- Abstract:
- "A game of marbles (taw, cf. BMSat 7393) for the crown is in progress; the Prince of Wales is dressed as a toddling child in petticoats but is larger in scale than the other figures; he leans towards Fox, Sheridan, and Burke (who are aiming at the crown) but is restrained by Pitt (right) who holds him in leading-strings, saying, "Hold, Not so fast Georgy". The Prince wears one of the cushioned caps ('puddings') then used to protect children's heads; in it are three feathers. The crown is at his feet, surrounded by a ring of marbles. Fox and Sheridan kneel side by side; Fox is about to play, saying, "My Game for a Crown". Sheridan, holding his marble, says, "Knuckle down and dont funck, [To funk = to advance the hand unfairly in playing marbles. Partridge, 'Dict. of Slang', 1937.] Charley". Burke stands behind them, leaning eagerly forward, saying, "My turn next Sherry". He wears a Jesuit's biretta (cf. BMSat 6026). Pitt, 'chapeau-bras', wears court dress. Behind the Prince is a circular stand on wheels for supporting a toddling child."--British museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The six Commissioners from Ireland seated on bulls, facing and clutching the tails of the animals (as in Gillray's 'Paddy', BMSat 5605), gallop towards the façade of Carlton House, where the Prince of Wales (left) and the Duke of York (right) look from behind pillars at the embarrassing deputation. Their leader, Leinster (left), holds a long document, saying, "Aye Aye the M------ of B------k------m will remember me when I go back". The others say (left to right), "By Jasus the folks stare at us as they do at Wild beastises"; "Lord what a nice Errand is this make him Regent whether or no"; "I say my Friend C------n-----y [Connolly] we shall be there the Day before the Fair"; "Well? Yes I dare say well why he was so bad he could say nothing but What, What, What, when we left Dublin" (it was noted (8 Feb.) as a sign of the King's recovery that he had resumed his habitual 'What, what', a phrase never used during his illness, F. Greville, 'Diaries', p. 213); "What no occasion for a R--g--t then by Jasus we will go back again and tell the Lads we are all mad & by the Lord 'tis my opinion we are come over for nothing at all at all." The bulls are being urged on by two men in court-suits with long rat's tails to show that they are 'rats'. They are (left) 'D . . . Q------', the Duke of Queensberry, and (right) 'M------s L------', Marquis of Lothian. From an upper window on the extreme right, inscribed 'Pall Mall Ordinary', Weltje (cf. BMSat 7509) looks down at the scene, saying, "Begar I must go prepare more Sourcrout for dese Wild Bullocks."--British Museum online catalogue
