribed, "back stairs," stands a female figure of Folly in a fool's cap, with a flag signed "aristocracy." Below her, a man attempts to pull down a stone from the frieze with a grappling hook. Behind him, a smiling Pitt with one foot on a rung, "new mi[nister]," encourages his supporters to follow. Next climbs Lord Temple carrying a conspirator's lantern and a flag, "omnipot[ent] anarc[hy]." Under the ladder, others demolish the wall. On the left, Lord North and Charles Fox try to support the loosened "SPQB" frieze with a beam inscribed, "constitutional advice." An indignant-looking female figure of Wisdom advises Pitt and his followers to reconsider their action."

- Abstract:
- A belligerent William Pitt and a dejected Charles Fox, each with a cock's body, stand in a cockpit surrounded by their supporters. In the foreground on the left, the King leans against the pit watching his favorite, Pitt. Next to him stands Wilkes, with his hand on the King's back, and Pitt's supporters Lords Nugent, Thurlow, and the Duke of Richmond. Behind them is an enthusiastic crowd of other supporters. Fox is backed by the devil who proposes another round. Among his supporters are Burke in a Jesuit's biretta and a group of Jews, his creditors. In the foreground, Lord North is negotiating with another Jew, upset by Fox's defeat
